So the administration is gonna fight subpoenas for Rove and Meyers (if issued). They've previously said they'd fight every subpoena they received, all the way to the Supreme Court if necessary.
I just saw this on CNN. WTF? Whatever happened to Checks and Balances? I want a constitutional smack-down on Bush's ass.
My GYN is in a teaching hospital. I had another doctor one day and was sitting there when she walked in with a group of medical students who crowded around the end of the table and waited expectantly for me to scoot down. She mumbled quickly that these were medical students, etc. I said "was anyone going to ASK me before there were 10 people in the room?" She said "well, we thought that you wouldn't mind, but if you don't want to help the students learn, I can ask them to leave". I said "I don't know why you thought that, we've never met, you're not my regular doctor. Frankly, I don't appreciate the position that you have put me in, trying to embarrass me and bully me into allowing the students to stay for my exam with that passive aggressive comment." I then looked at the students and said "I'm sorry, if they had asked me, I would have said yes, but on principle for other women who fall for this, I'm going to say no." They sort of looked at me, then shuffled out. I then got off the table and said "I'm going to reschedule with my regular doctor." She looked pissed, but I just waited for her to leave. When I came back, I told my doctor what had happened, and he told me who to write the letter to.
I never suspected it was possible to think Vortex was any more kick-ass than I'd thought prior to reading this post. Damn, that was great to read.
It's a good thing they didn't tell me what it was because I'd be out trying to score some right this second.
Oh yeah, Cashmere. I'd be taking it every Monday night.
When DH came out from under the anesthesia from having his wisdom teeth cut out he got violently and verbally abusive. I was sitting in the waiting room reading a magazine when they asked me to come back and calm him down. He was flailing his arms and swearing in a garbled, out-of-it way. I've never been so frightened in my life. He calmed down when I spoke to him but it freaks me out to this day.
Ben was extremely aggitated (agitated -- neither looks correct) when he came out of general anesthesia. He was like a two year old beginning a tantrum, but was about 5', 100lbs. He was in a lot of pain, and they were insisting he void his bladder, and he had to, but it hurt. He threw himself backward across the middle of the bed in the recovery room. I had to catch him so he didn't hit his head on the bars on the other side. I thought my shoulders were going to vacate their sockets.
As I recall, "Executive Priviledge" does not excuse Rove and Miers from testifying when served with a subpoena. At most it will shield them from testifying from those communications which fall within the scope of the "privilege."
Interestingly, Clinton's senior aides testified many times (30+) when he was president.
I read that Bush just gave a short news conference, and people said he sounded really pissed off.
The gist of it was: Rove and Meyers are innocent. Therefore this is a partisan witchhunt. Therefore we don't have to let them testify.
Bush is guarding Rove like his ass is stuffed with gold. Turdblossom knows where all the bodies are buried.

This same thing happens to me. The last time, my dad came in and said, "Al, if you don't calm down, we'll never get out of here."
And that was that. And then there's no grogginess at all. It's like an adrenaline shot.
I've had to talk Hubby down a couple of times, but it wasn't anger, it was panic at being so disoriented. I put a hand on him, he took hold of my wrist and stared into my eyes. If I tried to look at anything else he'd start to panic, so I just stared back at him.
Kind of nice to be his anchor, but spooky too.
Ben's was definitely more panic than anything else too, connie. Even without the memory loss, it was scary.
I've killed the last three threads in which I've posted. Can I take down Natter, too?

At one point during that particular experience, she seemed to recognize me when she looked at my face, but then after a while she looked away and was gone again.
Really, I don't think anything else in my life has ever upset me quite so much as that one particular night.

You're why we can't have nice threads, Cindy.
