CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER: I don't think you have to have a committee of seven experts. I think it is good to choose people who will not seek the limelight. The most important thing here is that the legitimacy of the committee will not come from the composition, but will come from its results. So, the Democrats imagine that if they boycott it will delegitimize it and the results will be ignored. Perhaps initially, but all the committee has to do is to discover new facts as we discovered a week and a half ago with the [Ben] Rhodes memo and that you cannot ignore.
So I hope that Pelosi decides that she does not want to be an accomplice to the sideshow and withholds Democratic members. It won't affect the result, but what it will do, it will allow the Republicans to follow up in their questions in a coherent way without being interrupted by Democrats hurling softballs or making speeches that are ways to essentially exonerate the administration.

It makes perfect sense. He is supposed to be the expert and we, regular people could clearly see what he could not. What is confusing about that?
There is nothing arrogant about it either. FR posters do not bill themselves as political gurus. We don’t get paid for professional opinions and evaluations as he does. We are average people.
Average means just that. Average. You have to compare something to something else to get an average. But since you asked, No, you don’t have to be a freeper to be smart. Plenty of freepers prove that daily. Plenty also prove the reverse. Same as non freepers. Thus...wait for it...Average”.
Freepers are a tiny drop in the bucket. Too few compared to the whole to average out.
On Earth, the sky on a sunny summer afternoon is blue.
Surely you cannot find fault with that statement.
If it’s raining 200 miles away, the sky is not blue.
But it’s a SUNNY day. no rain here or there. Not even in the rainforest. It’s like me. Filled with sunshine enlightening all it touches, bring beauty and serenity wherever it goes. Ask anyone on the Romney threads. They’ll vouch for me.
