I disagree. There is some value to it coming out now. I mean, when the sexual abuse allegations came out about Schwarzenegger just before the recall election some saw it as a big deal, but AS defused it by saying he would commission an independent investigation after the election (which he then refused to do after he won). By focusing on this now they avoid the possibility that the admin could stall until after the facts would do no good. I mean, we've already seen that Bush's pledge that he would release "all the docs" has turned into "we won't open up his files to general inspection, but here is a new document we found which seems to support our point."
Again, I reiterate that as the info stands now this doesn't seem like a good use of Dem airtime. However, I reserve the right to get all shrill and sanctimonious should additional facts come to light...
