Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice testifies before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in Washington on Thursday.

Jan. 12, 2007 | WASHINGTON -- It's not every day that the Senate finds itself enjoying the taunts of a war protester screaming bloody murder as he is dragged from the room. "Lies! It's all lies!" bellowed the man, as the Capitol Police ejected him from a meeting of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Thursday. "Stop lying! Stop lying! Stop the war!"

After the yells had abated, committee chairman Joseph Biden, a Delaware Democrat who wants to be president, turned to Chuck Hagel, a Nebraska Republican who wants to be president. "He wasn't referring to you," Biden joked.

Hagel didn't miss a beat. "He's not from Nebraska, Mr. Chairman. He took the train over from Delaware, that fella did." Laughter filled the room. Up to that point, no one had been having any fun, not the senators, not the press, and definitely not Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, who had the unenviable job of sitting alone before a panel of angry politicians and trying to defend President Bush's new plan for victory in Iraq. "It was a little heavy," Hagel said a moment later, about the mood in the room. "We needed a break."

But the levity did not last. The senators went right back to attacking Rice, the only proxy they had handy for an unpopular president and his unpopular plan. "I have to say, Madam Secretary, that I think this speech given last night by this president represents the most dangerous foreign policy blunder in this country since Vietnam," announced Hagel, who earned two Purple Hearts as an infantryman in that war.

"I've gone along with the president on this, and I bought into his dream," Ohio Sen. George Voinovich added a few minutes later. "At this stage of the game, I don't think it's going to happen." Minnesota's Norm Coleman seemed to agree: "The cost is too high," he said of the plan for more troops. New Hampshire's John Sununu expressed mild disappointment. Added Alaska's Lisa Murkowski: "I'm not convinced, as I look to the plan that the president presented yesterday, that what we are seeing is that much different than what we have been doing in the past."

It would be nice to have it set-up where one after the other interupted like that.

The voice sounds almost like it's the same guy both times. Anyone know if that's the case?
