i want to get to chuck grassley's tweet. he referred to the president as stupid.eally surprised by senator grassley's tweet. he is sort of sweet and charming guy. i think this absolutely breaks the level of decorum that we expect from senators. just as i believe that president obama should not be attacking mitt romney with tweets under his own name. this is something his campaign can do. it is unpresidential. i think people on both sides of the aisle are guilty of cut-throat politics that are going too far over the line these days. >> but it also distracts, if there is a legitimate criticism here, you distract from it. you've got david axelrod responding. he said i think a 6-year-old hijacked your account just to embarrass you. smackdown, i would say. nonetheless, steve, i heard a lot of this from conservatives yesterday on the radio as well as on television who threw up the fact that here you have this professor who should know the constitution and how dare the president who has this academic background come out against the supreme court. when we know that conser

that is all good for chuck grassley. they have oversight over the secret service. he says it doesn't mean what happened in the in colombia and it remains necessary to hold the agents accountable following a complete investigation. part of that independent investigation grassley says looking into whether any white house staffers were involved. white house says in-house counsel looked into it and found no wrongdoing. but grassley says an outsider needs to do the investigating. he sent a letter with 14 questions and asked for a white house response by this past thursday night. he said he never got an answer. >> jamie: i want to welcome you back of maternity leave. >>> thank you julie. good to be back on your show. >> julie: being a mom is great. thanks so much. >> eric: and tense standoff in washington state has come to an end and they have found a body inside the heavily fortified bunker they had surrounded. it does pear to be peter keller. they have been looking for him since last sunday, that is when they found the bodies of his wife and daughter in their home. he
