Democrats?
Kenny B asks where are the Democrats? That's a good question, though Biden and a few others have been very vocal in calling for Rumsfeld to resign, but I would prefer they take the lead in the conversation, instead of just trying to let the weight of the bad news and press scrutiny take its toll on Republicans.

And I promised before that I wouldn't have anything bad to say out loud about Kerry, but it's frustrating that his many positions nuanced position about Iraq has rendered him pretty ineffective in taking on Bush there, and now, to be honest, I feel like his own acknowledged past in Vietnam (atrocities was his word to describe his own activities in 1971) has left him unable to have much of a voice at all in this scandal.

Does Kerry think Democrats are overplaying their hand with this story? From a purely political, winning new votes point-of-view, do you think they are?
