All I know is....just ONCE I would like these pompous Senators to have to face a panel of WE CITIZENS that could make accusations and insults and ask stupid questions...

and humilitate THEM in front of national TV.

It's funny how originally Brown was considered a dolt who didn't know his job and padded his resume.. now he is questioned like an expert..

What I dont get is this. That afternoon we knew of massive flooding. Now of course MOnday night was when the other canal broke. So people knew of flooding that afternoon. Now it seems saying that that the Federal response was pretty quick that day.

LOL.

Repeat after me:

"I WONT LET THE BASTARDS GET TO ME"

Try it. It works.

Look at Collins, she is an idiot. I would not worry so much about these people. Very little will come from this. Brown is in CYA mode, angry that he got no cover from the White House, but that wont get him anywhere today. The MSM will get a few juicy quotes but in the end, it will be a blip on the radar screen.

"pompous Senators"

It's no accident that the American people haven't elected a senator president since JFK. It's really stunning - the one job that you would think would be the stepping stone to the White House simply hasn't delivered. Why? Because, as you say, senators seem particularly prone to pomposity and vanity, coupled with a cowardice in the face of the media. This combination of pomposity and spinelessness becomes transparent during the course of a presidential campaign, and can't be hidden from voters. Kerry was just the latest example.
