Boehner and his gang of cretins better get used to it... they're about to get neutered.

Waaaaah. After reading Boehner's outrage, you'd think that Waxman drop kicked Issa down the stairs. Turns out Waxman was unbelievably restrained.

It REALLY Hurts when you're on the receiving end of a procedural smack-down, doesn't it?
Take your crocodile tears somewhere else; Loser.

Mr. Boehner needs to apologize to the Republican Party for his disatrous failures of leadership. He is leading them, with the assistance of progressive Democrats, down the path of rejection, irrelevance and impotence. American voters are resoundingly throwing out Republicans in districts that have been overwhelmingly Republican for decades. I think the Republican Party should write a letter to Mr. Boehner inquiring into why his leadership isn't any more effective than his rhetoric.

Not to worry,,,, Boehner won't be around too long, he's a big time chain smoker.

I knew this nonsense from Boner (sic) was coming.

Waxman's frustration with the pathetic EPA maladministrator has been building for some time and I expected that it would come to a head, and it did. My theory is that the Republicans expected it to happen. In fact, I'd grant that they planned it this way. I bet they were pushing for a complete Waxman meltdown and Issa was part of the performance.

I watched the entire hearing. Issa was talking over the Chairman and disrupting. That's the single issue. Issa was rude, disruptive, and disrespectful. He has no right to protest.

The fact that Issa shut his face after Waxman issued his demand says it all: guilty. Issa was "imtimidated"? Good.

Of course, in the setting of a congressional hearing, the rules are quite different. If it were a matter of a private citizen doing the same thing as Issa, it would be called "disorderly conduct" and subject one to arrest.

Chairman Waxman was generous. Had it been me I would have thrown him the hell out after a single, firm warning.

I can see it now...
Judge Waxman"... on NBC this fall...

Meanwhile, the democracy continues to fall downhill due to the interesting special effects while nothing is actually done to those who are important more than a gavel response for the camera.

Remember folks... even before the facts were so explicit... impeachment was off the table... and so far,I have seen little as far as introducing laws to prevent this from these actions from happening in the future. I guess promises are nothing more than a means to keep or become powerful, not a personality trait to be admired...

Throw them ALL out or support our continual demise because even the few good Republicans and the few good Democrats will never be able to overcome the mob rule of both parties. those who try will get the committes NOBODY watches or cares about... IMHO

The first rule of propaganda is to accuse the other side of doing what you are doing --- and so JACKASS Boner accuses the dems of being dishonest as another Republican puts up a wall of secrecy to cover the Bush lies

THESE ARE CRIMINALS!!!!!!!!! This Republican party is a criminal organization.... they need to be in jail and until they are this will continue.

Boehner: Let me quote my friend Tena, from an another post: fuckyou fuckyou fuckyou fuckyou fuckyou. You wads better get used to it. This is just the beginning.

I guess Bohner's tirade would have to pertain to Cheney's infamous remarks towards Patrick Leahy, too. Oh, but wait, at least he didn't shoot him in the face.

Bohner, is a pig! Cry, cry, crying at every chance he can get! Flooding his office with calls does not work...his staff is just like him - done it before!

I only see what I saw, and this is a court - which the over site committee basically is, Issa would have been held in content, he just got a gavel hammering down - and a frustrated mans voice telling him to stop or you will be removed!

Waxman is very, very frustrated with ALL republicans! When they had the GAVEL, they did nothing but give this administration a "pass go" card, but they are now feeling the repercussion's of their nasty "appeasement" toward this adminstration by the voter! LOL

Maybe Bhoener should ask Issa to apologize to his fellow committee members and the public for interrupting the questioning of a lying witness; just a thought. Republicans are such hypocrits it is just mind boggling.

He forgot to mention all the poor innocent children that had to witness this debacle! Who cares if the EPA is poisoning them? Another example of Republicans pissing on our backs and telling us it raining.

As Malkin would say...BOO FUCKING HOO Boehner!

I was delighted to see (at last) a smackdown by Waxman for Issa (ALSO a crybaby - as he showed after Arnie took the crown he was certain he could claim...after all, he engineered the recall...)
The boner just added to the comic relief.
Still, this smug pieces of work like Johnson just LOVE getting away with all of their deadly shit. Waxman's disdain is about the biggest comeuppance they will face and they know it.

Funny how sensitive the former steamrolling GOP leadership has become now that Tom "I am the Federal Government" DeLay is gone.
Here's how to make Issa cry: Park a car with a hairtrigger alarm outside of Issa's house. He made his fortune selling car alarms.

What are the rules, anyway? Was there anything to Issa's objections? Or does the Waxman, as the Committee Chairman, have the authority to ask questions as he pleases?

Does anyone know where to find a copy of the rules governing the Oversight & Government Reform Committee?

John Boner is an idiot. Remember his "small price" to pay comment a year ago on CNN. (see the link below).

However, I suspect we should expect more of the same from this jerk.

I was hoping Waxman would bop Issa on the head with the gavel.

There's something I don't get here. Waxman asks Johnson a question. Johnson doesn't answer the question, Waxman askes again, doesn't get an answer. Waxman asks: "Are you citing executive privilege". Johnson says no. So why is Johnson not in contempt of congress for not answering?

Good God, I'd almost forgotten that outrage! ("Small Price . . .") His crowd is the worst bunch of sore losers the world has ever seen. Twelve year old boys playing "King of the Hill" during recess have a better sense of sportsmanship and fair play than Boehner & Co. do. They need to recall Truman's comment about getting out of the kitchen if you can't take the heat!

Intresting find...under the below rule, go to section 10, and what past posts has stated that Issa was convicted? of crimes? Does he fit under thing Rule? I wonder?

RULE XXIII
CODE OF OFFICIAL CONDUCT

10. A Member, Delegate, or Resident
Commissioner who has been
convicted by a court of record for the
commission of a crime for which a
sentence of two or more years’ imprisonment
may be imposed should
refrain from participation in the
business of each committee of which
he is a member, and a Member should
refrain from voting on any question
at a meeting of the House or of the
Committee of the Whole House on
the state of the Union, unless or until
judicial or executive proceedings result
in reinstatement of the presumption
of his innocence or until he is reelected
to the House after the date of
such conviction.

So, what do you think? Could Issa fall under this rule?

Forgive the impoliteness, but:

"Fuck up the Boner"

and the horse he rode in on and the idiots who voted for him . . . ever.

Boehner? Who's Boehner? ;)
