Links have been updated to work

[MiniMe]

1. OK, I love Sarbanes

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

15. Sarbane definitely rocks! He's like a Sen. Whitehouse in the House! eom

[dogday]

2. Sarbanes said I don't see you being a wallflower

at these meeting... Me either.....

[blogslut]

3. kickers

Note Lurita Doan's "tell"

She motions with her hands...a lot when she's lying.

[displacedtexan]

4. She's mad now.

"This is a leap in logic!"

(Hands up in frustration)

"A leap in logic!"

LOL!

[Eurobabe]

5. Lurita throws a hissy fit on Sarbannes, this is a LEAP in LOGIC

hey YOU NEEDARITA, watch that mike, IT's ON!!!

[MiniMe]

13. I missed what Sarbanes said that elicited that responsse

Though I certainly did hear it, I was creating the thread. Can you help?

[Eurobabe]

17. I think he was speaking about her manipulation of her testimony

one minute she remembers things and the next she forgets, and then something else, perhaps the OSC? Anyone can clarify further?

[blogslut]

18. I can't

I was too busy swooning after Sarbane's grammar lesson. :)

[dogday]

21. I wasn't thinking about grammar at all

I was day dreaming and missed it completely....

[dogday]

6. Freaking thugs arguing about taking a break

they will argue about anything.....

[whistle]

7. Is she up testifying again and if yes can she be held in contempt of Congress

...for totally lying?

[blogslut]

8. Ten Minute Break

I want more Sarbanes.

[dogday]

11. Me Too...............

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

9. I find her use of language a bit disconcerting. She says "stuff", "you guys"

(referring to the committee). Is this how Vassar grads talk in public these days?

[Oilwellian]

27. No, it's how...

a mob moll would talk. :D

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

38. lol! Good reply!!!!!!

:applause: :hi:

[WinkyDink]

48. Just more of the disrespect.

[Canuckistanian]

148. Or "No way!"

I've heard her use that a few times.

[Norquist Nemesis]

10. She was trying to be like Condi! LOL!

How DARE you insult my integrity! How dare you, Sir!

:rofl:

[napi21]

16. If that's what she was trying to do she failed! Even Condi isn't THAT

arrogant!

[annabanana]

12. Davis' body language during the break. ... all pissy & pissed off

[aquart]

20. Good. Pity she has a chance to calm down.

[napi21]

14. Look at Davis and Watson arguing! Davis with that damn

accusatory finger pointing!! I wonder what THAT'S all about?

[dogday]

19. How could anyone run the OSC with that

kind of memory? You have to be one sharp cookie and remember everything.... Something just don't smell right....

[blogslut]

22. Back from break!

- ish

C-SPAN is a tease

[blogslut]

23. really back now

[blogslut]

26. Argghhh

Really really back now

[Skidmore]

24. I can't get CSPAN3 to run on my computer now.

Where is that other live hearing site for government committees. Darn! I have some time now to watch something like this and I can't get it to work.

[Hepburn]

25. Any other links?

I can get on CSpan3, but my pal who I am IM'ing with cannot get on. Can anyone post another source or other links?

Thanks! :hi:

[blogslut]

28. House oversight committee site

Has a listen Live link at the top:

http://oversight.house.gov/

[Hepburn]

29. Thanks! n/t

[Hepburn]

52. Thanks! n/t

[MiniMe]

30. go to the House.gov website

If you go to committees and pick the oversight committee, there should be a link there.

[whistle]

31. Eleanor Norton is now questioning Lurita Doan, and Doan's first request

...is to ask her to speak more clearly :wtf:

[whistle]

34. Doan's face is looking puffy

[whistle]

43. Tom Davis is throwing pillows at Doan's comment about the OSE's report

...now he's just blabbing

[MiniMe]

35. Norton - If you would listen to my questions you wouldn't answer the wrong question

Great response!

[IChing]

32. OK Dem. Norton is up saying findings and conclusions have been made

by independent investigations do you accept the findings?

It is a flawed report says weasel woman

[ShortnFiery]

37. Excellent of Norton, "If you would listen to my questions you would not be answering another ...

question!" She's beautiful!!! Go Norton! :-)

[IChing]

41. I am agast with this bitch....sorry women...but she is a bitch.

and ISSA is a bastard.

