Henry Waxman-THE MAN FROM U.N.C.O.M.F.O.R.T.A.B.L.E.

He makes crooked people in office and daddy warbucks contractors uncomfortable.

Yo Nancy, post the Satcher testimony, or this is gonna look bad for you, I bet.

Must have been an 'oversight'. lol

Notice that Pelosi didn't have the balls to post the Satcher testimony. Why not? Why do we only get the testimony of the Republicans? Is she trying to protect the Clintons? Ether way, you have to believe that the reason it was not posted was to save somebody embarrassment.

From the moment Clinton nominated Joseyln Elders the position has never been the same.
