Lieberman, by way of introduction, opens up the hearing on terror.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

What a buffoon, self-satisfied, and arrogant.
9-11 9-11 9-11 9-11


on C-Span 1 right now.

1. Thank you.

I just turned to it. I appreciate you bringing it to our attention!

[ChairmanAgnostic]

2. oh dear. Sen Collins follows up with her own shaky voice over.

with these two doing the intro, I think I need a bucket, a la meaning of life.

[H2O Man]

3. She is not

the very definition of an inspirational speaker, is she?

[ChairmanAgnostic]

4. chertoff now reciting the list of successes

by Homeland Scrutiny.

the shoe bomber.
and the british police work on disrupting a group of wannabees.

Funny, he did not mention the Liberty 7. He did not mention any other "successes" .

Overall, his message is Be afraid. Be very afraid.

5. putting on my hip boots, the shit will be getting deeper as the day goes on.

[spanone]

6. boy, they love that word 'ROBUST' don't they?

[H2O Man]

7. Watching this

convinces me that the ONLY reason the world will not come to an abrupt halt this afternoon is because of the thanksless work of heroes such as President Cheney. It is hard to counter that old "September 10th" thinking that is so much part of the democratic party.

[spanone]

9. Is lieberman chairing this commitee? This is a White House infomercial.

[H2O Man]

11. It really is.

While I fully recognize that the topic is serious, the hearing is simply an informercial. You nailed that one.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

16. they tested that word, and it has the right flavor.

then again, they normally test everything. I used to hate Bill Clinton for leading by poll data at times, yet, he also had the balls to stand up and do what was right. These guys manufacture every soundbite, every nuance, everything, and to hell with the truth.

[H2O Man]

8. September 10th thinking.

September 10th thinking.
September 10th thinking.

[spanone]

10. the catch phrase of the week i suppose.

[spanone]

12. this guy could lull the dead to sleep.

[H2O Man]

14. I turned it

at the moment you posted that. It was becoming painful to watch.

[BlooInBloo]

13. Bravo Connecticut electorate, BRA-fucking-VO.

[spanone]

15. are there any democrats in this committee???

[spanone]

17. this is the most boring, uninformative stew of bullshit they've cooked up in a while.

every terrorist cliche in the book

18. moving to the house floor...too fucking boring for Cspan

[ChairmanAgnostic]

19. one of the first of many dog/pony shows.

Imagine how their staffers feel, knowing that nothing will happen, because neither the White House nor Liebs will allow it to happen.
