Bwahahaha, Continued

As the GOP has been ramming down our throats for years, elections have consequences.

Seeking information about detention of terrorism suspects, abuse of detainees and government secrecy, Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee are reviving dozens of demands for classified documents that until now have been rebuffed or ignored by the Justice Department and other agencies.

“I expect real answers, or we’ll have testimony under oath until we get them,” Senator Patrick J. Leahy of Vermont, who will head the committee beginning in January, said in an interview this week. “We’re entitled to know these answers, and in many instances we don’t get them because people are hiding their mistakes. And that’s no excuse.”

To the minority party, this is called "doing your job". Perhaps if you had done this, more of you would be coming back to Washington in January.

    Absolutely right. Just don’t forget that when there’s a Democratic President. I notice a distinct lack of curiosity on your part when it comes to corruption with a Democratic face.

    When it happens, I’ll let you know. Unlike the MSM, I’m not led around by the nose by the Republican howlers.

    Really?

    Well, I notice a distinct lack of noticing on your part when it comes to Oliver calling out corruption with a (D) after its name.

    See: Jefferson, William (D)-La.

    Hey, no fair picking on a Republican for having a self-serving lack of long-term memory. It’s like blaming a frog for being ugly.

    Quit badmouthing frogs!

    Oh, and don’t forget his head-shaking at Cynthia McKinney. Not corrupt so much as crazy, but she still counts.
