The hearing is absolutely stupid! Why in the hell is this a Congressional matter anyway? Shouldn't they be spending our money doing things that matter?

This is my feeling. I wish one of those guys getting drilled by these guys would ask the Congressmen if they think hearings like this will help their 20% approval rating.

Let's face it: the public paid more attention to this hearing than any other hearing in the past 2 years.

There could be a hearing about pulling out of Iraq immediately and cutting off all war funds, and the public will still pay more attention to the Roger Clemens hearing.

Your criticism of Congress is not well-founded. You should be looking in the mirror.

The public pays a lot of attention to OJ or that big boobed gal that ODed or the Brittney Spears saga. Are you saying the most important things are the things the public pays attention to. No wonder half the stuff you say seems so irrelevant and disjointed.
