Washington Whispers by Paul Bedard

Waxman Hunting for Bush Lies

October 12, 2007 11:39 PM ET | Paul Bedard | Permanent Link

Rep. Henry Waxman, considered the meanest dog in town by the GOP, is still sniffing around the White House for proof the president lied when making the case for going to war in Iraq. We hear that he's been quietly summoning former Bush aides, especially speechwriters, to testify behind closed doors about what they knew and how they phrased his words on the issue. Whispers hears that one called in was John Gibson, a former National Security Council speechwriter. He wouldn't spill to us. The committee had no comment either, but an administration official says, "It is yet another item on the ever growing fishing expedition list from Representative Waxman."

Fishing

Dear Paul, I would suggest you put on some goggles and go for a swim. At which point you will see that there are so many fish one can barely see.

The sad part is folks like yourself who cover for a very sick group of people. Meanwhile, your peers are loosing arm and legs, their lives, while the economy tanks.

What a joy it would be to restore the draft, and move Republicans to the front of the line.

That would be my first executive order.
