Dwight, did you know Lawrence Walsh was a Republican? I'll have to dig up the article I posted again, the most amusing part was Eliot Abrams on Lawrence Walsh. Now there was a perjurer! Non of this pansy-waist equivocating and legalistic weasel words with old Eliot. Where is he now, anyway?

As for fair-minded Henry Hyde, you may be right on that. He's old guard, compared to the Newt/DeLay/Armey young turks, and as such may actually remember what bipartisanship means. But he got the role because of being head of the Judiciary committee, not because the leadership was looking for somebody fair to run things.

There's been some talk of Newt assuming a statesmanlike role here. It might serve his political ambitions well, the administration is not going to come out of this looking good regardless. It doesn't seem in character, but he might surprise me. I wouldn't call him stupid, just very, very partisan. Well, his $6 million Rupert Murdoch book deal was not too bright, but money like that can make anybody stupid.

Cheers, Dan.
