His name was Ken Starr, and what he has to do with this is beyond me. Look, I actually saw the hearing. I don't know why I thought that could possibly compare with your preconceptions.

I didn't see the hearing. So what happened to the document? Did they accept it?

I think it was a deliberately planned diversion to make the liberals whine that the evil Republicans were mean to poor little defenseless Elija and ignore that Lerner once again took the 5th.

If everything was as pure as the driven snow over at IRS, why is Lerner taking the 5th again? They should have asked what she's covering up. After all, fearless leader said there was not even a smidgeon of wrongdoing there.

Not as far as I know. Issa had said on a Sunday morning show that he understood she was ready to testify; her attorney said yesterday afternoon that he had no idea where the hell Issa got that idea.

No, Issa didn't. Cummings was ignoring protocol. Cummings did not have a question, he wanted to make a statement. The time for statements had passed but he wanted to grandstand anyway. This is why Issa cut his mike off. But it's wonderful of you to ignore the fact that there is procedure and Cummings failed to follow it.

It's hard to tell when attorneys are involved. I heard on another show that it was set up for her to testify, agreed by her attorney, but supposedly she got upset with comments made on a Sunday talk show and refused. When attorneys are talking, it's tough to know if they're telling the truth.

I'm still in shock over a retired atty. from Jersey, a dem, who was bragging in front of SR how many times he's voted from the dead and laughing about it. I always knew that they voted from the dead in the city proper of STL, but hard to hear from an aquaintance who is one of those upperly mobile types how many times he's cheated in the voting booth.

And then they wonder why the Republicans want photo ID's. The even more sickening part is another guy was saying he did it, also, numerous times. Absolutely sickening.

Its hard for me to not believe Cummings' rage was choreographed to shift the tone. Knowing the MSM would take the ball and run with it. I wonder how much press the actual testimony from this hearing received compared to Cummings' antics.....

Too damn convenient.
