Any one have that link handy?

All I have to say is I look forward to his groveling and ass kissing on Tuesday to save his job. I. Can't. Wait. That little midget of a man. I want to see him fry.

1. Did you see his 23 page statement

which Gonzo plans to get up and read word for word. It is basically an outline of what the DoJ does and what the DoJ goals are for the coming years.

I think Gonzo believes he can put everyone to sleep so they won't ask him any questions.

2. No I didn't bother.

I heard about it. But I have been reading other stories this morning. I say it pissed Shumer off enough though to have him call a news conference.

6. If it goes as most hearings do,

They'll let him read about ten minutes worth and then submit the rest for the record.
Opening statements are, generally, about ninety percent bull crap.

waste the committee's time with a political theater tactic like that. Can one filibuster their own hearing?

7. No time to appear before Congress

yet he found plenty of time to rehearse a litany of lies beforehand. I've heard that plan's not going so well...can't keep all the lies straight :evilgrin:
