April 29, 2007Comment on Sunday's local commentaryThere is no 'witch hunt'; it's accountability After six years of congressional sycophancy and rubber-stamping of virtually every whim, caprice and malefaction of the Bush administration, demands for "accountability" from the new congressional leadership have become a welcome regularity.
After the carnage, the supermarket on University Boulevard has become the unlikely venue for consolation. We fill our baskets just as we did before, though many of us forget what we need a few seconds after we've glanced at our lists. Even so, lists help. Some of us can't function without them. If I write down what I need in an orderly fashion, things seem less brutal.
America is in an internal war today; perhaps the biggest threat to the very existence of future generations of this blessed country is the struggle for the future of our lands.
What are your priorities? Before you answer, what I really mean is "our" priorities. We are all a part of a community of individuals who must act for the greater good and not just for our individual needs.

JoshConcerning Tommy Denton's column:
I got three names for you. William Jefferson, Alan Mollohan, and John Murtha.
As long as any of those three crooks are allowed to not only remain in Congress, but given important committee assignments, there isn't a DAMN thing Democrats can say about ethics.

Another WillJosh,
The misdeeds of those you mention pale in comparison to those of Bush's administration and republicans in general.
The manipulation if intelligence to scare the American people into supporting a war against Iraq reveals the total lack of ethics of the President and his neocon cronies. Many conservatives that I know are angry with themselves for being fooled and frightened by the lies about weapons of mass destruction.

JoshAnother Will,
Kenneth Starr netted 14 convictions plus an impeachment in the Whitewater scandal; Fitzgerald has just one very flimsy one in his several years of trying.
If the WMD were a lie, whose lie were they? Bill Clinton's? Hillary's? Albright's? Kerry's?
You liberals cling to that canard so tightly, I think you believe it yourselves.
