Fabulous Shit

I'm watching the Senate hearing on Brennan's nomination.

So this is the hearing that all the news reports said would include TOUGH QUESTIONING? Tough questioning on, you know, TORTURE. And about the fact that the Obama administration's Murder Program -- for which Brennan has more responsibility than any other person on the planet -- is based on the administration's claim to ABSOLUTE POWER and that they can KILL ANYONE THEY WANT FOR ANY REASON THEY SAY.

Yeah, those would be good subjects for some TOUGH QUESTIONING.

So I've been listening for about two hours.

"God, the CIA is like the GREATEST THING EVER! Everyone in the CIA is A SAINT! Like, SERIOUSLY!!"

"Bless you for all your great service! And for your willingness to serve STILL MORE!!!"

"So in this one comment of yours from 1971, didn't you mean 'AND/or' and not just 'OR'? You'd agree with that, right? Oh, THANK YOU! I thought the record should be clear on that vital point!"

"PROTECT AMERICAN LIVES! NATIONAL SECURITY! THANK YOU!"

And now Feinstein (Christ, what a horror) is saying: "Hey, Awlaki may have been an American citizen, BUT HE WAS A MEAN, ROTTEN, REALLY BAD SON OF A BITCH WHO DESERVED TO BE KILLED!!!!"

Now Rockefeller: "This is THE BEST HEARING FOR A CIA NOMINEE EVER! I LOVE YOU!!!"

And Burr just made a joke. About WATERBOARDING. Sweet.

Tough questioning.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Best laugh I've had for YEARS.

I think this hearing is beyond fabulous. I also think every American should be FORCED to watch Congressional hearings for a week or two nonstop. One Congressional hearing after another, with a very short snack and bathroom break every eight hours.

After two or three days of shit like this, EVERYONE WOULD BE AN ANARCHIST.

And then I could die happy.
