That Conyers is way past his prime and should retire immediately, and that democracy in the U.S.A. is a hollow fraud. NONE of the questions or questioners indicate any grasp of how deadly serious and dangerous our situation is.

When one side doesn’t play by the rules, DEMOCRACY DOESN’T WORK. The Republicans have broken the system and the Democrats are still in la-la land.

Not nearly enough outrage. They should be pounding the podium and driving Goodling to tears. They should be ANGRY. That they are not is not a reflection of their gentlemanliness, it’s a sign of being goddamned stupid.

Thanks, man. I’m glad someone thought they could have been useful.

Disappointing day..

What, exactly did you think might be ’self incriminating’ in your testimony today?

Woodhall Hollow @ 81

I know! It is amazing how, invariably, the appearance of women are attacked. Pretty equally by men on the right and the left I would say. Either that or hormone “jokes”. And I am really sick of it. (I also hate it when men on the right and the left call men they don’t respect “pussies”–something I have seen in the comments on this blog).

Kind of OT but we are in recess. This is just part of the double standards that we as women have to cope with. Strong women like Hilary get stereotyped as cold, heartless bitches. More feminine women get stereotyped as brainless bimbos. This is just life and life isn’t fair. (of course we should work to over come these stereotypes, don’t get me wrong.)

I am sorry, if there were comments calling her ugly, a) I missed them, b) those peole are blind. That’s not the point, she is all dressed up to play a part.

The Little girl voice, the Barbie hair, the little charm on a gold chain around her neck–are allmeant to make her look harmless, meek and innocent.

Yet by her own tesimony she is John Bolton in drag when it comes to sharp elbowed intre office fighting. Did youlisten to her testimony about thelong time Dpeuty who’s power she stole and then used that person’s righteous resentment of the ursurptation as a way to get her tranferred out.

“oh, we were just 2 Type A women”—-My ass!

She is a quite obviously a very vicious wolf dressed up in Bambi clothing to try to fake her way out of trouble, the same way she seems to have faked her way into her jobs.

Pre-AGAG was anybody at her level in the DOJ that young? That lacking in experience?

Somebody in one of the much earlier threads this AM posted a link to her resume. I see, homecomming COmiitee or some such. What I didn’t see was “law Review”, “Moot Court”, “Mock Trial”, “clerkship”, “law student clinics”.

You know, signs of academic excellence?

The list just dropped out of Karl’s rectum. Seriously, I think she got her law degree out of a Happy Meal box.

“She sinks beneath your wisdom like a stone”

If they would take the time to actually read their Bibles they would find that ALL liars will find their place in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone. Apparently, they are willing to sacrifice their immortal souls to save the skin of their Lord and Savior, George W. Bush! That their consciences could be so seared as to not recognize their “sins” stands as testimony to the radical, brainwashed, brain-dead, zealotry that Bush and his followers adhere to.

Radical ‘Fundamentalist Christianity’ is an amazing thing. Ya see to them, anything that brings about the end times (which many believe God made Dubya the pResident for)is glorifying the will of God. They are practicing a ‘Higher Law’ that is above and beyond something as um, ‘quaint’ as a Constitution written by man.

I saw this posted on a church sign on my way home yesterday:

“Trust God with all your heart, not your own wisdom.”

These folks believe that they are doing God’s will. Nothing else matters, short of their being indicted.

I suspect that Monica Goodling is smarter than she’s coming across. Dick C. and Woodhall Hollow are onto something up @34. Why, this sweet young woman may have crossed the line, but she sure didn’t mean to. Just a zealous young professional, trying so hard to do a great job and please her supervisors. If she did, oh so inadvertently, cross that line into illegality, it was unintentional and, certainly, not directed by anybody else.

That’s her assigned role…eager, ambitious young employee, a bit naieve (although a rising star…interesting contradiction), whose zeal may have clouded her judgement, although she can’t recollect for absolute certain. Anybody else see signs of Barbara Comstock at work in this performance?

Yes, shrewed.
