HEARING WATCHERS Is anyone on our side showing good sense and fighting back?

[Wiley50]

Can you provide some details to make me feel a little better about it?

I just can't watch. I'm too upset over it. I'll stroke out.

Do we have any heros in the action?

Thanks

1. The entire hearing has been one huge waste of time.

The witnesses are spouting administration talking points. The senators are not being in grand inquisitors they should be. The time limits are absurd. The whole thing has been a monumental waste of time, but at least it shows that there is no way in hell anyone should let Poulson park their car, much less drive this economy.

Like all Bush's appointments, he's an idiot.

2. Almost all of the Senators' opening statements showed signs of standing up but....

will that overcome the Politics of Fear (of doing nothing before recess and, hence, the election?)

3. There are five official discussion threads in GD you can read through. n/t

5. There's some pretty good commentary there Wiley

We'll try to be as descriptive as possible.

6. I can't read them.

I don't want to wallow through all of the frustrating stuff.

I just wanted to hear a few good spots.

Seriously, I'm too pissed off. I want to shoot someone (almost Agt Mike)

4. I thought it might be that way. It's why I couldn't watch.

Those motherfuckers are just too good at being bad

7. They all seemed to be skeptical but

nobody asked any tough questions. I don't know if the fact that this is happening six weeks before the election is significant.
