is not worthy of belief.

Frankly, this day-before-the-hearing crap is just like the drunken frat boy doing his term paper from The House Files in the last few minutes remaining on his extension.  A disgusting mess.

It's clear that the threat of oversight managed to get some "movement" - real or illusory - from the Admin.  Which means, then, that (a) they're weak and everyone knows it and, more importantly, (b) More Oversight and more threat of oversight is just the thing to get More movement out of them.  

It's a momentum thing, y'know.  "Big Mo", I think Poppy called it.

Oh, yeah.  This "I won't answer that question" response is not a cognizable response.  Were I a Senator, my response to such an answer would be along the lines of "Attorney General Gonzales, would you tolerate 'I won't answer that question' from a PW at Gitmo or some other military brig?  No?  Neither will I;  now answer the f'g question."

That response is perfect (none / 0) (#7)

Now if only they would use it.
