You REMEMBER what she did to that asshole who was getting gov't contracts and benefits premised upon his "service-connected disability" due to injury during military service? It was an ankle hurt when he was playing football in a military prep school. Flayed and fricasseed the asshat who seemed to barely recognize he was being slaughtered.
(I am borrowing the commentary here from a friend, who wont mind - You rightwingers on the Benghazi committee better be prepared)

(4,219 posts)Sure, I sent her $$$ when she was running and was very happy when she won her seat. But somehow I lost track of her and although I knew she was out there doing the right thing, I had not see her "in action" before...
Watching her just fuck this scumbag up is/was amazing!!!
Watch the clip... This is what we wish all of our "guys" would do...
I LOVE ME SOME TAMMY!!!

(4,219 posts)but you know, your regular life starts to cut into your day and I sorta lost track of my sister...
But, fucking hell, she is the REAL DEAL... She almost had me feeling sorry for that scumbag after the HURT she put on him... Almost, not...quite...
My whole point is that so many of "our guys" are so careful not to bring it... Well Tammy ain't like that..
Again, DU'ers:
WATCH THE CLIP!!!
No Third Way, No Labels, No Balls BS with Tammy!!!
She gave her legs and almost an arm for us, please honor her by helping her fight the good fight, who else are we waiting for to support????

(5,756 posts)I loved how she berated and smacked around this this ass who is probably Republican and far, far worse than any alleged "Welfare Queen."
Even Issa couldn't save him with a comeback after her slice and dice of him.
dballance
(5,756 posts)Of course that won't stop him from getting government contracts.

(5,279 posts)Ms. Duckworth scares Issa. He, on the other hand, simply annoys her. It is somewhat difficult to scare people who survive an RPG attack, by talking loud and making fierce faces. Titanium level courage.
Mr. Cummings crossed a bridge in Selma and walked into history. Granite level commitment.
Ms. Sanchez is openly deep left, an ex-union lawyer and union officer (IBEW) Iron level unionist.
Mr. Schiff considered the entire idea of another Benghazi committee a colossal waste of time and resources. He should be pissed and "grumpy" to wards Issa and his henchmen. Magma level Anger.
Mr. Smith might be our throw away card. He's a third way democrat and votes chickenhawk. Initial estimate: Hickory level Democrat
If he can't steel up to match his fellows, discard him after the first round and draw a stronger card. Maybe Grayson from the bottom of the deck. He's cold steel.
Johnyawl
(3,205 posts)...he's known for trying to work across the aisle, and he is a third way democrat, HOWEVER he is a Clinton loyalist and he will be looking to cover Hillary. The republicans will be shutting off microphones when things heat up, and they may make the mistake of leaving Smith's on.
Half-Century Man
(5,279 posts)Mr. Smith, please make me look shortsighted.

(498 posts)or didn't he squirm. Years ago in a Congressional investigation of organized crime where an agreement had been made not to televise the witness's face the camera was focused on his hands and the squirming and ringing that the hands showed. I think that a well thought out line of questioning that would have forced the witness to admit his dishonor would have been more effective. And, while I think Duckworth will be good on the committee I also think Alan Grayson, who is capable of formulating and carryout effective lines of questioning rather than a good tongue lashing, should also been included on the committee.
