Conyers?
Cool!
Even so, Safavian had extra support in his corner that morning. Two congressmen -- one a liberal Democrat, surprisingly enough -- stopped by to cheer him on before the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee.
"I think he will do a great job for the American people in this job," testified Rep. Chris Cannon, R-Utah, who had previously employed Safavian as a top aide. "I would like to second what Chris Cannon has said," added Rep. John Conyers, D-Michigan, who brought along his chief of staff and two lawyers to add to his cheering section. "We are joined with his wife and his mom, as well as his family and friends, to underscore how fine a decision has been made for this appointment," Conyers gushed. "We hope that the Senate will agree and get him to work as quickly as possible."
Democratic Sen. Frank Lautenberg of New Jersey was impressed by the VIP endorsements. "When the nominee comes in with a fortification like John Conyers, you know that this is serious business, and we are going to pay a lot of attention. You, too, Mr. Cannon," he said.
