I doubt Rove and Bolten even care about being in contempt of anything - in fact, I think they enjoy it. Unless, of course, the Capitol police arrest them for being in contempt. Wouldn't that be a sight for sore eyes?

Subject: War on Hanukkah
An
interesting thing about the Jewish couple beaten on the NY subway by the 10
"Christian" thugs.
http://www.nydailynews.com/news/ny_crime/2007/12/12/2007-12-12_muslim_hero_breaks_up_train_beating-1.html
The Good Samaritan who tried to stop the Christmas-versus-Chanukah subway
beating has two black eyes and a sore nose - but no regrets.
"I did what I thought was right," said Hassan Askari, 20. "I did the best that I
could to help."
Askari, a Bangladeshi Muslim studying at Berkeley College in Manhattan, was on a
Q train headed to Brooklyn late Friday when he came to the aid of young women
confronted by a group of 10 thugs.
Fearful for the women's safety, he pushed one of the men away - and was then
pounced on by the group, he said.
"They grabbed me and punched and beat me up," Askari said.
"They punched me first. I didn't get a chance to punch him back."
Askari, all of 5-feet-7 and 140 pounds, said he was left with a swollen face.
He said he didn't go to the doctor because he's too busy working two waiter jobs
and doesn't have the money for medical care.
He was mystified as to why the men became so outraged when the women and their
male friends wished them a "Happy Chanukah" while they were yelling "Merry
Christmas" on the train car.
"I don't understand," he said. "They were just being nice."
There are good and bad people in all religions.

Thanks for writing Don.
I wholeheartedly agree that there are good and bad people in all religions---and two of the bad guys that come to mind are Osama and Bush.
Come to think of it, have any Christians gotten beaten up for wishing someone a Merry Christmas?

"President Bush accidentally gave out the wrong phone number for the subprime

want to give them a loan either." --Jake
