I can’t believe what the Congress has put these two honorable public servants through.

C-Span does that all the time. I hate the History Channels, etc.. Sometimes you have to turn it up so much during the program and when the commercials come on, it blasts you out of the room.

Now there’s going to be a mass exodus to the restrooms...

By whom? The Senators don't stay unless they are testifying. Warner looks like he just came from the beauty parlor. I have DVR'd the hearing and will look at him from the beginning. Does his hair look like that in the morning, I wonder.

The rule should be like taking SAT's. Anyone who leaves the room cannot testify. The Senators might even learn something beyond their own talking points.

McCaskill is up...she’s the last questioner.

Why is she talking about how she got elected to the Senate? The poor General’s been here for ten hours and she’s going on about irrelevant things? Geez louise...

How did they manage to save the most irritating of all for last?

Oh so they can leave once they've questioned? That makes sense...

This does kinda remind me of the SAT...hours of torture, then a 5-minute break, then more hours...

Sorry, but I have to stick up for my former party (”former” being the operative word)

My family, (both sides) since they arrived at Ellis Island, were democrats.

How’d they choose? I don’t know. But let me tell you this.... EVERY male member (oops...forgot about the Aunts) and some female members of my family served in the military. One Uncle was in WWII, then Korea, then Vietnam. Both of my brothers, most of my cousins, ALL of my uncles, AND my Dad....were ready, willing, and able to fight (and they did).... and die, if neccessary, for the country their Parents and Grandparents journeyed to for hope, prosperity, and freedom. As those immigrants made sure their children understood, so my parents made ME understand how precious this nation really is.

The Democrat party has been completely corrupted. There is nothing there worth saving any more.

My Father passed away on 06/06/06. (My brother said he did it on purpose to give the devil the finger on D-day)

The very LAST time he voted was the very FIRST time he did NOT vote Democrat. He voted for Dubya. He finally understood.

Is it my imagination, or is Patraeus trying not to laugh?

LOLOLOL

Another sarcastic Dim, to give a lecture.

They both just sat there for a moment like “was that a question?”

What a dingbat! ("Sen, maybe you were not here......")

McCaskell is almost grinning as she tells of beating her opponent in Missouri by being anti-war. I’ll bet there was more to it than that, knowing Kansas City voting.

It should be Jim Talent in that seat, not McCaskill. Damn Mo. voters.

I’m so glad I’m no longer a citizen of MO. It’s gone from bad to worse.

But look where I ended up. It’s going from worse to “God help us”!

This fool McCaskill is asking these good men to talk about the BUDGET?

Poke a fork in her. She’s done.
