Between the 9-11 hearings, this and other Senate media events how much time has been wasted by Administration officials having to submit to these gasbags instead of doing they were sworn to do, protect Americans?

...how much time has been wasted by Administration officials having to submit to these gasbags instead of doing they were sworn to do, protect Americans?

The hearings are nothing but the liberals' means of (1) trying to stop anything Bush (including by tying up Republicans' time), and (2) giving themselves a platform from which to pontificate. (What else have they to do?)
