Wanted: a Congress member whom has watched Bill Moyers' Impeachment Special?

Holding our leaders accountable - Bill Moyers' Impeachment Special

Let's put a little reality back into our representatives of Congress.

I have not heard of any member of the US Congress who to date has watched the Bill Moyers' Tough Talk on Impeachment Special!

Hello am I the only one that finds that strange!!


To date, on video clips these are the members of the 110th Congress whom admitted to their constituents that they had NOT watched the Bill Moyers' special on impeachment.

  1. Howard Berman (28th CA Dem)
  2. Brad Sherman (27th CA Dem)
  3. Henry Waxman (30th CA Dem)
  4. Adam Schiff (29th CA Dem)
  5. Elton Gallegy (24th CA Rep)
  6. Norm Dicks (WA Dem)
  7. Chris Murphy (CT Dem)
Okay so out of 435 members 7 members are not a significant piece of the pie. However, I will bet you my virginity - that out of the 233 Democratic representatives in Congress 50% or more have not to date viewed the Bill Moyers' Tough Talk on Impeachment Special!

Am I the only one that finds that strange - upsetting - irresponsible?

Novel idea: Congress puts their schedule online!

Holding our leaders accountable

As the result of two little bloggers in Montana (that state next to Sen. Craig's - could not resist) & the Sunlight Foundation (transparent government) Denny Rehlberg Montana has become the FIRST US REPRESENTATIVE to post his schedule online!

Hello - our elected officials should not have to be solicited nor asked to post their schedule. Let's go after Nancy Pelosi. I have a little game I call "where in the world is Nancy Pelosi" - she is never on camera nor record.

For details on the bloggers that held their congressman Rehlberg accountable:

Where in the world is Madame CEO Pelosi?


This past weekend Nancy was in Bean Town campaigning for Niki Tsongas, the Democrat running against Ogonowski, in the race to represent the Fifth Congressional Massachusetts district. Interesting tidbit on this seat - this is the seat opened when Rep. Meehan decided not to run to become chancellor of the University of Massachusetts’s campus in Lowell.

PS - I will BET YOU MY VIRGINITY there is a quid pro quo going on with Madame CEO Pelosi campaigning for Tsongas. And that is "I will campaign for you missy - but you follow my heel clicks - no IMPEACHMENT if you are elected".

Boston Globe did an article on Madame CEO Pelosi's visit to Boston - but I enjoy the Baltimore Sun "web blog" on it - as it has great comments later on.

Nancy Pelosi - her version of reality

An alert blogger on Baltimore Sun caught Madame CEO Pelosi in a "misrepresentation of reality" on why the Democratically controlled Congress cannot stop this train wreck called Iraq. See below.

This is nothing but the typical disingenuous B.S. we get from Nancy Pelosi. She just lied with a smile.

It doesn't take 60 Senate votes to kill a funding bill. In fact, funding bills must start in the House of Representatives. If all House Democrats simply voted against any further funding when another request is made, the war would come to an end. They had two chances to do this already since they took over Congress – and they failed both times.

Yeah, sure she's hoping people don't understand the logistics of Congress all right. She's hoping that's true because, if so, it would mean that people are too ignorant to realize she just lied. Yeah, blame it on the Senate. And blame all colloidal dispersions on the dog, too.

Where in the world is Madame CEO Pelosi?


MSM have grown a pair.

Axelrod, a CBS reporter asked Madame CEO Pelosi & Harry Reid an uncomfortable question when they exited the Oval office. Excerpts.

CBS White House reporter Jim Axelrod mentioned to Pelosi that, come November 2008, the number of American troops in Iraq likely will be the same as in November 2006, when Democrats were swept into power. Then, he asked, “How do you view your stewardship of Congress as anything other than a failure to make the president change course?”

Pelosi was instantly taken aback. “What a lovely objective question on the part of the press!” she remarked.
