Wow.... Some Democrats Just Turned the HoR Into The Mike Malloy Show...

[althecat]

I was listening to Rush Holt in the house about BBV... then immediately after a group of Democrats started bashing Cheney, Halliburton and the Bush Admin over no-bid contracts, kickbacks, back door contracting.... you name it Marcy Kaptur seemed to be one of the leaders...

It went on for over an hour and not a word was spoken by a repuglican....

Large chunks of the above article were read out at one stage... and the speaker had to tell congresscritters that they were not allowed to allege corruption and/or incompetence on the heads of the president or his vice.... though they were allowed to say so about the Bush Administration... and they were allowed to call it that :)

I do beleive that at least some members of the Democratic party have some spine.

1. I think you're watching the "Iraq Watch" on CSPAN

They are a group of Democrats in the House who are on every Wednesday night.

3. So this is a regular gig... I wondered if that was the case....

They are kinda good... I think I will tune in next wednesday...

2. Names Althecat, Names!

Do you remember which Democrats? This is becoming increasingly important to me... I already know who has spoken up so far but like to keep track of who is "better late than never"- actually what I want to keep track of are the M-F's who still haven't uttered a word.

Thanks

6. Sorry not sure... I was listening not watching... so I couldn't see names.

4. Are you

Also one of the unfortunate to call yourself under the juristiction of the 11th District of NJ--doomed to Rush Holt?

5. I saw it, it was a publicity gig, but still great.

She put Cheney's ties to Helliburton on the record. Even mentioned that he denied it on public TV. Said you had to be a fool or unable to read to believe him.
