Clarke praised Bush team in 2002

i was happy to see former governor thompson of illinois just gave him some hard questions.

the dems on the panel are  praising him and tossing out softballs.

Walter,

Yes. The sad part is that this entire spectacle is turning into partisan politics on both sides. The Dems have been a little more overt about it, but the Republicans are doing it as well. The only panel members who seem truly unbiased to me are Tom Kean and Bob Kerrey. Everyone else appears to be pushing their own party line. Bob Kerrey is a guy I wish we had on our side...he's pretty much all of the things that John Kerry CLAIMS to be.

I just have one question:  Whay does this guy get more time on the stand then Powell and Tenet?

Supersoulty,

Three reasons:

1. The panel knows he'll be highly critical of Bush.
2. The media knows that "rats" make great television.
3. It's possible that the panel asks each witness how much time they need or can afford to allocate. People like Powell and Tenet have a real job that requires their attention. This egomaniac Clarker would stay up there for 2 1/2 days if they let him.
