Rep. Edward Markey (D-Mass.), chairman of the Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming, held hearings yesterday to look into fraudulent letters which were sent on behalf of the coal industry to several members of congress. The original hearing was to take place on October 15, but was postponed until yesterday morning. The committee lined up the following witnesses:

Rep. Tom Periello (D-Va.)

Mr. Jack Bonner, Bonner & Associates

Mr. Steve Miller, President and CEO, American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity

Ms. Lisa M. Maatz, Director of Public Policy and Government Relations, American Association of University Women

Mr. Hilary O. Shelton, Director and Senior Vice President for Advocacy and Policy, NAACP Washington Bureau

According to Chris Horner, an attorney and senior fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, the minority on the committee originally wanted him to testify but later acquiesced to the majority's rejection of the addition to the witness list. Mr. Horner told the Washington Times:

“GOP folds”

That is pretty much the story of the GOP. The accordin, not the elephant should be the symbol of the Republican Party.

That’s funny. Funny, but sadly accurate.

Hannibal wouldn’t have gotten out of Spain with this crew.

Everything Ed Markey knows about Global Warming, he learned as an Ice Cream Truck driver.

That’s funny. True of most of these global warming nuts.

Al Gore as a an expert on global warming is laughable.

He’s as qualified to speak on that subject as I am to be a brain surgeon.

Just another reason to vote against incumbents. I will only support those who want to advance a conservative agenda

Markey really drove the truck. It was his last real job. He lives around the corner from me. In a case of extreme irony there is a HUMMER Limo parked in front of his house. I know it’s not his, but it’s funny. What’s not funny is his bill makes repairing appliances after five years illegal. So my parents who are in their 70’s would have to buy new ones made in China while the local repairman goes out of business.

“his bill makes repairing appliances after five years
illegal”

There is a kind of perverse irony in that the “Liberal” Democrats are as controlling of society as the Puritans were.

Ironically, my checkbook also remains folded. Shut.
