...just answer the question. What a bunch of cowards. If you’re going to do something awful, at least do it with confidence.

but I am sure his job is to obfuscate and so he did. Looking like a cartoon character doesn't seem to bother him.

Here is Yuri Temirkanov -musical genius- and St Petersburg Phil

Rattle (Berlin) is very demonstrative in his expression of energy. Temirkanov is just the opposite. His energy just comes through from his being.. All the work is done in rehearsal. He can look like a...corporate auditor. LOL! trust me . He's not. The orchestra is on him like glue...!! He hears ALL... :&gt )

How CAN this brainless brain surgeon be in charge of such an important assignment ??? He must have removed his own brain at one time.

They should have forced Carson to answer the damned questions! At least Green reminded Carson that he was the one being questioned. And I loved Green telling Carson "This is your bailiwick, my friend". That was hilarious.

Someone like Carson is perfect for the Kochs and their billionaire friends

Let Carson run around and make all the stupid statements he wants, in the mean time the Koch lobbyist are busy taking a wrecking ball to every program that helps non-billionaire Americans

You can also take that last sentence and replace the name Carson with Trump and it still applies

Trump had nothing to do with those cuts or ANY of the decision process involved

I would bet $100 that Trump doesn't even know what the letters HUD stand for

All they need from Trump is a working hand that can hold a pen, as long as he has working digits and can sign a signature.. he is a useful idiot

that the Rethugs believe the poor can make due with even less. Meanwhile the rich somehow need even more to supposedly help lift the rest of us up.

It's a fraud, a scam, a heartless and greedy ploy -- the complete opposite of "draining the swamp."
