Representative Christopher Cox has called for a big government conservative investigation into the memos CBS used in its recent pieces on George W. Bush's National Guard service:
This is a request that you commence a Subcommittee investigation into the continued use by CBS News of apparently forged documents concerning the service record of President George W. Bush intended to unfairly damage his reputation and influence the outcome of the 2004 presidential election.
Because, you know, it really is the responsibility of Congress to punish forgers when they bother the guys in your Party. Speaking of which, perhaps Representative Cox could request a similar type investigation into the Niger "yellow cake" letters that cost over 1,000 American lives in Iraq.
Believe me, I fully understand that protecting W. from criticism comes first. Its like a national emergency. Or something. Dead GIs always rank last where politicians are concerned. But I'd consider it a personal favor if he could take a little time out to investigate the "yellow cake" letters.
You know – if its not too much trouble and stuff.
