Senator Robert Byrd:
"(The Senate) retains all of its original powers, including ... serving as a court of impeachment--you better believe it, Mr. President. The Senate can send you home. You better believe that ... If the House impeaches you, the Senate will try you."

David Shuster:
"WHILE HIS SUPPORTERS CONTINUE TO PUT ON A GOOD FACE, SOURCES CLOSE TO KARL ROVE SAY THE PRESIDENTIAL ADVISOR IS NOW MORE WORRIED, NOT LESS, THAT HE IS GOING TO GET INDICTED."

Kevin Drum:
"... more on the delaying game being played by Senate Intelligence Committee chair Pat Roberts ... Roberts quietly allowed a key deadline for his committee's investigation into intelligence manipulation to slip weeks ago ... Now that the subject of the committee is possible misconduct by President Bush, Roberts obviously has no intention of ever allowing anything to see the light of day."

Steve Clemons:
"Oil barons are inappropriately lining their coffers with mountains of dollars from American citizens ...  If there is blame to be assigned for today's situation, it rests with Cheney and the utter failure of the Bush energy policy that was crafted cooperatively with a secret oil and energy industry cabal -- whose proceedings of key meetings Cheney will not disclose."

Justin Rood:
"More details this morning about the Brent Wilkes-Mitch Wade hooker ring ... Kyle "Dusty" Foggo, now the executive director of the CIA, liked to come to those "parties." The same ones now-CIA Director Porter Goss may have attended ..."

Eddie Vedder:
It's just not the time to be cryptic ... our tax dollars for this (Iraq) war are being funneled through huge corporations -- one of which Dick Cheney used to be head of (Halliburton) -- and there's an even greater disparity between rich or poor in this country. It offends me on a really deep level.
