New Independent Council Rejected nytimes.com

One more for the rode, somewhat off topic, quotes for amusement only.

Republicans were upset.

Boo hoo.

A clearly disappointed Sen. Fred Thompson, R-Tenn., who chaired the committee that referred Ickes' testimony to Reno for scrutiny, said: ''The demise of the independent counsel law when it expires this year may be the most notable 'achievement' of her tenure as attorney general.''

Yes, but I'd say that will have a lot more to do with Ken Starr than with Janet Reno.

Rep. Dan Burton, R-Ind., who chaired a House committee investigation of campaign financing, said, ''The attorney general is once again protecting the president and his friends. Janet Reno has defied the spirit and the letter of the independent counsel statute. ... Her investigation has become a sham.''

Well, there's shams, and then there's shams. Remember Whitewater? Who killed Vince Foster? All those other things Starr couldn't come up with any evidence on? Never mind.
