Steve Clemons:
"Karl Rove is back before the Valerie Plame case grand jury this morning -- being reported everywhere.  What would a Rove indictment be worth in terms of Bush approval rating points -- now at 32%."

Kevin Drum:
"We keep hearing that the intelligence committees in Congress are a rare example of sober, bipartisan consensus, but Roberts apparently subscribes to Grover Norquist's definition of bipartisanship: it's date rape. It looks like Roberts is still bound and determined to loyally do whatever it takes to cover up the Bush administration's prewar manipulations."

Matthew Yglesias:
"The GOP, as we all know, is desperately afraid of the possibility that the 2006 midterms will put Democrats in a position to hold some hearings ... The wildly underexplored subject of what's been going on with the money being spent in Iraq strikes me as something that should be a prime candidate."

Digby:
"I agree with Matt that the Democrats need to be smart about how they go about investigating the Bush administration and should concentrate on the key areas that best illustrate their massive failure. I also agree that war profiteering is an overlooked subject that focuses on the corrupt crony capitalism that has fueled this administration from day one."

Robert J. Samuelson:
"The administration's central problem is its policies, not the people executing the policies ... If you're driving in the wrong direction, or not driving at all, changing chauffeurs doesn't help."

Darren M. Allen:
"At least a dozen legislators are calling for the impeachment of President Bush, making Vermont the second Legislature in the country to take up the issue."
