WALK OUT: 9/11 COMMISSIONERS BOB KERREY AND LEE HAMILTON LEAVE IN MIDDLE OF BUSH/CHENEY TESTIMONY

A meeting that both the White House and the 9/11 commission had billed as historic… the Oval Office session began at 9:30 a.m. and ended at 12:40 p.m., and two Democrat commission members — Lee Hamilton, the vice chairman, and Bob Kerrey — walked out!

The departure has ignited talk throughout official Washington.

In a written statement, Kerrey said he left an hour early to attend ‘a previously scheduled meeting with Senator Pete Domenici on Capitol Hill.’

Hamilton left Bush/Cheney 70 minutes early to meet with the Canadian Prime Minister.

It is embarrassing that Lee Hamilton is a Hoosier.
