So where do they go after the GOP kicks them out of the copier room?

The session took an awkward turn when witness Ray McGovern, a former intelligence analyst, declared that the United States went to war in Iraq for oil, Israel and military bases craved by administration "neocons" so "the United States and Israel could dominate that part of the world." He said that Israel should not be considered an ally and that Bush was doing the bidding of Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon. "Israel is not allowed to be brought up in polite conversation," McGovern said. "The last time I did this, the previous director of Central Intelligence called me anti-Semitic."

Sunset Boulevard. With Pelosi as Norma Desmond, Bernie Sanders as Max, and Nadler as the crowd. The only way to lure them out of the basement is with a camera and lights. They'll have to fight Schumer, though. Tough times to go insane.

Rep. John Conyers Jr. (D-Mich.) banged a large wooden gavel and got the other lawmakers to call him "Mr. Chairman." He liked that so much that he started calling himself "the chairman" and spouted other chairmanly phrases, such as "unanimous consent" and "without objection so ordered." The dress-up game looked realistic enough on C-SPAN, so two dozen more Democrats came downstairs to play along. These people get payed to do this crap?

Is it me? Is it Friday? Or, is that headline just alittle bit lascivious?

The land of make believe. LOL
Conyers got his fellow nutjobs to call him Mr. Chairman.
The left is delusional.

High Comedy:
Conyers's firm hand on the gavel could not prevent something of a free-for-all; at one point, a former State Department worker rose from the audience to propose criminal charges against Bush officials. Early in the hearing, somebody accidentally turned off the lights; later, a witness knocked down a flag. Matters were even worse at Democratic headquarters, where the C-SPAN feed ended after just an hour, causing the activists to groan and one to shout "Conspiracy!"

Ahhh, the land of make believe. Where 911 never happened and everybody wants gay marraige. This land of make believe I have seen in movies and TV as well, in things like "Bullsworth", "The Contender", and "West Wing". These are places where liberal policies actaully work.

LOL.
And yet there have been several articles in our local paper that people don't think actors are good role models and that G rated movies fare better (financially) than more adult themed movies.
But Hollyweird has an agenda and we're all supposed to buy into their garbage.

This is what happens when you leave rabid Dems unsupervised. Even the WAPO is embarrassed.
And, of course, it results in attacks on Israel. I realize the number of Jews (orthodox) leaving the Democrats is growing, but it should be higher across the board. Time they realized anti-semitism is alive and thriving in the hearts of their representation in Washington.

Startling article from the WPIMHO, there's nothing startling about this. It's just a bunch of treasonous RAT bastards playing make believe on our dime. Nothing startling about that. They do this constantly. Durbin for example.

I've said it before, I'll say it again:
The Democrats are the party of treason.
Once we acknowledge that simple fact, the easier it is to defeat them utterly. Until the other major party comes RIGHT OUT AND SAYS IT they will always be nothing more than spineless cowards.
