From "That's All Right, I Can Hear You" To "La La La La LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA... Henry!! MAKE THEM STOP!!"

Families of Sept. 11 victims fear that the White House will block their effort to get former Sen. Warren Rudman of New Hampshire on the new commission investigating the attacks.

They consider Rudman the only well-qualified Republican sufficiently independent of his party and the White House to do a thorough job on the commission, Stephen Push, a spokesman for the families, said Friday.

``At issue is whether this commission is going to have any teeth,'' he said. ``Having one independent Republican will make all the difference.''

Push said the families believe Rudman is being blocked because of opposition from the White House.

``For some reason the administration has been fighting this (the commission) ... from day one. I assume they're worried about criticism they didn't heed those earlier warnings'' of an attack, he said.
