Ok this is breaking. But lets start earlier, yesterday to be exact.

Democrats Urge Inquiry on Bush, Iraq

Rep. John Conyers asked to hold a hearing on the "Downing Street Memo". The republican controlled House refused to grant space to hold this hearing in the normal hearing rooms, so Conyers held the hearing yesterday in the BASEMENT of the House.

"The Democratic congressmen were relegated to a tiny room in the bottom of the Capitol and the Republicans who run the House scheduled 11 major votes to coincide with the afternoon event."

Now ask yourself a question. Why if there is no story here, would Conyers be refused a room in the House, AND why would Republicans in the House schedule 11 major votes the same afternoon?

"The White House refuses to respond to a May 5 letter from 122 congressional Democrats about whether there was a coordinated effort to 'fix' the intelligence and facts around the policy, as the Downing Street memo says.

White House spokesman Scott McClellan says Conyers 'is simply trying to rehash old debates.'

Conyers and a half-dozen other members of Congress were stopped at the White House gate later Thursday when they hand-delivered petitions signed by 560,000 Americans who want Bush to provide a detailed response to the Downing Street memo."

Despicable! The president refuses to allow a member of Congress into the Whitehouse to deliver a letter and over 500,000 signatures to him????!!! How DARE he! I hope this f***er goes down!

Now to the breaking stuff.

More on this later.
