I watched as much of the Investigation and Oversight Committee as I could stand. Now this was the bitching and moaning before the vote.
A couple of points. There was an R rep from UT, I believe it was, who made the point that since Owebama has invoked executive privilege, he must be involved somehow or why invoke EP in the first place?
Also, the outright lying by the Dems is nauseating. They were trying to bring up Mukassey and Fruticis Culpam Est because it really started under his watch. The major differences between Bush's program (a worthy goal) and The Stuttering Clusterfu*k of a Miserable Tyrant's are important but ignored. The Bush Admin worked with the Mexican Government; Owebama's not so much. Also when the tracking devices placed on the guns were found to be faulty, that is they could not track the weapons, the Bush Administration aborted the operation. Owebama's henchmen didn't even try to track the damn guns.
I also truly believe, and I think we all believe this, F&F was all about Gun Control here in the States. The Admin was working on the meme that Mexian gun violence was happening with American guns. Calderon went with it, too. I remember reading about a conversation between the two where Owebama said something to the effect that he's working on gun control, but that they have to do it behind the scenes. The Jug Eared Fu*k knew, and Holder knew the Jug Eared Fu*k knew.
What kept giving me agita I do not need, including literally screaming at the tv, was this nonsense that Holder should be given more time. That last night he met with the two ranking members to work out a deal, but he brought no documents. The Democraps on the committee are using the talking point that Holder wants to cooperate, give him time, even though he's had more than enough time. Also, the committee has something like 8,000 documents out of an estimated 70,000; Holder, himself, estimated 140,000. The Democraps were all praising the unprecedented candor from an attorney general providing the document requests and there was no need for the contempt motion.
I will say there were two 'young guns', the one from UT I mentioned above, and one from OK. They were both very sharp, and gave pointed rejoinders to the crap the Demecraps were spewing. After all, they aren't called Democraps for nothing.
I want to see the sharks circling, just in time for some summertime diversion.
Owebama is so imperious that he makes Nixon look like a kindergarden piker. This precedency truly is unprecedented.
