What a horrific piece of human excrement he is.

He can't stand the fact that Democrats now RUN THE SHOW.

I caught the re-run late last night and wanted to throw my tv from the 2nd floor balcony.

1. I also watched that hearing last night. I remember Burton being just
as bad when he WAS Chair of that Committee. And YES, it's very obvious that he's not a happy camper being the minority! I suspect his fellow Senators are used to this by now. I noticed Waxman pretty muchblew him off by saying"well THIS Chairman is ding it this way!"

3. Bah - Burton couldn't get enough Clinton investigations or PR
heck - he even invited press to his home where he shot up a watermelon to "prove" that Vince Foster was murdered. He is a joke.

Currently he is under heat at home for missing many congressional votes to go on golf outings. After apologizing - three weeks later he missed the Walter Reed hearings. Got more heat. He has his first primary challenger in years - a former county coroner. Somehow there is a bit of poetic justice to be served if he were to be beaten by a coroner... don't ya think?

2. All the CONS were sucking sour grapes yesterday, and
every time they hold an oversight committee meeting.

It was hilarious! He brought up all the witch-hunts that was brought forth in the Clinton administration, which was a witch-hunt! What a sore losing scumbag! He looked like a fucking idiot up there acting like a whiny brat!

Oy vey. I had to turn the channel. Now that the Dems are in power he's suddenly disgusted with witch hunts. He has no room to talk. Wasn't he the one responsible for requesting Socks' fan club list? Oh, yes he was:

https://www.democrats.org/a/2007/03/republicans_sou.php

FELINE FAN CLUB SCANDAL

Republicans Called For Answers on The First Cat’s Fan Mail. Dan Burton publicly questioned the use of White House personnel to answer letters addressed to the Clinton family pet.

Dan Burton’s Letter to The Clintons: As a member of the new Committee on Government Reform and Oversight, I would like to inquire what the standard practice is for the White House to respond to mail directed to 'Socks,' your cat… How many of these inquiries were responded to over the past two years? Who pays for the postage? If it comes out of the White House mail budget, why are the taxpayers being made to pay for your feline's fan club?
