Capitol Snoozefest

Pretty interesting watching General Petraeus appear before the Senate today.

Well, interesting is a subjective term...

It was interesting just how LITTLE actually happened.

Barack Hussein Obama spent the entire time trying to convince everyone that he is serious about the war and not looking for immediate withdrawal.

Hillary Clinton spent the entire time trying to convince everyone that despite the fact that she does not believe Petraeus is telling the truth, she does not believe he is a liar. Oh, and she also has no plan to withdraw immediately.

I guess just so he could keep up with the transparent flip-flop competition, John McCain spent a good amount of time asking pointed questions that he already knew the answers to, and leveling criticism of the way everything has been handled. He DID mention that he did not think it was the General's fault, but since Petraeus has been in charge over there for a year, it certainly begs the question of exactly who it was McCain was dissing.

In fact, this whole thing was so boring that the NY Times has an entire article devoted just to the "performances" of the 3 Presidential contenders.

Ugh. This is what we get for candidates?

Wonder what Perot is doing nowadays?

I mean other than shipping his own company's jobs overseas?

Perot is in a elder care center...McCain's running mate [ vice president ] is who concerns me... Clinton or Obama will get forgotten when a voter closes the curtain to vote.... Don..
