You don’t need a pass to get into Congressional hearings, but you have to go through building security and, for a hearing like this, you have to get there about 5 a.m. to stand in line to get into the room, if you are not staff, press or a participant, because all the hearing rooms have occupancy limits. I am certain Code Pink hires line-standers. All the lobbyists do. I can’t see that group of unemployed harpies actually getting there early and standing in line themselves. In addition, in the hearing rooms, there is no physical barrier between the witnesses and the audience.

I just wish that Condi had smacked the moonbat right across the chops. I know she was tempted.

Perhaps the State Department should expand its contract with Blackwater to provide domestic security for VIPs....

Found this little tidbit from: http://www.internationalrelations.house.gov/110/rules110.PDF

RULE 13. STAFF SERVICES
The Committee staff shall be selected and organized so that it can provide a comprehensive range of professional services in the field of foreign affairs to the Committee, the subcommittees, and all its Members. The staff shall include persons with training and experience in foreign affairs, making available to the Committee individuals with knowledge of major countries, areas, and U.S. overseas programs and operations.

Subject to clause 9 of rule X of the House of Representatives, the staff of the Committee, except as provided in paragraph (c), 9 shall be appointed, and may be removed, by the Chairman with the approval of the majority of the Members in the majority party of the Committee. Their remuneration shall be fixed by the Chairman, and they shall work under the general supervision and direction of the Chairman. Staff assignments are to be authorized by the Chairman or by the Chief of Staff under the direction of the Chairman.

Supposedly, the Deputy Chief of Staff of this Committee was the one calling for the Code Pinker to be released. Wonder if he had a hand in allowing that person into the hearing. This Committee is headed by Tom Lantos.

this is just ridiculous. the Secretary of State 3rd, 4rth in line to Presidency?) approached in such a manner... what if the Pinko had fashioned a weapon of sorts and struck her during the hearings. I think whoever allowed this Pinko to come in and do her show should be dragged before a Congressional Hearing. that wacko reminded me of Carrie the movie.

How is it that a woman from Arlington, Texas decides to travel to Washington DC to participate in this act of civil disruption?

It’s up to Congress to maintain order. If it was a member of Congress who invited these nuts in, he or she should be reprimanded. If it was a staffer, they should be fired. Enough of this nonsense. They can have their free speech on the sidewalk.
