Steno Sue

* Susan Schmidt held a wapo-online chat:

"Susan Schmidt: One thing this (abramoff) investigation has so far shown is how important it is for members of Congress to know what their staffers are doing in their name."

first they said 'the dems did it too' and now 'it's the staffers, stupid'. jeebus

* and this:

"Susan Schmidt: Alice Fisher has been in and out of the Bush Justice Department. Her appointment was held up as a procedural move by a member of the Senate for reasons unrelated to her qualifications. All top DOJ officials are Bush appointees. I am not aware of any ties between Fisher and DeLay."

sheesh! even i know of such ties.

* and then this:

"Susan Schmidt: I have been told by numerous people that Ralph Reed helped Ralston move to the White House. It happened when Abramoff was out of the country. He let people believe he had engineered the move to enhance his appearance of access to Rove."

and that's why they call her Steno Sue
