"In the altered landscape that is Washington, there's a new contender for the title of Scariest Guy in Town. He stands 5 ft. 5, speaks softly and has all the panache of your parents' dentist. But when it comes to putting powerful people on the hot seat, there's no one tougher and more tenacious than veteran California Congressman Henry Waxman. In the Democrats' wilderness years, Waxman fashioned himself as his party's chief inquisitor."

Go Get'em, "Eliott Ness of Democrats"!!!!

1. Waxman RAWKS!

:headbang:

2. Put 'em on the hot seat, give 'em the third degree...watch 'em squirm.

they'll be singin' like canaries! They're old pals will give 'em "the mark of the squealer" when they're done.

Have I been watching too many Cagney movies?;-) :hi:

Go Henry!

3. Payback time!

"And the funny thing is, Waxman can thank the Republicans for the unique set of levers he will hold. Under a rules change they put through in the days when they used the panel to make Bill Clinton's life miserable, the leader of Government Reform is the only chairman who can issue subpoenas without a committee vote. Then Chairman Dan Burton--who famously re-enacted the suicide of Clinton deputy White House counsel Vince Foster by shooting at what he called a "head-like thing" (later widely reported to be a melon) in his backyard--issued 1,089 such unilateral subpoenas in six years."

5. That's around 3/4 subpoenas per week.

GET READY, PUKES!

:evilgrin:

6. The Repudiated Party is ALWAYS short-sighted.

GO HENRY!!!!!

[redqueen]

4. That really makes me smile...

no more of congress looking the other way while the executive branch does whatever what it wants. Finally!

7. The Best Thing About Waxman's Style Of Interrogation Is ....

... the more tenacious he is, and the deeper he digs, the harder the guilty squeeze the evidence of corruption in their hands --and the more of it leaks out!

Imagine a pit bull attached to your behind, and you have an idea of what it is gonna take to get yourself dislodged from that unfortunate situation.

And the price to be paid to be released from the jaws of that pit bull will be high indeed. There must be substantial material revelations disclosed during bouts of truthtelling under oath.

Bring on Waxman, the public awaits ....

8. Nothing scary about him IF you've been behaving yourself! n/t

9. I cannot not wait for oversight hearings chaired by DEMOCRATS....

:popcorn: Sad and pathetic, but I'll probably record them to watch after work.

12. You have a job?

Mr. Waxman is your Congresscritter, AND you have a job??? Gee, you're lucky!!!
:popcorn: I'll watch them while I'm being a bum.

10. That's my rep!

Just one more bright spot of living in my area. Give em hell, Baldy!