[ShortnFiery]

51. Nah, methinks ISSA is a ...

prick! :blush: Sorry guys, but he is. ;)

[IChing]

54. yep...bastard prick

[Greeby]

33. Norton bringin an ass-whuppin

:popcorn:

[dogday]

36. Time to go to the woodshed

she is smacking her down....

[Eurobabe]

39. Doan is another Bush-born/bred EGO-FUCKING-MANIAC

She deserves what she has coming to her.

[ShortnFiery]

40. Doan is not helping herself by getting huffy!

[dogday]

42. Davis to the rescue a little too late

the cat is out of the bag.....

[IChing]

44. Waxman will go over conflicting statements

point one by one.

[ShortnFiery]

47. He's calm and methodical - exactly the type of person we need questioning Brunhilda now.

:evilgrin:

[IChing]

50. He's saying you changed what you testified under oath and lied

point by point

[MiniMe]

45. Waxman taking over

Yielded himself 5 minutes

[whistle]

46. Waxman take's 5 minutes to stop the crap and get to the truth

[whistle]

49. He is getting Doan to admit to her arrogance and defiance calling her on her shit

[Greeby]

53. I've heard enough, charge her with perjury and contempt of congress nt

[IChing]

55. I hope they do soon and end this crap n/t

[whistle]

56. Waxman is nailing her on her lies and inconsistencies

[whistle]

61. Tom Davis again deflecting the dialog

[ShortnFiery]

65. Ugh. I think I saw Tom Davis (R) working at our local used car sales lot?

"Smarmy" is an understatement. :puke:

[MiniMe]

57. Damn, Waxman is making her head spin

You said this, then you said that. You remembered this when you talked to OSC, but not when you talked to us.

[ShortnFiery]

58. He's good, real good.

;)

[bdamomma]

149. oversight, something that has lacking for many years

and those damn repigs don't want it at all, they should be arrested.

[dogday]

59. Waxman smacking her down

on her statements and lies....

[MiniMe]

60. Lurita, if you just told the truth, you wouldn't be having the problem

keeping your stories straight.

[napi21]

66. I thought that too. If there is ONLY ONE truth, why are you always talking

about "context"?

[dogday]

62. Isn't it her job to know what memos come out

My job, we remember memos and certain directions from administration.. They became part of policy, as with her, and she should know....

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

63. AAAAAARGGGGGGHHHHH I Wish I Was Home Watchin This. Sounds Like It's Gettin Good!!!

What time is the hearing over?

[whistle]

68. As soon as Davis shuts up it will get back on track, he is trying to deflect

[blogslut]

64. That's it Tom

Attack the OSC report. You're good German.

[ShortnFiery]

69. Frolingh, you need not subject yourself to this travesty ... Horrible! n/t

[IChing]

73. "It wrong that names come out when we are investigated"

weasel woman

[earthboundmisfit]

67. DavASS answering FOR her the questions he ASKING

"You never did that, did you?"
"Nothing like that ever happened did it?
"You've never said anything like that, have you?"
AARRRGH on and on....

[ShortnFiery]

71. Awe, you are sincere ... let me send you sweet wet republican kisses? n/t

[blogslut]

70. Doan feels bad

Don't treat my employees mean. Sarbanes is a bad man!

[whistle]

72. Chris Shays just said if you are a member of congress you are a crook!

:wtf:

[whistle]

Now he is an apologist for Doan

[blogslut]

74. Mr. Shays is twit

I am so tired of these guys.

[ShortnFiery]

75. I don't see any subordinate correcting Ms. "Know-It-All". Correct Doan? No way to keep your a** nt

[ShortnFiery]

82. Isn't Doan of Hispanic Ancestry? Shays is now saying that African Americans are treated differently

by Congress. :wtf: is that about?

[Eurobabe]

81. You must take your clothes off and say you have sinned 3 times if you are the CLENIS!!

FUCK YOU Shays, you are an ass.

[Joe Chi Minh]

83. Oooooh. That "I want to thank you for your service" is so reminiscent of

them when they're wearing their Iraq chicken-hawk hats on...

Self-service is all they know or want to.

[whistle]

76. Time for whistle blowers from Doan's department

[IChing]

84. This is a bunch of crap the special council has spoken

she needs to be charged.

[orleans]

77. "you don't need to rip your clothes and cry i have sinned, i have sinned

i have sinned!"

yuck. what a dick.

