3. The ONLY reason Conyers looks into these things ..

is so that he can cover it up and sweep it under the rug.

The guy is a joke....our party is a joke.

4. to buzzy:

"i am requesting you contact the judiciary committee staff as soon as possible to set up a time to discuss your knowledge of the allegedly false letter"

big fucking deal.

11. What happens even if he PROVES Bush ordered the forgery?

This is a total farce. Pelosi has already given the administration total immunity. Conyers may as well spend his break in Michigan's 14th.
