That's a good clip, guys...

I don't surf the same beaches that Bud Cummin's people do, but he seems like a regular Republican who is decent...

The Bush administration was foolish to let Bud go...

And as loyal as he is Bud won't fault the GOP for it...just some of the people...

I grew up with some GOP influence...old school conservative ideas and such...

Not the same GOP now though...

David and Gladden thanks for bending over and getting the excellent video.
I dislike being the finicky beggar but sound quality if often more important than the visuals. I had to play this one 3x to understand what he was saying.
Thanks again.

Rosso I think many Rs around the nation are realizing that when was once an actual conservative party has been overtaken, like a Ghost Crab, by the likes of Cheney, Wolfowitz, Rumsfield who have virtually destroyed whatever mainstream appeal it once had.
I'm not complaining either.

Yes...I quickly learned the value of external microphones. The built-in mic on the camera is great if you're right in someone's face, but at a distance it will all sound like you're in a cave. Thanks for the effort!

It's pretty bad when left leaning liberals have to come to bat for 8 Republicans getting gang raped by their own team. If Bud Cummins seems likable and decent, there is the very reason he got kicked off Team Bush.

They don't want Party loyalty with a small p, they want remote controlled zombies that will carry out any orders from the White House.

I'd welcome the Rove 8 over to our side, if they ever figure out how badly their party has stabbed them in the back. Wise up guys and gals....neo-con Republicans eat their own.

This is a tad off subject, but I'm still trying to clear my mind of Rove's silly-assed rap performance at the White House Correspondents' dinner. God, what a fool. What could he have been thinking? I mean, did he actually think he was being cool?

The sound quality at the event was horrible. The sound on the video is better than the sound in the room. No kidding.

The Rove apology notwithstanding, when asked what he thought should happen to Gonzolez, Cummins's immediate response was, "In this life?"

He was much better than I expected, although he steered far away from any suggestion that there is any hidden agenda to the firings, "just people" not doing their jobs,was his refrain.

I think he has a sincere understanding of the obligations of public service, unlike his Commander in Chief.

>I think he has a sincere understanding of the obligations of public service, unlike his Commander in Chief.<

Recall the Watergate felons? They were just saying politics as usual, not much else, and many of them were decent people caught in a web of deciet.

I find Mr. Cummins delightfully direct but that doesn't mean he has an inside line on what's happening or in the event he does he's being a good soldier.
