Congress goes on their little holiday weekend, completely ignoring that they are letting the FISA amendments lapse, completely abdicating their responsibility to America, after giving themselves six months to deal with the issue, then extending their time another 2 weeks and STILL ended up letting Americas safety protections lapse and what did they waste their time with instead?
Steroid hearings against Roger Clemens which NOW, the Chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, Henry Waxman, Democrap (yes that spelling is on purpose!) of course, regrets?????
“I think Clemens and McNamee both came out quite sullied, and I didn’t think it was a hearing that needed to be held in order to get the facts out about the Mitchell report,” Waxman said.
“I’m sorry we had the hearing. I regret that we had the hearing. And the only reason we had the hearing was because Roger Clemens and his lawyers insisted on it.”
The decision to hold the hearing had been made in early January, as Clemens was publicly challenging the veracity of the Mitchell report. But Waxman said he and Tom Davis of Virginia, the ranking Republican and former chairman of the committee, decided by last Friday that they did not need to conduct the hearing as scheduled because depositions taken last week from Clemens, McNamee, Andy Pettitte and others were thorough, as was the committee staff’s own investigation, and that a hearing would not provide a great deal more insight.
But wait, it gets better. Not only are the Democraps incompetent and proving over and over again why they are known as weak on National Security, as well as holding the lowest approval ratings in the history of congressional approval polling, but as point out by Captain Ed, Waxman is misrepresenting, or lets call it what it is, LYING, about the reason the hearings were held!!!
That's news to Clemens and his attorney. Rusty Hardin had argued to have the entire matter dropped, wondering -- rightly -- why Congress needed to investigate Roger Clemens in the first place. They had asked Waxman to drop the matter weeks ago, but Waxman insisted on taking depositions in the case. Hardin explained that he wanted the hearings so that the House Oversight Committee couldn't take the testimony out of context for their final report.
So, while FISA reform legislation that passed with a 2-1 bipartisan majority in the Senate couldn't get addressed by Democratic leadership, Waxman instead investigated the ass of Roger Clemens. It puts "oversight" in a whole new context, doesn't it?
Thats it... the Democrats are hereby renamed DEMOCRAPS, because they are full of it in more than one way.
Incompetent, incapable and and simply worthless that are proving they cannot run Congress in a responsible manner.
