3. Pelosi didn't assign any members to the committee
I think it's a mistake. Being spoiled brats really don't help us very much. Apparently, some Democrats plan to show up anyway.

6. I wonder if he'll blab on and on about Bush's drinking problem

And now I will leave you to guess where this bit of gossip came from, because I promised not to tell. But one of the above-mentioned folks called me this afternoon to say that according to sources within the Enquirer itself, the source for Bush's drinking story is -- an incredibly pissed-off, recently scapegoated head of a federal agency who thinks that BushCo. done him wrong.

16. it seems to be getting some traction
maybe on of the late night comics might pick it up and joke about it,
that might send it into the stratosphere even if a chuck of the populace thinks it's bullshit gossip

7. Brown: Disasters always occur in local communities.
Well, there you go. That's why they hired him--for his intelligence. :sarcasm:

11. He's humble, bitter, whiney, and self-congratulatory, all at once.
This is an abortion on live TV. I hope the media rip off his head and shit down his neck.
