Delahunt said he was just trying to express that he was glad to see Addington. Delahunt said he recalls saying "I," not "they," during the testimony

I was giving Delahunt the benefit of the doubt until I read his absurd explanation.

Too bad we're in 2008, because a while back this would be happening:

The hearing is beingi replayed on CSPAN right now (12:00 am est). Delahunt is coming up soon; watch for yourself.

I wrote an email to Mrs. Pelosie suggesting to her that Delahant should be censored immediately for his remark.

It was beyond the pale — in fact, the hearings are absurd on their face. Hardly any pubbies there and the dems are more concerned about the terrorists than they are with the safety of the United States.

God, these people are beneath contempt. He’ll probably make sure AQ has Addington’s address, too.

In a nation of 300 million folks — I can’t believe that the assholes we send to Congress are the best we can do....

If Dueling was still legal - a MAN could have called Mr. Delahunt into the street and demanded an acceptable apology, and failing that, shot the bastard.

The absence of Dueling has been the single biggest contributing factor to the nonsense and insults the nation has suffered from these morons, and without Dueling - it is difficult and time consuming to cull them out.

Yeah, right. And wasn't Delahunt the one making cosy with Hugo Chavez to get cheap or free oil from Venezuela for the poor of Massachusetts.

This is the silly asshat.

As usual -- this idiot is from Massoftwoshits...

With their excess of asshats - we'll have to change the name to Massofmanyshits.

Why would you give the turd Delahunt the benefit of the doubt about anything that comes out of his lying mouth?

Thats the only thing that could keep assholes like Delahunt and the rest of the SOB's from Massachusetts from opening up their big fat stupid communist mouths.

Back then, you said the wrong thing you would have to answer for it , maybe with your life.

Kept cowards and blow hards in check.

I have to say after watching cspan, I really don't know how Addington kept his cool. This was the most biased, partisian meeting I've ever watched on c-span. Not only that, it was totally disorganized by the committee chair. He did not know what he was doing at all. And if I was anyone of these guys, I would not come back for another meeting. Unless they lawfully had to do it. What a waste of time for them and for our country.

Not only was Delahunt bad but the Rep. from Montgomery was awful to all of the panel. I kept thinking about my trip recently to Alabama and how I-65 is so backed up in Montgomery that it takes forever to take the alternative routes and was just a mess in that area, (Selma, etc.) This rep needs to take care of the place he represents. Especially the roads. It they are not going to take care of the tourist going through the state, he might as well, not run. Tourism in the Gulf Shores should be high on their list. A lot of money is generated there to help the whole state and they won't come there if the roads are constantly one lane. What a mess! Had to get that off my chest.
