When I heard Rep. Scalise criticizing the Select Committee to investigate the January 6th

insurrection as "partisan" and refusing to say that his party would even participate in the Committee's investigation, it reminded me of something I'd seen and heard before: "little Bobby", a spoiled-rotten child of my parents' friend who would whine, kick, scream, cry and flail around on the floor any time he did not get what he wanted as soon as he demanded it.

Once, after Bobby and his mama left, I heard my mother comment to my father that Bobby had learned that he could "get away with" being a brat and would never change until he was made to "pay a price" for his behavior.

I think the same can be said about "little Stevie".

Wouldn't he want to find out who and why? Having our Capitol overrun in an attempt to overthrow the Presidency is a shot to our democracy closer to the heart than where he got shot. And we have way more unanswered questions.

then Pelosi should go outside the congress and get some previous republicans with credentials to join the committee.
