It's not because there must be accountability for crap like this, even if it's distasteful. We can't just say that the GOP in Congress can do whatever the hell they want out of fear of Conyers and Pelosi, because that will lead us to be taken advantage of (which has probably already happened).
I made the "interesting" comment because it WAS interesting to me that they had known for a long time.
I suggest you read my other posts before you lecture me on how I should feel/think about this.
