How pathetic is it that the GOP brought in Jordan as their "heavy hitter"?

Moving Jim Jordan to the Intel committee is the GOP's big gambit to have their "best" doing the interrogating during the hearings.


Coach McCarthy actually looked down his bench to find a new QB... and he came up with Jim Jordan.


Jordan couldn't interrogate his way out of a wet paper bag.


The GOP is devoid of talent, and they're screwed.

removed from a committee hearing by Sgt of Arms. That would make a great TV moment.

Of course the witness would be speaking of the crime of bribery. Sort of.

...The GOP hasn't got .."a clue"..Well a few have .."a clue....

So, who are the few that ..."have a clue?" They are not running for reelection. Those people have "a clue"

If he does what he was brought in to do, he'll make an ass if himself for the world to see. And if he doesn't, he'll be a big fail in front of the people who wanted to see a trained monkey perform.

know the meaning of the word "shame" and will unselfconsciously be the jackass the GOP needs. Did anyone see the movie "Slapshot"? Because no talented hockey players want to play for the losing Charlestown Chiefs, they end up bringing in the Hanson Brothers, turning the games into pure carnival.

from this Gym scumbag...think that they are on top of the world just because they can yell more louder ... if I were there, at the hearing, I would ask him where he was during the 17 years when the kids at the school were being abused? Where was he then? Obviously he wasn't paying attention or worse, he saw and ignored. The most likely of choices he made...saw and ignored, and two witnesses said he did too (knew and ignored).

Scumbag...makes my skin crawl.
