2. And think what he's endured for six years.
Yet never gave up.

3. I'd like a whole congress made of his and Conyer's clones
in addition to the originals of course.

5. Waxman & Conyers = Diametrically opposed to Cheney, Bush Sr., W., Jeb, etc.
We definitely need many more of the former, and for the former to prevail over the latter.

6. we are in awe of someone who actually does his job, the one we pay him to do.
He isn't too busy figuring out how to make himself a gazillionaire or
how to keep his party in power for the next century.

12. that's why he scares the shit out of BushCo.
no hidden agenda. He says what he wants to do, and sets out to do it. and they can't deal with that kind of - what do you call it? ah, yes, REALITY.

13. I blame him for not getting any work done yesterday
AND for keeping me up until 2:30 am to see the parts I'd missed. I could not, however, watch the red-haired witch again, but he handled her very well when I watched the first time.

A decent, honorable, and very smart man, he is. He gives me hope.

14. Amen!
I was impressed on how loaded for bear they were yesterday. Great preparation ~~ the chart and the videos! So here's to the committee and their support staff. Job well done!

15. He reminds me of Socrates
He's an ugly little mutt, but when he begins to speak his inner beauty radiates out of his face.

16. I got choked up seeing him up there. He took the time once
to send me a thank you letter for supplying him info on Enron.

He and the late Henry Gonzales (Cong.Texas) are cut from the same cloth
