Where is the baby daddy or baby mama? I could conceivably understand if this were his own child. But this is his grandchild and presumably he is someone else’s responsibility.

That gave him an excuse to blame the baby for that smell he made when he realized Holder is in trouble and he s**t his pants.

The grandson, Nico, started crying while the congressman tried to ask Holder a question. I guess Watt should recuse himself. Heck, Nico should recuse himself too!

Even Holder looked at him like “what are you doing?”

I saw it. I couldn’t believe it. It was, in my opinion, totally out of line and totally inappropriate. Clearly a DUMB thing for this man to do. What was that I heard - a “sideshow”? Where did I hear that before? Hmmm, let me think......

Any distraction, any at all is helpful.
Truth be known kid is probably smarter than Watt.

Cute kid, but I think all kids are cute.
It’s the attention seeking, manipulative, corrupt, incompetent, pathological lying, white hating racist - craven lickspittle adults that I despise.
I wouldn’t be surprised to see Obama walking his dog through the proceedings.

Truth be known kid is probably smarter than Watt. Nico has plenty of years to unlearn everything, be emotional all the time, and never apply logic... he'll fit right in and become a 'Rat in no time!

If the hearing was some feel good moment that’s one thing, but this was a serious hearing and the guy just showed he thinks Congress is his personal playground.

Well, to be fair, Nico probably already is an active, registered voter. Probably in several precincts.

Nico was no doubt the most mature person on the Democrat side of that room.
To: rightwingintelligentsia
He couldn’t afford to hire a babysitter? What about those staffers? Heavens...they could use a few extra bucks, since it is claimed they can’t afford the Obamacare fees.
