PREACH, Sir!

(and the accompanying photo says it all: Rep Cummings calling down the righteous wrath on that greasy little weasel Gowdy)

Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD) calling it like he sees it.

This is really beginning to feel like the Army/McCarthy hearings. Biggest backfire imaginable.

i’ve been reading thru the nyt letters and overwhelmingly people are thoroughly disgusted by the republican behavior; and many proclaiming not to have been clinton supporters but are now convinced to vote for her.

Two Huge Thumbs up!

Thank you sir!

Bravo to Rep. Cummings. It is long past that this hearing should be called out for the kangaroo court that it is.

(With apologies to kangaroos everywhere)

These small-minded putzes have proven to the American public how maliciously petty they are. People like Gowdy and Jordan think they’re bulldogs tearing into a piece of meat, but Hillary has shooed them away like the buzzing insect pests they truly are.

i’m not a yell-at-the-screen kinda guy, but cummings’ comments definitely got a “THANK you, congressman” outa me (and i’m a bernie supporter)

Incredible testimony by HRC. She shined and the witch hunt committee showed themselves for who and what they are. If their hope was to prove how competent she is/was, they have succeeded in showing a very presidential HRC

The GOP pulled off an amazing pair of accomplishments today:

they made even more people disgusted with the GOP than they were before
they have turned millions of people who were not Clinton fans into Clinton voters.

Please proceed.

Amen amen

sherlock1 · October 23, 2015, 1:09am

Love me some Elijah Cummings! You, sir, are the best!

Just imagine if we’d gotten this kind of ‘oversight’ after 9/11 or when Bonzo Ronnie Reagan allowed 241 marines to be murdered in Beruit in '82.

Um Hum…That’s right!

I have a feeling Tres Gaudy will be laying low for a day or two after this cluster.

Yep. I believe-- both Nickelback and cockroaches–
today moved ahead of Republicans on the Things I Can’t F^cking Stand List.

A real ‘have you no decency, sir’ moment.

sherlock1 · October 23, 2015, 1:19am

Well…for a final word, let’s turn to the Scarecrow from The Wizard of Oz. His job was to assess the Republican members of the committee…and he’s done a brilliant job:

The End
