A central figure in the Watergate scandal has died.
Rose Mary Woods a secretary to President Richard Nixon died Sunday at a nursing home in Ohio. Woods always claimed that she was responsible for accidentally erasing 18 1/2 minutes from a Watergate tape made in the Oval Office.
The erased portion is said to be the key that answers the questions, "What did the President know and when did he know it?"

Is 60 Minutes and CBS at it again. 60 Minutes report Lesley Stahl may be preparing a story of the possible legal problems of House Majority Leader Tom DeLay.
Stahl and her crew stormed a news conference DeLay was hosting about Tsunami relief efforts.
Stahl continually tried to disrupt the news conference with questions about Ronnie Earle, the Democratic Travis County District Attorney. Earle is investigating a Texas political action committee with ties to DeLay.
DeLay told Stahl that the press conference was about helping the children in Southeast Asia. Stahl's inappropriate questions continued and DeLay cancelled the press conference.
Stahl repeatedly explained to reporters that she can ask any question she wants anytime and that she was a part of '60 Minutes Sunday' not the show that trashed the President.
Trash is trash Lesley and you and your crew demonstrated that.
DRUDGE REPORT FLASH 2005�
Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-TN) is, generally, a soft-spoken politician. That may be one of the reasons that remarks made by Frist at the beginning of Congress received little notice.
Now, many confirmations and new bills are coming before the Senate that may cause Democrats to wake up and take notice.
A few conservative colleagues are interpreting Frist Jan. 4 remarks to mean that Rule 22, which establishes ground rules for filibusters is not in effect for the new session. There is, however, some uncertainty. So, it remains unclear whether all filibusters could be dispensed with with a mere majority vote or unanimous consent request.
As the confirmation votes come to the floor this week, it will be interesting to see what happens.
