6. What a crock. How do you hit you thumb when trying to break a wall?

First, place your thumb against the wall.
Then, try to hit the wall right next to your thumb.

Simple enough. This is a real crock, or she is really dumb!!

Or, her talking points writer has no idea what a hammer even looks like!

How can anyone believe such nonsense.
Trying to break a wall is not like holding a nail.
You do not put your thumb on the wall. Geeeezzz!

This is a stupidity test, right?

Who writes this stuff? And, how do they read it with a straight face?

[Clyde_dubyaD40]

13. Kind of a spat? WTF does that mean?

[L. Coyote]

14. Disrupter John Mica (R-FL) is creating a great oppo political ad!

Make a motion in committee to have a Republican resign. Office of Special Counsel had the report, not the Committee.

The Office of the Special Counsel is in the White House. Look there for the leaks, dumbo!

[L. Coyote]

15. Rep. John Mica (R-FL) now berating Scott Block, Repub Special Counsel

It ain't Ruth's Chris Steakhouse...

That's Ms. Doan's ass in the frying pan.

[L. Coyote]

21. Davis: "You're an African-American Republican, so you have a big bullseye on you."

What a crock. Where is the substance?

[L. Coyote]

18. Rep. Cummins has an e-mail that evidences Hatch Act violation by her husband!!

And the e-mail also catches her in a lie?

"I had not had a Hatch Act briefing," said Doan.

Cummins: Leans towards, "not pure truthfulness"

[sabra]

19. email

[quiet.american]

20. Good Lord -- tag team Doan and Davis sing the praises of how great GOP is for African-Americans?!!

GOOD LORD! I've only set eyes on this woman for fifteen minutes and already I find her utterly despicable.

[in_cog_ni_to]

22. Dan Burton, SOB,......... Clinton, Clinton, Clinton....Forcryingoutloud! Does he EVER think

about ANYTHING other other Clinton? He's truly mentally ill!

[Grandrose]

What a pathetic diatribe, had to change the channel to save my television from destruction!
That man is evil incarnate and will be screaming Clinton's name on his deathbed!!!!!
:argh: :grr: :banghead:

[L. Coyote]

23. Rep. Dan Burton is baiting Waxman. What a BOZO

"There is no doubt the corruption was throughout the entire White House" is really historical revision.

And Waxman was wise to not take the BS bait.

[L. Coyote]

24. GSA oversees $66 billion of procurement annually

Time to investigate the no-bid contracts. Are they political?

GSA oversees $66 billion of procurement annually and contributes to the management of about $500 billion in U.S. Federal property, mostly divided among 8,000 owned and leased buildings and a 130,000 vehicle motor pool. Among the real estate assets the GSA manages is the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center, the largest U.S. Federal building after The Pentagon.

56. GSA and DOAN: Controversy regarding FRAUD and cutting the Inspector General budget

Controversy - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Services_Administration#Controversy

* On December 2006, Lurita Doan proposed cutting the budget of GSA’s Office of the Inspector General for reviewing government contracts for fraud and waste (previous IG audits have allowed the agency to recover billions of dollars of fraudulant contracts). Doan has criticized GSA Inspector General Brian D. Miller for not supporting her effort to implement simpler procedures for contractors. Some IG budget officials, however, viewed IG "streamlining efforts" as problematic. John C. Lebo, formerly with the GSA IG staff, described the changes as troubling and unprecedented. "The Administrator's Office wants to change the IG's overall approach from independently rooting out crime, fraud and abuse, to one in which the OIG is a team player working with GSA."<1>

[L. Coyote]

25. Now comes ISSA, friend of felonious convict Randy Cunningham, who

released the false information on Carol Lam when Lam was investigating Republican corruption.

[Gman]

26. Mr. Issa, what the hell does any of her contributions have to do

with the price of tea in China?

[L. Coyote]

27. At least he can read better than some Rs. Who writes this theatre?

[Gman]

28. Tierney's not content to let her sizzle and fry...

Tierney's friggin' broilin' her.

[Gman]

30. Tom Davis says to CSPAN viewers and for the transcript..

who you gonna believe? What you just heard or what we would like you to think is going on.

[L. Coyote]

31. Rep. MICA: It is a minority, woman, Republican witch hunt.

It is interesting to see how the Rs are demeaning Democracy. They have no respect. Interjecting race is baiting and simply improper.

[L. Coyote]

32. Watson nails it and calls out the Rs racist and gender smoke screens.

[Lint Head]

33. Christopher Shays is a stupid prick.

[L. Coyote]

35. He thinks she is "a beautiful woman" Dude, that's inappropriate and crass.

[in_cog_ni_to]

36. Ditto that! n/t

[L. Coyote]

34. The Rs are sure on the defensive. No substance, all whining. Waaaaaa

[brook]

39. The R's

aren't so much asking questions as they are feeding her evasions. That and listing all the more important issues that need investigating. Guess they blew all their investigative energy on Clinton 'cause they haven't done squat all in the past 6-7 years as a majority. Smarmy ass clowns.

[L. Coyote]

37. Who is the guy passing her notes, sitting behind her on her left?

[Sydnie]

38. Isn't that her attorney?

I saw that note passed this morning. I thik she refers to her attorney at one point, doesn't she?

[L. Coyote]

Issa knows "small" business people. Yeah, like Wilkes and Foggo?

[Sydnie]

57. Yep, it's her attorney

Braley just made it part of the record that she is getting notes from her attorney.

[kma3346]

40. That woman is horrid

And it sure seems that the Republican questioners are just killing time yakking about anything and everything except the topic at hand. What MORONS!!

:crazy:

[brook]

41. Was that an oil spill on my TV or

Issa?

[L. Coyote]

43. Now, now, easy on the poor man's poor hair!! Hee heeee

:rofl:

[L. Coyote]

42. Doan is taking up all the time of the Dems to the extent possible = evasive.

[L. Coyote]

44. GREAT NEWS: The PowerPoint is still under investigation. ROVE??

[brook]

46. This is the BEST part!

The hortatory subjunctive! Sarbannes is in good form!

[L. Coyote]

45. ISSA wishes he really knew what is ingenuous.

Republicans meeting as Republicans is no excuse for violating the law.

[quiet.american]

47. Off-topic -- I vote Sarbanes for Best Hair in Committee! n/t

[brook]

48. Cute -and smart. n/t

[quiet.american]

51. This woman would meet him for a drink. :) n/t

[L. Coyote]

50. Great intellect too! And, nice suit, if you like suits. Bad tie.

[quiet.american]

54. I was so into the hair I didn't see the tie. n/t

[L. Coyote]

49. Rep. Sarbanes Your "lack of humility and contrition ... is breathtaking"

Have to agreed, not to mention the evasion. Calling her out on her attitude is appropriate, given her responses and disrespect for the process.

And she shows her disrespect as he ends his questions, affirming his contention. almost yelling, "This is a leap of logic." She needs the break.

[brook]

53. He doesn't see her as

a "wallflower" at a meeting. :rofl:

[quiet.american]

52. Whoa -- what was that gesture she did! n/t

[L. Coyote]

55. Waxman getting to the lies. She remembered the cookies! Past and present tense

Now we are getting to the prosecution of the facts.

"You did tell us under oath that you didn't remember, and then you told the Special Counsel you did remember..."

[L. Coyote]

58. Waxman says, "RESIGN"

[L. Coyote]
