Why do they bother? When will they learn?

Today, on CSpan, they showed some bullshit "hearing" starring that ratfucker, Darryl Issa. It was nothing more than an excuse for a right wing lynch mob to berate some low level State Dept personnel over the killing in Benghazi.

I am sure the country can benefit from an honest fact finding. That was NOT what was going on in today's "hearing." In fact, to call it as hearing is laughable. It was a Telling. Lot's of feigned outrage and faux indignancy punctuated with wagging fingers weilded by pointy headed little men beating up on nameless faces. Bullying is a good word here.

I'm sure lots of great little clips and sound bites for campaign use were generated.

The only Democrat allowed to speak by Chairman Issa was Ranking Member Cummings (my rep).

The only worse example I can think of is the famous Tex Sensenbrenner debacle back in 2005 when he killed the mics, turned the lights out and left, with Jerry Nadler still speaking and CSpan still showing the darkened, silent room.

WHY

DO

DEMOCRATS

BOTHER

TO

SHOW

UP

Just let these fuckers do monologues. The Dems never get the mic, so why bother? The Democrats ought to just rent a hall and do their own thing.

Man, this is dysfunctional government at its worst.

I'll bet a dime to a donut Issa was a bully in elementary school.

Didn't he make promises he would investigate Obama when he got into office? Did he have a hearing and I missed it?

He can't hide his contempt for Obama...doesn't even try.
