We're paying his salary, and he can't even tell us what he DOES?

If this doesn't illustrate how desperately we need a new administration to the American people, I'm not sure what could.

LEAHY: I'm just asking you what role you have. I'm just asking you what you do. Let's not be too contemptuous of this committee. The American taxpayers pay your salary. You work for the American people. I'm just asking you what you DO.

JENNINGS: (leans over to consult with Fred Fielding) This falls under the terms of executive privilege, and respectfully I must decline to answer that question at this time.

We're paying his salary, and he can't even tell us what he DOES?

Defies analysis. Ties up the brain in such a pretzel that it's hard to formulate a response.

Even a Bush supporter watching this would have to say, "OK, this is over the top." These are your heroes, the guys who are spending $1 trillion – of your money – to not catch Osama bin Laden or defeat the Taliban. On the heels of the Minneapolis bridge disaster, it seems hard to believe that anyone when polled could respond that the country is "on the right track". If it's a Third-World country you want, I guess we're moving your way.

1. See, if he told us, he'd have to kill us.

So he's really just looking out for our welfare by not telling us. Got it?

[htuttle]

2. His name is Flagg -- he's like the wind

Nobody sees him come, nobody sees him leave...

:eyes:

[porphyrian]

6. Yeah, but nowhere as cool as the Walking Dude. - n/t

[Richard Steele]

9. Psst- wrong Flagg!

He meant this one:

[ProdigalJunkMail]

10. dammit...that made me spit out my coffee...

:rofl:

:spank:

13. If we had more men like him, we'd have fewer men like him...

...that we ever HEARD of, anyway. :eyes:

[UKProPeace]

3. Does he "not recall" what he does? eom

[Subdivisions]

4. FYI, the hearing is being replayed right now

on CSPAN-2.

I just had to see this again!

[SpiralHawk]

5. Unblieveable. Another republicon diaper freak, I'll bet

Since this republicon clown won't tell us he does to earn a paycheck from us, I have to assume he is the official Bush White House Diaper Freak ...since Diaper sex seems to be a particular republicon fascination.

What a shameful republicon maroon.

[gasperc]

7. yeah, what an asshole, hopefully it's addressed during yearlykos

that should help give it more media play

Buzzflash and Huffington Post should headline it too!!!!!

[TreasonousBastard]

8. Of all the bullshit so far, this one gets to me. Incredible! n/t

14. they never cease to gall, do they?

well, until they die... then their friends mourn with week long mourngasms and instant beatification.

[RaleighNCDUer]

11. OK, when was the definition of 'executive priviledge' stretched out

to mean "anything that has anything to do with the executive branch"?

Is there a judge out there somewhere who can rule that it applies (when it applies at all) only to the Pres., VP, and their immediate advisors?

Since when has it applied to 4th tier bureaucrats?

[in_cog_ni_to]

12. That's because his job is to break every freakin' law ever made.

Obviously, the repukes want a dictatorship. They've made that perfectly clear.
