TPMtv: Watch the Cookie Crumble

As in the courtroom, there aren't many real Perry Mason moments in congressional investigations. But Henry Waxman had one yesterday when he was trying to get to the bottom of why the State Department's chief private contractor watchdog (the Inspector General) was running interference for Blackwater and Dyncorp rather than the taxpayers. We bring you the key moments in today's episode of TPMtv.

@PussycatGoGo this crap happens with both democraps and republiturds; they are all in it for the money and power......to hell with the American people and the sacred oaths these so-called representatives of the people swore to when they took office.

Wait -- how about "Perjurer," kedekatan? Does that work for you? Too complicated? Let's keep it easy then. How about "Liar?" Am I pronouncing that right?

[teebob2000]

How about "Traitor?" Did I pronounce that right?

Many of these Blackwater/Mercenary warmonger groups types are based in Armageddonist Christianity.

You should read/watch some info about the "Family".

That is a problem.You guys just can't recognize the good from the bad anymore. This guy, like many of his ilk, are dishonest, unethical, in it for the money, and liars, but maintain a facade that you seem to have bought into. A perfect citizen of the era of corruption and greed.

Josh, shame on you for trying to smear a good man. I worked briefly with Howard Krongard and in my view he is a principled, kind and honorable man, who served his country admirable in some challenging foreign locales. Perhaps you might find a better form of public service than this pseudo papparazi business. At the very least, learn how to pronounce Krongard's name right.

[Kisinkona]

This liar speaks out of the side of his mouth....trying not to reveal too much....

[z8it]

Really?

The Bush / Clinton dynasty has been in power for almost three decades and this level of cronyism shocks you?

wow!

Smell that? ...It's coffee! ...time to WAKE UP!
