9/11 panel starting to melt down
Some ugly details.
Hastert says his mind is made up not to give the panel the extension even the WhiteWash House agrees it should have (I guess Bush wants Hastert to play Bad Cop and do his dirty work for him in an election year) ... Hastert says he doesn't want the report to become a "political football"—chutzpah!
Condi-lie-za says she'd prefer not to testify in public, and the panel rolls over ...
Bush says he'll visit with the Commission, but will only talk to the chairs (i.e., not the the families) ....
It's getting farcical fast. Why do the families stand for it? And why do the Democrats on the panel?
