Flip-flop
Facing yet another firestorm, the Decider agrees to a review of his illegal domestic spy program. You know, the one they don't have.
The White House, in an abrupt reversal, has agreed to let the full Senate and House of Representatives intelligence committees review President Stupie von Spankypants' domestic spying program, two days before a Senate confirmation hearing for Air Force Gen. Michael Hayden as the new CIA director.
The decision came after the White House received warnings from prominent Republican lawmakers, including Kansas Sen. Pat Roberts, chairman of the Intelligence Committee, that Hayden would face a hostile hearing if members voting on his confirmation were not trusted with information on the most controversial program he ran.
In making the concession, the misadministration is seeking to improve the prospects of the president's nominee to be the next CIA director by preempting attacks from lawmakers angry that they have been kept in the dark on domestic spying activities.
The first full Senate committee briefing is scheduled for Wednesday afternoon.

Sorry, I don't have any confidence in the supine spineless Dems.
