Texas Congressman accuses hearing witnesses of lying to Congress.
Texas Congresscritter Louie Gohmert (POS-TX) accused the witnesses of lying to Congress on Friday at the hearings.

:puke:

I would have objected to that characterization, which in legal terms is slander per se, if I was one of the witnesses. Wish Bugliosi would have objected.

AGGGGHHHH!!! Ignorant thugs!!

1. They just kept saying Republican things.
I watched it all over again, the whole thing, and they're so predictable. How does Mr. Conyers keep from falling asleep while they're going on and on.

4. all they have is the flag and their 9/11 mantra
Because if they even attempted to address the very REAL crimes being discussed they would have exploded.

Republican jackboots cannot grok reality.

3. Louie Gohmert is a Republican goober from East Texas.
He now represents the district that made Charlie Wilson famous.

He's an idiot.

7. Your comment is totally unrelated to mine. Did you get lost?
What a strange post. Nothing in my post could be a basis for your response.

6. Bugliosi brought out a new 'fact' to me, and....
The Repubs were really hostile. Most of the witnesses really just brought out opinions and itemized pretty much what we all thought. After all, this wasn't the actual impeachment proceedings. But the A-hole Repukes were making these noises like it was all bullshit. So when Bugliosi, the well known former LA prosecutor, was asked a question, he used the time to show how Bush deceived congress just before the invasion and the congressional vote. He held up a stack of 'de-classified' documents in which 16 intel agencies submitted opinions for the white house on Iraq'a nuclear wmd, or their attempts at getting them. They used words like 'could, maybe, etc.' to describe their results. They never said it was a fact. However, he then held up a copy of the "White Papers" which was given to congress to help them reach their voting decision. In it, the WMDs were described as 'fact', and was based on the intelligence from those 16 agencies. So that alone would be an impeachable offense, and is documented evidence.

8. There's no shortage of "impeachable offenses".
There is a shortage of "responsibility" and "sense of duty" among our apparently-complicit Democrats in Congress.

After what happened to Bill Clinton, the fact that the criminal bush and his thugs get away with essentially destroying the country with no consequences whatsoever is beyond madddening.

10. He was almost as obnoxious as Pence.
My 2 congressmen are ignorant, moronic douchebags, so I was glad they aren't on that committee.
They have more important things to do, like tell us that guns will save us from all the animals in the zoo.

It's completely unbelievable how fucking far removed from reality those 2 dickheads are.
