9. Barton smirks more than Bush - he slimes Gore in multiple ways
in his remarks and then ends with some superficial question and has the outrageous gall to expect Gore to simply address this superficial question (would the new CAFE standards by 35 or 45 mpg) and let the slime stand unchallenged!

10. Al can handle these guys
Barton is a jerk. Al's right -- we need to do something NOW!

I love his "Whoever is elected president in 2008..." You're such a tease, Al. We know it's going to be you!

11. Did Gore submit his tesitmony ahead of time?
You are supposed to, notionally 48 hours in advance. It give the staffers a chance to prep the Senators/Reps. Saw a complaint that he was refusing to and the comittees were going along with it.

Its a good tactic. Without the prep they have to work it out in real time...much harder.

12. Yes, but he (as is common at hearings) "expanded" on them.
And he requested and received permission of the chair to submit those expanded comments for the record.
