Just finished checking out the Senate Democratic Policy Committee’s “Protecting Identities of Covert Agents” meeting. The meeting is still going on, but there’s only so much Larry Johnson one can be asked or expected to endure.

Even though Congress has not authorized such a hearing, the far left elements of the Democratic Party arranged this meeting as their fantasy version of a Karl Rove trial. House member Henry Waxman made as much clear in his opening remarks, “The Republican Congress can hold a hearing as early as next week with Karl Rove.”

After Waxman was finished, Michigan liberal John Conyers took the microphone and declared, “Karl Rove can either come forward and explain his role in the Valerie Plame affair or he should resign from the administration.” It doesn’t a consultation with Holmes and Watson on Baker Street to deduce which conclusion Conyers would prefer.

Finally, New York Democrat Louise Slaughter amplified the rhetoric by stating, “Time and time again this administration has been let off the hook by their allies in Congress. … Our ability to thwart another terrorist attack was recklessly compromised … Is it possible President Bush and Vice President Cheney could have been involved themselves?”

The whole scene has been playing out like a leftist group therapy session. So-called witnesses making direct references to the Iraq war, the election of 2000, and how much more “honorable” President Bush’s father is now so far removed from office.
