Digby: Election? What Election?

Yesterday, Pat Leahy said this on "This Week":

Leahy: I don't know what this Mr Fielding's talking about. I've never met him, I understand he's a very nice man. And I'm not sure who he's negotiating with on capitol hill. The power on putting on the agendas and putting on subpoenas is mine and that will be on Thursday of this week when they'll be voted on. They'll be one for Karl Rove and on for Harriet Miers and one for her deputy.