[HCE SuiGeneris]

78. Shay's kneepads have expired!

[blogslut]

79. And Shays closes with the race card

What a jerk

[Norquist Nemesis]

99. Honestly, if it weren't for Shays (and others) I'd never have guessed

It's another over the top BS charge

[whistle]

80. Doan is going down!

[ShortnFiery]

87. OMG she MET with Republican Members so they could get their stories straight?

That's so interesting? Aye? No partisan bias by Doan?

[whistle]

85. She is such a liar

[spooky3]

91. go Rep. Braley!

no nonsense!!!

[dogday]

86. Republicans met with her before the hearing

today....

[dogday]

88. Do you find this hearing amusing?

[Gregorian]

89. This woman embodies everything I hate about repubs. Sneaky.

Doan is highly intelligent, and extremely disgusting.

Sneaky.

[MiniMe]

90. Damn, was asked if she met with Repubs before this hearing

Doan says yes, Davis and some others.

[sabra]

92. Rep Braley is squashing all !

[IChing]

95. She violated the Hatch Act

Justice decisions mean nothing .....the court found you guilty..them...... it doesn't count.

[goclark]

93. Just heard the word "African American"

This sister is so embarrassed that she is a sister.

The Rethug is trying to play the Race card.

He is trying to say that they are picking on her because she is an African American Republican.


LOL ~

[HCE SuiGeneris]

94. don't forget woman too... we Dem's are always attacking these people

[ShortnFiery]

98. Her tone and enunciation are Ultra-Condescending. Oh, she deserves to fall - HARD! n/t

[WinkyDink]

96. She is nasty! "I don't know nothin' 'bout birthin' no Hatch Act!"

[Gregorian]

She makes my blood boil!

I'm am finding myself saying CNUT, over and over.

The very embodiment of why America is the disaster it is today.

[HCE SuiGeneris]

124. no remorse at all, just defiance and scorn for everyone

it is so F'd up...

[Eurobabe]

97. Being a smart ass to Braley, unbelievable!!!

[HCE SuiGeneris]

100. She is laughing again.... grrrrrrrr

[ShortnFiery]

106. Although she met this AM to compare notes with ONLY republican representatives ... No Partisan Bias?

:wow: :crazy: :wow:

No personal responsiblity - as sick as Bush in her Arrogance. :scared:

[Eurobabe]

101. Doan never went to Vassar, she went to Bush/Gonzo School of Playing Dumb

[nini]

102. I got the Hatch Act warning when I worked at the Post Office

I understood it.. amazing how these higher ups don't seem to know if they've violated it or not :eyes:

[Gregorian]

105. One word- Pardons.

I want pardons removed from the Constitution. Maybe I don't understand them fully, but they've caused more repetitions of trouble than they're worth.

[bigmonkey]

146. Make pardons only apply to convicted criminals.

Just a clarification from the courts along these lines would clear up a lot of this crap. Trials would bring out the truth, like the reconciliation hearings in South Africa. These crooks are not only afraid of jail time, they're afraid of being found guilty. Pardons applying only to convicted criminals is the common-sense interpretation. This pre-emptive pardon stuff stems from Ford's pardon of Nixon, as far as I can tell, and it's killing the rule of law.

[blondeatlast]

114. Doesn't it make you crazy (former public servant here as well).

It is hardly rocket science.

[nini]

121. exactly.. I took it seriously too

but then I'm not a power hungry lying sack of crap either :-)

[blondeatlast]

144. My understanding of it was simple--when in doubt, say no.

With this bunch it's: "When in doubt, hope you don't get caught and have a good lawyer on speed dial."

[blogslut]

103. Waxman summing up Doan's glorious first year

Sweet

[whistle]

104. Does Doan want to continue in her job? Apparently she does but on her terms only

[whistle]

107. Lurita remains smug and defiant

[WinkyDink]

110. She has a permanent sneer. She knows she's in like Flynn with Bush.

[IChing]

113. They don't care if they broke the law or the rule of law

it is so obvious.

[rudy23]

151. What law? Gonzales' law? The unimpeachable president's law?

These hearings are a waste of time with no real teeth to back them up. How frustrating.

[Greeby]

108. Waxman calling for her resignation!

:bounce:

[Rosa Luxemburg]

138. GOOD!

[dogday]

Waxman reads off the list of all her lies

and fairy tales...Her lack of contrition.... Calls for resignation....

