'Big' Jim Thompson
used to be a tough SOB and was a good Governor considering he had to work with the Daley Dems, but what did they do here with this commission, give him two minutes to ask questions?
BTW, he is BIG. I once sat behind him at a Chi Bulls game during the Jordan era (I had row 5 seats!), he almost blocked out the sun. Thankfully the usher moved him court-side.
The dems had more fire. The Reps were all Northeastern (in actuality or politically) RINOs. It was so bad. We were ao outgunned. It was miserable. It really is laughable. The GOP blew it on these hearings. Most of everything was focused on Bush. So little attention was paid to Clinton--this is laughable. Nobody on our side asked good questions of the Clintonistas or Clarke. Very few people from the adminisrtation defended their philosophy, record or good name.
This really makes you heartsick--not a good omen for November.
