Sauce for the Goose.....

The Washington Prowler in the American Spectator:

On the Senate side, Sen. Harry Reid and his chairman of the DSCC, Sen. Chuck Schumer, continue to press the anti-war rhetoric as key to their success. On Thursday afternoon, Reid took heat from some members for his soft response to Republicans who called Democrat bluffs on a censure vote against President Bush for the NSA overseas terrorist monitoring program.

According to sources with knowledge of the closed-door meeting, Reid pushed back on his colleagues, telling them that it wasn't a good idea to vote to censure anyone with ties to the NSA program, particularly since there was a criminal investigation underway to determine who had leaked the NSA program's specifics, and that investigation could enmesh one or more of their own.

Sen. Dick Durbin has been mentioned as a possible suspect: Durbin in the Dock. So why did Sen. Durbin defend Feingold's censure resolution on FoxNews this last Sunday, rather than backing away from it? Maybe Durbin is going out of his way to show he's not soft on censure, lil ole innocent me, hoping he won't get caught out on the NSA leak. As the number 2 Democrat leader to Harry Reid his leadership position, at the very least, could be in jeopardy. Oh, but we forget, Democrats almost never oust their leaders, no matter how corrupt.