[dogday]

109. Dupe

[HCE SuiGeneris]

112. calls for her resignation

[orleans]

111. waxman is calling for her to resign! n/t

[ShortnFiery]

116. Yes! We all know she will NOT resign, but good for Waxman.

:applause: :patriot:

[orleans]

115. but it's all up to fuckhead in the white house. n/t

[blogslut]

117. Waxman recommends Ms. Doan resign

Tom Davis says something stupid

[whistle]

118. Davis as expected gives his distorted reThuglican opinion

[whistle]

125. Her ass would be grass except Shrub* makes the final call

[Gregorian]

119. Things are so utterly partisan, I see no end to this game playing.

Until partisan politics is done with, we aren't going to make any progress.

[dogday]

123. Instead of looking at the situation as right or wrong

they make it a partisan issue... They need to look at the wrong doing of the individual, not the politics.... That's rethugs for you....

[Gregorian]

130. But even the judicial system has been politicized.

I should relax in the comfort of knowing that that's what this hearing is about, at least.

[ShortnFiery]

131. True, but could we swap roles with the Republicans.

Using a Peanuts Cartoon analogy: Dammit, let us (Democrats) be "Lucy" for awhile?

Is any other Democrat getting burned-out from playing "Charlie Brown"? ... always thinking that MAYBE next time "Lucy" will play fair and actually tee up that football? :(

[Gregorian]

137. We got that moment in 1992. Woo hoo.

I have to come back to the root of the problem. The intelligence level of the American people. There is where this buck stops.

[Norquist Nemesis]

132. I guess I'm just effing blind

The only partisan politics that I've been seeing for at least the past 15 years is blatantly from the Cons. Time and time again.

It's rare that I see Democrats hitting the Cons with partisan political bullets. So rarely that when it does happen, it's like hope springs eternal.

[Gregorian]

141. We play fairly. I'm proud of that.

The Яepublicans don't. Even though Bush is in office, he lost.

It's easy to burn down a house. One match. And it's nothing to be proud of.

However, you're right about the reality. Iraqis are dying. It's much more than a game.

[HCE SuiGeneris]

120. Tom lauds her... another great employee of Herr Chimpenfuhrer

F U Tom!

[orleans]

122. repuke davis says THANK YOU to doan, & draws different

conclusions than waxman

oh, he's congratulating her on how much money she has saved taxpayers.

well, thank god for doan. right?

[HCE SuiGeneris]

127. had to mute him out as he started his laundry list of what is important yet again

[Joe Chi Minh]

143. As worthy as their gratitude for the armed forces in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Integrity means nothing to them. They're focusing, as always on saving the taxpayers' dollar. That's a closer and no mistake!

[dogday]

126. Davis talking about everything but the Iraq War

don't bring that up.... Let's bring up a million other issues....

[WinkyDink]

128. Is this the Davis Show? Sheesh.

[blogslut]

129. Oh Tom

Keep going...how about a little:
"Why is this horrible war still going on?"

Where's that question?

[orleans]

133. davis: this hearing is vengeance of partisanship n/t

[Moochy]

134. He called Waxman an Abuser

...

[WinkyDink]

135. Projection much, Tom?

[bunny planet]

136. Wow, classic summation muddying of the waters by Davis.

What a crock, and what a shame Waxman didn't get the last word.
Doesn't matter anyway, His Fraudulency King George will never ask Lurita to resign. Can't she be prosecuted for violating the Hatch act???

[Oilwellian]

139. Ding ding ding....

That is THE question of the hour.

[Joe Chi Minh]

140. I wonder if she had a road to Tarsus conversion between the date

when she spoke of retaliating and "not retaliating against anyone", but "seeming" to retaliate to the non-Neocon casual bystander?

That Davis seems worse than she is. What contempt they are bringing the law and the Executive into, with their disparagement of the independent Counsel's findings!

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

142. Yikes! My computer crashed. Is the hearing adjourned???? eom

[whistle]

145. It will be rebroadcast I'm sure

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

147. Thanks. I missed the tail end. eom

[bdamomma]

150. unbelieveable shit happening how many more hearings and lies

can we hear without these people being thrown out of office, they are criminals with the backing of all the repig criminals to back these criminals. Disgusting, absolutely disgusting and * will not do sh$t, these people need to be knocked off their pedestals!!!
