Picking on the witnesses, not on the content: a grammar-school tactic by our members of Congress.

I haven't seen so much of this shit since fourth or fifth grade in grammar school: picking on what a kid looks like, or how he dresses, or where he lives, or some other shit instead of taking issue with something specific he/she said. Thankfully, most of us had outgrown that by the sixth grade.

And yet here we are, watching our so-called leaders at the top level of government indulging in this tactic. Seems they never grew out of it.

IMHO, it's f*ing disgusting.
