When this Goodling hearing is over, I'm going to do a word count
Comparing the shear number of words used of Dems vs Repubs. I bet it's at LEAST a 1:3 ratio, perhaps even higher. Dems talk too slowly, Repubs talk too fast, and she answers briefly to Rs and verbosely to Dems.

Maybe even a 1:5

1. Rs aren't asking questions
They're making speeches, which is their privilege.

2. A common tactic. She is filibustering with long replies.
That can be managed by the questioner if that is their wish.

3. Except when Conyers makes them allow her to do it
And that's still only half (or 1/4) of the equation

4. Monica is talking a mile a minute!!!! In that babyvoice monotone!
The R's aren't asking her questions at all. They're saying how nice and sweet she is, how wonderful her cheesy law school is, and asking YES/NO questions while at the same time JUSTIFYING her answers...

It's happening right now!!!
