Disorder in the House

Today in Washington, Rep. Peter Welch's interrogation of Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Stephen Johnson led to a little disorder in the House.

House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Henry Waxman ended up gaveling things back to order.

Welch was asking Johnson about whether he had met with the president over the EPA's decision not to grant California (and Vermont and a bunch of other states) a Clean Air waiver that would have allowed them to put into place stricter car emissions standards. Johnson was not sharing much in the way of information.

Then Waxman sets in on the inquiry over the objections of Republican Rep. Darrell Issa.

Here are the You Tube links, in case you missed it on CSPAN 3 (yeah, I don't get CSPAN 3 either), you can view the action HERE.

The event, minus Welch's participation, is also the subject of a Wall Street Journal blog item you can see HERE.

Comments:
Welch acquitted himself well.

Johnson is a complete disgrace and the same goes for that slimeball Issa.

Thankfully, like Leahy, Waxman refused to let Johnson stonewall and ripped Issa's head off. No more Specter or Davis refusals to put Bush trash under oath and no more free passes for gop trash.

Peter Welch is already an effective Congressman and he will get better as his experience in DC grows.

Yeah, except for working stiffs who, as usual, will end up paying the brunt of all the tax increases the libs like Welch are about to impose if they can only get Hussein Obama in!
 
KKKracker Bubba shows once agin why he needs to move to the deep south.
 
Great.

Ooops...forgot again! Can't call Obama by his given name...can't criticize his long-time pals Dohrn, Ames, and Wright...can't bring up Tony Rezko...can't mention his snobbish insults of middle class working people that "turn to guns" because they're so "frustrated"...can't mention race even thought over 90% of blacks vote for him (only whites can be racists)...and DEFINITELY can't criticize his wife for calling our country "mean" and something she has never been proud of!

We are still waiting for the first shred of any factual content in your posts Coopy.


Again, remember, insults are not facts in the grown-up world.

And still that's all you ever seem to be able to muster up, little factually-challenged filly"

Always a pleasure to kill two nuggets of nameless-nitwit nonsense nuggets with one stone, auntie amerika.

Dismissed.
