I read this and right after I got done dunking my head in the sink to cool off my brain, I sat down and reread it. It makes me no happier on second reading.
In laying out areas of potential inquiry, the Democrats were generally polite and, with few exceptions, largely devoid of passion.
WTF will it take to get a fire lit under these assholes? Preznit Pond Scum has poll numbers that are almost historically low for any president, and these people are worried about pissing him off? They ought to be more worried about pissing their base, who is following this on out in blogtopia and on C-Span more than their alleged 'colleagues'. A whole lot more.
Letting Robert get by with the 1600 Crew stonewalling document requests, and him not answering questions makes for some really, really bad precedent. The Senate Democrats have already managed to do a better-than-passing impersonation of a hooker who has lost her looks and is now down to performing nothing but blow-jobs to make enough to score a meal, with their bowing, scraping, fawning and kneeling on demand from the Rovewellian Ministry of Beating the shit out of compliant Democrats.
It's way past time for them to get up off their knees and start acting like the grown-ups they are supposed to be. It's all about Performance and now the spotlight is upon them: Perform or Be Gone. Is that really hard to Understand?

The Dems need guys like you, me, Gord, and Farnsworth up there. Thing is, it's probably easier to keep a snowball frozen in Hell than one of us getting elected.
