Wexler’s Questioning of Sec. Rice

I received another email notification. In it, Rep. Wexler provide a link to this video “Wexler Confronts Condi on Iraq War Lies” (below) of his questioning of Sec. Rice. Although she denies ever having made a statement that she knew to be false, she never really answers his question…

On a side note, CBS News has posted an article on its website – Former Democratic nominee for President George McGovern gives his opinion regarding the Impeachment of Vice President Cheney. “McGovern: Impeach Bush, Cheney Now

Edit:  I just want to add the following quote from the article I mentioned above.

“House Speaker Pelosi has likewise dismissed calls for impeachment, suggesting that hearings would detract Congress from other business, or might create a backlash among voters in November 2008, thereby threatening the Democrats’ current hold on the majority. “

I think failing to impeach could cause a backlash to threaten the Democrat’s current hold on the majority.  When such a high percentage of Democratic voters have been calling for an end to the war and impeachment of Cheney, don’t you think they will be quite upset that their candidates have failed them?

Meeting My Mother

In a previous post “A Letter to My Mother“, I mentioned:

“When I was 3 years old, my parents divorced. Somehow, my father got custody of me. Unheard of in the very early 1960’s. Well, he left me with his mother (for 5 years until he remarried) and prevented my mother from having any further contact with me. When I was 18, I asked him for some data on her so I could find her – like a birthdate. He told me he “did not remember”. I still remember my ex-husband’s birthdate, but perhaps he was “just being a guy” in not remembering birthdates. Finally, when I was about 26, my mother contacted him (again). He relented and gave her my address. (More on this whole story in a later post).”

Here is some more of the story: Read more »
