you have it wrong. Americans expect BETTER government (as it is correctly spelled) If this is an example of that, then I say - Hooray! The corrupt republicans are stealing money and power from ALL Americans, you dolt. If you were a true republican, you would donate the rope to Waxman to hang these folks. If not, then you are just another useless cog in the NeoCon powergrab for totalitarianism. (look up that word!)

Ratfaced, yes. But he's just doing the oversight job the Soviet-wannabee party--i.e., the Republicans--couldn't be bothered with for the last 6 years, since it might involve serving their country instead of the GOP.

Of course, you could never call anyone in the GOP a "reformed" anything. Once some "donor" greases their palm, they'll sell their country out faster than a $2 streetwalker.

Waxman is rat-faced McCarthyite. I loved how the former chairman called him a "reformed prostitute" in pointing out his hypocrisy. LMFAO!

go waxman - make those corrupt republicans squirm!

Miss Doan, I'm afraid you may be bound for prison. She embodies the totality of the Republican Party in 2007 -- Corruption, Incompetence and Partisan Hackery.

You mean power grabbing, like how the GOP transformed the GSA into a political arm of the Republican Party?

[bascout]

taxpayer's expect less govenment and power grabbing hit men like waxman, give us a break. This is an example of our democrat party at their best.

As congressman Waxman said in the vid they apparently manage some buildings also, but if the vast majority of that $500 million was wasted on office supplies it wouldn't really shock and amaze me. This lopsided bad deal contract that they are discussing here is pretty common place in the gov as people abuse the system to hook up their friends with fat contracts. Our bureaucracy has some real problems that they are only scratching the surface of here.

$500,000,000 worth of office supplies?
