FYI...here's a link to the list, and pics, of the committee members. The GOP has some very able, and forceful, interrogators....King, Gohmert, Jordan, Chafetz, Gowdy, Labrador..and I expect them to put Holder on the spot.

But I suspect that we will be astonished by what comes out of the mouths of the Democrats' "three stooges," Conyers, Jackson Lee, and Johnson.

I'm not even sure if Conyers is "compos mentis" these days...he is surely a walking advertisement for term limits. He is the ranking member, and will thus get to talk about as long as he wants...that is, assuming that he doesn't fall asleep and start drooling.

Among his career lowlights are his comments about the Obamacare Bill, which was rammed through the House....

"...What good is reading the bill if it's a thousand pages and you don't have two days and two lawyers to find out what it means after you read the bill?.."

Well, John, America is now finding out exactly what good it would have been..to read the bill before passing it. And let's not forget that the little woman, Monica, is now doing 3 years in prison for bribery.

Sheila Jackson Lee is from another planet. Period. Obama was obviously referring to her at his press conference when he said, "there's no there, there.." There really isn't.

I was going to add a "Best of Sheila Jackson Lee" compendium to this post..but there are far, far, too many to choose from. Feel free to add your own favorite...

Hank Johnson, as you may recall, once announced that as a result of additional US military being deployed to Guam, he "feared the whole island would tip over and capsize..."

And just recently, he lamented on the House floor, that sequestration would result in a depletion of the US helium supply, and little children couldn't enjoy the joy of balloons..

It should be something to behold...

Two other important points to watch for.

Will the GOP demand that Holder testify under oath? This is normally not done when a Cabinet Secretary appears before Congress..but it is not without precedent. It could start the fireworks early.

The majority of the House GOP conference wants a Special Select Committee to handle all these scandals. To date, Boehner and the 5 committee chairs that have oversight have refused. If Holder stonewalls the committee today, look for the Select committee to happen immediately.

Reaching a decision on the dumbest democrat would indeed be a task best assigned to a supercomputer.

I guess, since Maxine Waters is a senator,
she won’t be “on the list”.

The mean and evil white men from the GOP ganging up on Holder, Conyers, Lee and Johnson. A perfect opportunity for some major race card usage. What a joke.

I am speaking of John Conyers, Sheila Jackson Lee, and Hank Johnson....

Most definitely the first 2 are about as useless as a (fill in the blank). The 3rd guy I am unfamiliar with...

DELICIOUS MICHAEL GOODWIN----NY Post Op-ed "As a metaphor for big govt, it is hard to top the Justice Dept’s seizing of journalists’ phone records from The AP......Unless, of course, you think the best example is the IRS turning the screws on groups it viewed as conservative and, therefore, unworthy of fair treatment. ........Or maybe the winner is the sneaky spreading of ObamaCare’s tentacles, with insurance companies now predicting the law will drive up the cost of individual premiums by as much as 400 percent.

Mmmmmm.....those are good. But let's not forget Benghazi. The list of govt lies and liars grows daily.

The tin pot dictator in the WH went ballistic b/c he had bribed all the terroists to "play nice"....the jihadists disrupted "The Plan" to have the world kneel in obeisance to the "global savior."

Nancy Pelosi wins the dumbest democrat of the decade award, she is the one who illegally signed off Obamas eligibility to be elected.

I hope someone on the committee asks Holder one simple question: Did you obtain a warrant for those AP wire taps? If he did not, I can’t see how anybody can save his ass.

King, Gohmert, Jordan, Chafetz, Gowdy, Labrador.

Conyers, Jackson Lee, Johnson and Holder.

You might as well send the ‘Pubs out there with white hoods and whips. I give it an over / under of 12 minutes into the session before the term ‘slavery’ is used. This might need race bait bingo cards.

It should be excrutiatingly painful. I can’t decide if it’s “must-see TV” or “avoid-at-all-cost TV.”

CONGRESSwoman Sheila Jackson Lee is a rather interesting person.

I have met her and for 20 seconds it seemed that I had a new BFF.

She is married to a professor at University of Houston.

Her intellect appears to be competitive with a box of rocks.

A really odd person.

The radio show host Michael Berry (740 AM)is her nemesis and nearly every day taunts her for her stupidity.

Victoria Toensing thinks a Special Select Committee is a bad idea. It would be bogged down for at least six months as the Rats fight every effort to staff it with people likely to ferret out the Obastard crimes, until eventually we got another committee filled with people like Thomas Pickering.

She says just give the Oversight Committee subpoena power.
