pure bs Correction!
In the post below titled, "Reid Dumps Alito From News Cycle!," I made a sweeping statement about closed Senate sessions.
CBS News political corresondent Bob Fuss was probably mis-quoted. A more correct statement about closed Senate sessions would read something like, "There has not been a closed session in 25 years, where the other side wasn't consulted beforehand"(publicly, one can only assume, as what goes on - or went on behind closed doors - prior to Reid's remarkable day can never really be known)
You may think that this is a trifling distinction, but in the interest of accurate blogging, it needs to be aired.
Sorry about any mis-conceptions my earlier post may have caused.
Then there is CBS' Bob Fuss' assertion that, "There has not been a closed session in 25 years." Um..Wrong!Since my work does indeed depend on accuracy, it is my duty to give you, my gentle readers the whole truth.
On 8, Jan. 1999, the Senate had a closed session to discuss the impeachment process of one William Jefferson Clinton. There were six sessions about the fellated fellow. Of course there have been a few other instances in the last quarter century..But hey, I'm a semi-conductor engineer. My work depends on accuracy ;)
