What Democrats Are Currently Good For

So much spinning going on in this committee hearing that you'd think you'd been at an all-night polka party.  Fun to see the other side get challenged for a change.  They don't like it much.  Better late than never, imo.

The high point for me was when Rep. Darrell Issa tried to stick Hansen into the biased and thus dismissable Kerry-loving Bush-hating Democrat box.  Hansen jumped right out by noting that he's a registered independent and preferred Sen. John McCain over Sen. John Kerry for president.  And preferred the late Sen. John Heinz (also a Republican) over either one of them.  'Nuff said.
