Biden rocked the house. It is gratifying to see someone grill Ashcroft the way Biden did. Up until now, I thought that he was Milquetoast but damn, he gave it to that piece of shit and I got a real thrill from it.

2. I enjoyed every second of it, our senators are whores but once they figure
out that WE are the majority of Americans, they usually start acting right.

Washington is just as egotistical as Hollywood.

4. Not Dick Durbin
Maybe Biden, I don't know him. But not Durbin, no way.

5. Durbin did it up right...

I was happy he used the phrase "contempt of Congress."

I have some problems with Biden, but he was pretty pointed in his remarks.

I liked Stewart's characterization ... I...I know he was smiling, but ... but he seemed angry.

It's about time our Senators started expressing a little anger and stopped leaving it only to Kennedy and Byrd.

3. unfortunately Sessions then gave Ashcroft a handjob
and essentuialy asked, what other police state tools would you like to impose your will --- safety is more inportant than freedom. (I am paraphrasing)
