DO NOT STAY HOME!
IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT VOTING FOR A PRESIDENT

* The entire House Of Representatives is up for election. *
**30 Republicans are retiring - 25 in the House & 5 in the Senate: leaving their seats up for grabs!**
***Senators are up for reelection - check your state***

Get your ASS to the polls and vote. If you don't even value your rights as a
citizen, don't expect that the government will.

WHAT KIND OF FUCKERY WAS THIS?

In the inimitable lyrics of Amy Winehouse, I ask you: "What kind of fuckery was this??

Even a severly unstable drug addict knows to ask that question. So I ask it of the members of the Judicary sub-committee who, under the guise of investigation, spent over 2 hours haranguing witnesses who had appeared without subpoena to answer questions.

Poor Prof Yoo. He was so harrassed that he actually whined. Can't stand whining but couldn't begin to blame him at that juncture. Addison was great. His contempt for the questioning parties was so clear (and correct) that he ended up tangling with a Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz who (ironically, bears a resemblance to Amy Winehouse) quoted a Vanity Fair article as her source of recrimination. See her ignorant line of questioning:


And what can be said of Delahunt? That he's a vicious, sneering, jeering, ass who didn't belong at the hearing in the first place; that he didn't even read the "torture memo" under scrutiny in that hearing; that he appeared to insinuate himself into the hearing for the sole purpose of harrassing Addison; that he should be censured??? Yes to all those.


And WHAT THE HELL! Where were the Republicans defending the witnesses from this abusive and specious line of questioning? Busy making sure Gitmo detainees didn't get their feelings hurt?

THIS HEARING = FUCKERY. PURE FUCKERY.
