I can't believe how shitty and what assholes the repukes were today towards Sec. Sebelius.

if the House Dems had done that to a Bush admin cabinet member, you'd never hear the end of it from the Bush team nor the media. What a god damn double standard.

I was watching other programming but I occasionally checked back to MSNBC to see if the damned things were off the air. I caught a few assholes who were very rude and nasty including that nitwit Marsha Blackburn. That woman makes my teeth itch. I feel so badly for Sec Sebelius having to deal with that sideshow. How she maintained her cool is beyond me.

He put them in their place very nicely. That's the way to handle the jerks.

They know they lost so now they start with the bullshit name calling and shit. The 90 year old guy was a jerk. Said he thought he saw her as a kid in Kansas while she was riding a bicycle.

*hole-ery was so patently on display for all to see. They may have done themselves more harm than hurting her - except at the time she had to be in front of them. Their bullying and ignorance were the two biggest take-aways.

It's our job to make sure that their bullying and ignorance do not get forgotten! Lots of LTTEs and mail and calls to the offices of the most egregious GOPers are in order.

they had a 2 week long tantrum and still didn't get their way.



That's exhausting even for the most energetic 5 year old.

What I did see was hideous. There's rude and childish and then there's that performance.
