9/11 Commission Hearings
Madeline Albright is testifying now, and she is comporting herself well. Prior to starting questioning, Tim Roemer made a public call for Condi to get her ass before the commission tomorrow instead of making the rounds of talk shows trying to trash Richard Clarke. This is gonna be good.
2nd up: Colin Powell: Powell is running out the clock with a lengthy opening statement. He's been asked twice to shorten his remarks by Tom Kean. He brushed off the first request, ignored the second. At this rate, they'll have time to ask him two or three questions.
I'll bet that all of the ThugCo minions will do this.
Now Richard ben-Veniste is citing a long list of precedent of presidential advisors testifying before committees such as this one - basically shooting down Condi's refusal to appear. Good on him.
Replies: 4 people speak up
Cspan just cut away from Powell's "testimony" to show the reading of a resolution in the House commending the Garden Club of America.

Condi's probably afraid that if she 'testifies' the fires of Hell will lick up from beneath the floor where she'd be sitting and swallow her up whole.
I don't wish any harm to her, but it'd be funny if that happened and some people in renaissance clothing appeared chanting "burn the witch!"
Just a stray thought from a lowly, innocent, non-threatening, yet twisted mind.
Just wait until Richard Clarke appears. That's going to be the highlight of the show I think. You know something's wrong when people of your own party turn against you.

I just can't wait to find a transcript.
Powells testimony defies belief. Very articutate, UNTIL he's asked specific questions. Then his memory fails! Dissembling a its best.
PUT THESE LIARS UNDER OATH!

No wonder Powell wouldn't shut up when asked to keep his opening remarks short!
They were ready for posting on the gov website!
