Ha Ha Funny

No WMD? That's some funny shit, if you're a member of the Washington press corps. No need to cover that Downing Street Memo. It's old news, right? The press corps was in on the joke from the beginning.

Except that they forgot to tell the American people.

Better yet, now that the Downing Street Memo is getting some attention, arrogantly mock a hearing investigating the Downing Street Memo...
Dana Milbank of The Washington Post, in an article Friday, suggested that the congressional forum the previous day on the Downing Street memos was something of a joke. In his opening sentence he declared that House Democrats “took a trip to the land of make-believe” in pretending that the basement conference room was actually a real hearing room, even importing a few American flags to make it look more official.
...a hearing that had to be held in a small basement room because power mad Rethugs wouldn't let John Conyers have a proper room for the proceedings.
In other news of Republican Majorities Gone Wild, a new policy of denying hearing rooms to Democrats has been instituted by the Judiciary Committee Majority.

According to today's The Hill, "majority staff recently announced a new policy to deny any request from a committee Democrat for the use of a committee hearing room."

That new edict, instituted in time to attempt to shut down the minority's planned Thursday hearing on the Downing Street Minutes/Memo has forced the Democrats to scramble to find a location for the event.
Is it any wonder we're in the mess we're in?

These arrogant media jerks are more interested in maintaining their regular cocktail party invites and their membership in the D.C. Kool Kids "journamalism" club than expose a President who knowingly misled this country into war.

They are more interested in mocking a hearing about hard evidence that the President knowingly misled our country into war than revealing the reason why the hearing had to be held in the basement of the Capitol building.

They are also more interested in laughing at an offensive joke that over 1700 Americans have paid for with their lives, not to mention the over 12,000 wounded.

No WMDs.

Ha. Ha. Ha.

A fucking laugh riot.
