I didn't see the hearing live this morning, but it was just as hilarious even watching this taped, on CSPAN. They kept flashing on the screen every time some Democrat was shouting into microphones that were turned off, "Rep. Sensenbrenner has already officially gaveled this hearing to a close". The atmoshpere with the Democrats and their Liberal stooge panelists was not quite the same atmosphere of the Ohio Vote Fraud faux hearing held by Democrats in January, chaired by that screwball Rep. Conyers.

More biased reporting. I watched the hearing on C-SPAN. The hearing was over and Sensenbrenner in his capacity as chairman, closed the meeting. The Dems wanted to continue getting more statements from the anti-Bush panel, most of whom failed to address provisions in the Patriot Act.

Everyone had an opportunity to question the panel. Maxine Waters, the last questioner, spent four minutes and 45 seconds of her alloted five minutes in a diatribe against Bush. Conyers, the ranking member, then asked for four additional minutes so the panel members could respond to Waters' comments. Rightfully, Sensenbrenner refused and after some closing remarks adjourned the meeting.
