Walter Jones' reading list

Walter JonesU.S. Rep. Walter Jones may be a fan of a new book urging the prosecution of George W. Bush.

The Washington Post reports that the Farmville Republican is likely the "conservative Southern
Congressman" who called Vincent Bugliosi on June 16 to say he is a big fan of his book.

The name of the book: "The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder."

In a subsequent phone conversation, Bugliosi says he asked Mr. Southern Conservative Congressman if it would be better that the author not disclose the name of his biggest Republican fan on Capitol Hill. The congressman, according to Bugliosi, replied, "It's better that my name not come out at this point. But I promise you that after the election I'll be standing there by your side."

The book pushes the argument that Bush should be tried for murder for the invasion of Iraq.

Better than Herman, we guess

U.S. Rep. Brad Miller felt a little out of place at a recent Judiciary committee hearing.

The Raleigh Democrat was one of several witnesses who testified in late July at a hearing on whether George W. Bush had exceeded his constitutional authority.

Speaking to reporters today, Miller said that the legal questions he raised were overshadowed by former Democratic presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich's talk of impeachment.

Other witnesses included Washington lawyer Bruce Fein, who has written a play about impeaching Bush, and Vincent Bugliosi, author of "The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder."

Miller said he was reminded of a TV character from long ago known for being the one normal person in a weird family — and shunned for it.

"I felt like Marilyn Munster," he said.
