Rep. Elijah Cummings' High Theater at Lerner Hearing


Lights, camera, action!  Welcome to Rep. Elijah Cummings’ high theater and grand illusion.  Boy, those democrats sure do know how to play on the political stage.  Today, we had Lois Lerner, an IRS thug, testifying before a House congressional committee, whom repeatedly took the Fifth Amendment.  But you can damn well bet that’s not what the mainstream media will report.  Not after the antics of Mr. Cummings.

The press is already rolling with this repression of a black congressman by a powerful, rich white guy narrative.   Why this poor black man was denied his right to voice his opinion.  Of course, Mr. Cummings and the press failed to mention that he had his opportunity to speak, but didn’t.  Why did the congressman wait until the hearing was adjourned?  Could that be by design?  Hmmm?






Rep. Elijah Cummings has been in Congress since 1996.  Are we to believe that he doesn’t know parliamentary procedures?  This is theater for the low-information masses.  Smoke and mirrors folks, smoke and mirrors.

Rep. Anthony Weiner Throws his Ass on the House Floor...Again!




Rep. Anthony Weiner strikes again. He threw his ass on the house floor. This time over a bill that the Democrats passed; but somehow it wasn't good enough because only 11 republicans voted for it. The Democrats then rescinded the bill; unheard of in the history of congress as far as I know.

It is all political theater. Anthony Weiner was playing to the cameras. If this bill was that important it shouldn't matter how many republicans voted for it.

I will give Mr. Weiner some kudos. He appeared on Sean Hannity's radio show today; and I've seen him on Fox News. The man isn't scared to defend his position; unlike others in his party.
