Senate Democratic leaders call for White House Rove inquiry

Democratic Senate leaders Harry Reid (D-NV), Dick Durbin (D-IL), Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) and Chuck Schumer (D-NY) wrote a letter to President Bush today calling for an internal investigation into whether his adviser Karl Rove leaked the identity of a covert CIA agent, RAW STORY has learned.

"We urge you to launch an investigation immediately," the senators write. "Anyone who is involved in the leaking of a covert agent's identity, especially for political purposes, does not deserve the privilege of serving as a senior adviser to the President of the United States.

A Justice Department investigation is ongoing, and Bush has said he will await the results of that investigation before taking any further steps. It is unlikely he would agree to an internal inquiry.


In a statement this afternoon, Democratic House leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) suggested the White House might be obstructing justice, a buzzword that rings of Watergate.

2. WOW. Just the words Watergate send chills (and excitement)
down my back. Bush is only 6 months into his second term and look at the mess we are in. His approval ratings are consistantly below 50%. Americans are quickly catching on that Iraq is a quagmire and bottomless pit of spending and death. Social Security privatization is basically dead at this moment with no hope of being resurrected. The Terri Schiavo situation didn't help matters. The Jesus Christers are not happy with the President or Congress. Stem Cell Research is back on the heap of issues which the pResident is on the bad end of.

Now THIS Watergate-type problem that the administration is involved in. Only 3 and 1/2 years to go Shrub.

8. It seems to me that you asked the same question about Durbin yesterday
in a thread that had nothing to do with Dick Durbin.

7. We Know The First Buffoon is a Liar, along with Liein' Leezy,

Card, Rove, Libby, McClellan and Mehlman

. That is a given. You also will note that when CNN hack Blitzer had Mehlman on his show, he slobbered all over his ass and had no opposing viewpoint. Why would we think Gonzales would allow an investigation of the treason at the OutHouse?
