Nice to know they have nothing better to do.....
Well let's not leave out danny Blather, and his document scam.
So they can do this but can't get to our judicial nominees?
Well, the Democrats have certainly shown us their priorities.
When NOTHING comes of this investigation, what are the chances the MSM will air stories showing how stupid the Dem in Congress are?
Steroids?
The Dems are being sandbagged. They will open this can of worms with (laughing as I type this) "Gannongate" and it will end with "Every Liberal in the White House Press Roomgate."
There is WAY too much going on here :)
They are running around like this creature.
How did you get the PERFECT graphic? LOLOL
