Showdown looms in attorney firings probe

The Democrat controlled Senate will issue subpoenastoday and the White House will rescind its offer to allow advisors Karl Rove and Harriet Miers to speak privately with Senators and Representatives.  And the President will be sustained by the SCOTUS.

A tempest in a teapot that will soon blow over – providing the White House stands its ground.

Remember Rudy NOT Fit for the White House and the sham poll of New York Business.com powered by Crain’s written by an online intern, Kira Bindrim?

Here is a poll screenshot:

Now, they are reporting the results and comments.

A majority of respondents to a Crain’s online poll agree with columnist Alair Townsend, who wrote in this week’s issue that former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani doesn’t have the temperament to be an effective president. Nearly 68% of 1,303 poll respondents believe that Mr. Giuliani would be too abrasive for the White House, while 32% said his style would translate well. Here are some of respondents’ comments:

But, look at some of the comments:

“Who does Townsend think she’s kidding? She never voted – ever, for Giuliani. How soon we forget post 9/11, and the leadership qualities that Giuliani displayed! Speaking about changes in Washington, just look at the new majority(s) track record to date, no constructive plans for war, the economy, or the safety of our country, especially the border issues. Townsend needs to get a life and be more objective about important national issues.” –Vincent Mocerino

“Our country and every country need a decision maker that will stick it in your eye. Is there any other style that the bad guys understand?” –M. Philip Butler

“We need a decision maker in Washington, a person not afraid of the job. If he cocks up he will not be re-elected. Washington is full of compromise, we need action. He is a quick study and has guts.” –August Spieler

“Alair Townsend has no concept of what it takes to get things done. Decisive leadership often causes a great deal of friction. Rudy would be a breath of fresh air in the White House.” –Rob Salvatico

“So, most New Yorkers that answered this poll didn’t like him. Let’s remember 2004 when most NYers said ‘…everyone voted for Kerry.’ NYC is not the U.S. and the U.S. is not NYC. His message plays well in Pioria. You have to look beyond the concrete canyons of NYC to see what the rest of the U.S. is thinking.” –J. S. Ghanooni

“You phrase the question negatively, which introduces a bias. Giuliani is an effective and proven leader. The question should be ‘Do Nancy Pelosi, John Murtha and Charles Rangel have the temperament to work constructively with any Republican in the White House?’” –Bruce Kowal

*******

Does this sound like a 30% minority?

Townsend, nice try to plant a negative story on Rudy and spread it through the internet.

But, your bull doesn’t pass the smell test…….
