Censoring those trying to speak about Abu-Graib(I beleive). He took his gavel and left the room. Then a committe member tried to speak after he left and the CUT HIS MIKE!

1. It was Guantanamo Bay
And it was Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) that they cut the mike off.

What a baby!!

Nadler penned a resolution to continue the hearings..someone posted it the other day.

7. you mean the patriot act hearing last week???
Edited on Fri Jun-17-05 01:20 PM by LSK
Last night was a motion by Nadler to remove Sensorasshole from his judiciary chair because of his actions last friday. It was on CSPAN around 930est last night. It was great to watch, especially if you watched the original hearings last week (these are probably archived on CSPAN.org). Unfortunately, the motion was tabled by a vote.

8. Those were the patriot act hearings
now here is what YOU DO...

Get his contact info

Go down to the store and buy a pacifier, leave it in the package.

Go down to Barnes and Noble and buy a copy of the Constitution

If you wish... write a letter to the good congressman... and if you choose to keep it civil (I did not), put it in the package

Then send this to the baby and the message will be clear once he gets pletny of binkies... we think he is a baby.

Will it work? Well other ridicolous things to send to Congress Critters over the years have had interesting effects... and if he gets innnundated with baby paraphernalia, somebody is going to tell the press who may just cover that... anyway it is our way of telling this Winsconsin Rep, "you got no shame?"
