Attacked in Congress

Whoa! Attacked in Congress video

A big hearty cheer to all of you who made war profiteering a potent and important issue on the national stage. As a result, I was called to testify (along with Jeremy Scahill, author of the brilliant BLACKWATER book) to the House Appropriations Committee and explain the breadth and extent of the profiteering. And they listened, they asked questions, and they discussed how to fix this national tragedy. Imagine, the film all of you helped make and you distributed, was now the subject of serious legislative focus on how to fix the problem at hand.

However, despite the hundreds of thousands who have seen the film around the country, despite the letters, phone calls and pleas from Americans and soldiers of every political persuasion, somehow despite all this, Rep. Kingston was asleep at the wheel. And so he unleashed an old-fashioned, inept, partisan attack.

His intended knock out blow? That the film was an exercise in profiteering!! Ha. He was literally speechless when I explained that 3,000 of you contributed your hard-earned dollars to make the film. That 3,000 of you were figuratively with me in testifying. That 3,000 of you were the true patriots.

But we won't be silenced. Not for a minute.

WATCH THIS VIDEO! Kingston refuses to believe that Greenwald isn't raking in the bucks for making Iraq For Sale. He really looks like an idiot.

2. Oops Sorry I searched the wrong forum

I forwarded this to my hubby and then got involved in reading something else.

All of a sudden, I hear from the next room my husband scream "ASSHOLE!!"

So I go in there not really wanting to know what he was pissed off about. (Sometimes it is best to just leave him alone to rant - LOL) But my curiosity got the best of me.

He was screaming about "that asshole congressman!"

Then he asked me if I had this movie, he wants to see it. This is significant since hubby usually is not very interested in such matters.

If my DH is waking up, so is the rest of the country. And that would be a good thing :)

Kingston is a pompous, narrow minded idiot. I can't stand him.
