James Sensenbrenner, Jr. (R-WI) called on 9/11 Commissioner Jamie Gorelick to resign Wednesday over what he says is a conflict of interest revealed during Attorney General John Ashcroft's testimony before the panel. Ashcroft pointed to a 1995 memo written by the former deputy attorney general that heightened the 'wall' prohibiting the sharing of intelligence information and criminal information. In a press release, Sensenbrenner...cited the commission's own guidelines on recusals that states, �commissioners and staff will recuse themselves from investigating work they performed in prior government service.� " - Jeff Gannon, Talon News, 4/15/04 GORELICK SAYS POUND DIRT �Jamie Gorelick, a woman Dick Morris has called the public official �most responsible for 9/11 happening,� is refusing to leave her post on the 9/11 Commission.� She was the deputy attorney general during the Clinton years, and by all accounts really wore the pants at the justice department.� So once again, we have another double standard.� Can you imagine the howls of protest if a former Bush official was on this same commission charged with investigating events in which they took part?� The media would be jumping up and down, along with Democrats in Congress.� As it stands now, hardly a word. Funny how that happens, isn't it?� - Talk-show host Neal Boortz, 4/15/04 KEAN SAYS BUTT OUT �People ought to stay out of our business." - 9/11 Commission chairman Thomas Kean, on allegations that commissioner Jamie Gorelick has a conflict of interest, quoted in the� Washington Post SURVEY SAYS! �Should 9/11 commissioner Jamie Gorelick be forced to step down from the commission due to her conflict of interest?� * Yes * No * I�m a Kerry Democrat: Yes AND No Cast your vote by clicking the �Survey Says!� tab at www.citizenoutreach.com TAX IDIOTS �Check around for your personal tax idiot. And just how do you identify your own personal tax idiot?� Everybody has one, you have to find yours.� It's really very simple.� You just walk to some friend or coworker and ask �How much did you have to pay in income taxes this year?�� If they answer �I didn't have to pay anything, I'm getting some back!� You have found your own personal tax idiot.� Please take care of them for they are stupid and incapable of survival without your help.� - Talk-show host Neal Boortz, 4/15/04 STRAW THAT BROKE UNITED WAY�S BACK �I've finally had it with the United Way. This week, yet another United Way chapter cut off funding to the Boy Scouts of America. United Way of Northwestern Michigan in Traverse City, Michigan will entirely remove the Scenic Trails Boy Scouts Council from its charitable giving campaign. . . . Since the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 2000 that the Scouts have the right to exclude homosexuals from leadership and membership, the anti-Scout backlash has been most vicious at the hands of the United Way. �...It's time for Americans who care about the Boy Scouts to stop giving to anti-Scout United Ways. Even if it's convenient to make contributions through your workplace or if you've always supported the United Way, discontinue giving to the United Way if it no longer gives to the Scouts. Until we stop supporting anti-Scout United Way chapters, the United Way will increasingly de-fund the Boy Scouts in cities and towns across the country. - Columnist Hans Zeiger (For a complete list of all the United Way chapters which are sticking it to the Boy Scouts, reader Zeiger�s full column here: http://www.gopusa.com/commentary/hzeiger/2004/hz_0415.shtml) LI�L NATE�S CHECKERED PAST �The facts are that (Nathan) Tabor got arrested for vandalizing a farmer's property, he didn't show up for his court date for driving violations in Wilkes County, and he did get sued for four million dollars by the pornography vendor he used to send out spam emails for his business. Who could vote for someone like that?� - NC-5 candidate Vernon Robinson, Davie County Enterprise Record IN THE INTEREST OF FAIRNESS� Nate Tabor�s campaign manager advises that the �Tabor for Congress� Meetup is a �crock.� Jason Saine says that �Someone set this up without our knowledge.� I�ll take Jason�s word for it on this one. I�M LEAVING...ON A JET PLANE Am heading out this morning for Palm Springs, CA, where I�ll be speaking at the Log Cabin Republican national convention this weekend. Will be back on Monday.
