Next time you tune in to Congress in action... Remember this.

Have you ever watched a congressional hearing in action?
Even once? (go ahead, we won't tell anyone.... our little secret).

How about just flipped channels and lingered on C-span for longer than a Nanosecond?

Next time you do, remember a few simple tid bits.....

The person testifying before the hearing? You know, poor sweaty sap they are drilling and grilling? That person had to swear an oath to tell the truth, punishable by jail or fines. Understand that part, right? Now the kicker..., and the part that must be remembered.....

The CongressCritters up on the big bench
swore no such oath. They can say anything they darn
well please without almost without retribution.
True, false, valid, or pure drug driven lunacy,
they are *almost* immune. Almost I say, but not quite......
and that's the second thing to remember when
you listen to them critters from the district of confibulation.....

Congress had to come up with special rules just
for congress on what they can say,
but only about each other!

Congresscritters may not, specifically, no matter
the evidence, publicly call each other "Liar' or
"thief", amongst other terms.

Think about it... they made it against the law to call
each other liar in public, no matter how true it
might be. HMMmmmmm..... Now what does
that say about Congress in general?

Me, I tend to believe they are right. Without
such rules they would probably spend all day and
every day just calling each other names. More
to the point, I am prepared to also believe
everything they say, but only about each other.

Just once I'd like to see a witness get up and say:
"*I* swore to tell the truth, would you silly buggers
up there take the same oath right now in front of
those cameras??"

I bet Ted Kennedy would turn that special shade of
purple he reserves for people who bring up
drowned dead drunken girl friends.......
