	Jim McDermott: Get the Facts
		McDermott and Ethics Committee co-chair Congressman Fred Grandy (R) both were concerned that Gingrichâs proposal used tax-deductible c-3 money to finance a project that would be primarily a political organizing tool, a commingling that violates federal law as well as various rules and regulations.
		McDermott listened to the tape and heard Speaker Gingrich describing the elements of the agreement he had entered with investigators, orchestrating a media response in outright violation of that agreement, and discussing the entire matter with individuals beyond the Congress.
		McDermottâs release of the tape recording of the conference call appropriately brought to public scrutiny the intention and the attempt of the Speaker and other House leaders deliberately to mislead the public by âspinningâ the outcome of the Committeeâs investigation.

	FrontPage magazine.com :: Baghdad Bonior by George Will
		McDermott and Bonior are two specimens of what Lenin, referring to Westerners who denied the existence of Lenin's police-state terror, called ``useful idiots.'' Perhaps Iraqi officials, knowing fathomless gullibility when they see it--they have dealt with U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan--actually said such things.
		McDermott's accusation that the president--presumably with Cheney, Powell, Rumsfeld, Rice and others as accomplices--would use deceit to satisfy his craving to send young Americans into an unnecessary war is a slander licensed six days earlier by Al Gore.
		McDermott's and Bonior's espousal of Saddam's line, and of Gore's subtext (and Barbra Streisand's libretto), signals the recrudescence of the dogmatic distrust of U.S. power that virtually disqualified the Democratic Party from presidential politics for a generation.

	kingcountyjournal.com - The slow descent of Seattle's Jim McDermott (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		As soon as furious lawmakers condemned McDermott for his actions, his press secretary, Mike DeCesare, said that his boss ``caught himself up'' and ``hesitated, unsure of what he should do because the words `under God' are under court review.'' He said it was ridiculous for Republicans to accuse McDermott of doing it on purpose.
		McDermott had the tape leaked to the New York Times, the story landed on page one and, when asked about it by reporters, the congressman from Seattle pretended that it was the first he had heard about the phone call.
		Jim remains unbeatable in his district because his grouchiness mirrors the mood of his liberal constituents in Seattle.

		As most of you probably remember, the case against McDermott involves the now famous 1997 conference call regarding the ethics investigation of Newt Gingrich that was surreptitiously recorded off of the cell phone of Rep. John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) by a couple in Florida.
		McDermott denied leaking the transcript and was never charged with a criminal offense, but he did resign his seat on the Ethics Committee.

		McDermott, serving his eighth term from the Seattle area, has a solid liberal voting record.
		DeCesare added that McDermott was unsure whether to include the words at a time when the Supreme Court is reviewing a lower court ruling that recitation of the pledge in public schools is unconstitutional because of its reference to God.

	WorldNetDaily: Jim McDermott: Traitor
		McDermott, a 67-year-old wild-white-haired former psychiatrist from downtown Seattle, was one of only seven members of Congress (including Barney Frank, D-N.Y., Gary Ackerman, D-N.Y., Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., Michael Honda, D-Calif., Robert Scott, D-Va., and Fortney Stark, D-Calif.) to vote against a 2002 House resolution reaffirming "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance.
		McDermott's Republican opponent in the 2004 election is Carol Cassady, a reflection of the better side of Seattle.
		Thus, I don't expect Jim McDermott to lose his seat in Congress this election year, but I do expect Americans to understand he is a full-throated, maniacal traitor against God and country.
