44 Votes Hillary…
Posted by Raven on September 15th, 2005
Shillary, or Billary depending upon how your mood is, must be sitting at home with steam coming out of her ears. I bet she is pissed off. Too bad. She got ditched by her peers in the Senate and it’s a good thing. She’s been a bit big headed lately, time someone put her in her place.
Senate Republicans on Wednesday scuttled an attempt by Sen. Hillary Clinton to establish an independent, bipartisan panel patterned after the 9/11 Commission to investigate what went wrong with federal, state and local governments’ response to Hurricane Katrina.
The New York Democrat’s bid to establish the panel — which would have also made recommendations on how to improve the government’s disaster response apparatus — failed to win the two-thirds majority needed to overcome procedural hurdles. Clinton got only 44 votes, all from Democrats and independent Sen. Jim Jeffords of Vermont. Fifty-four Republicans all voted no.
44 VOTES Hillary. Think about that.
The Senate vote is hardly likely to be the last word on whether to create an independent commission or as an alternative a special congressional committee to investigate Katrina. The 9/11 Commission was established in 2002 after resistance from Republicans and the White House, and opinion polls show the public strongly supports the idea. In a CNN/USA Today Gallup poll taken Sept. 8-11, 70 percent of those surveyed supported an independent panel to investigate the government’s response to Katrina. Only 29 percent were opposed.
Can you read the bias in this last paragraph? That’s the AP for you doing what they do best. Using poll numbers and past situations to justify something not at all related to the subject of this article. I have no problem with an investigation, as long as it isn’t a bunch of bullshit (like the 9-11 Commission report was and is)…and I think the President is going to ask for this anyway. Hillary doesn’t need to use the hurricane as another stepping stone into the White House.

What are you talking about? There is no bias in the MSM.
