- when he finally spoke
- just the highlights

Skelton's comments at -3:25 are priceless. Particularly about Congressman Burton (the doofus who tries to tell the chairman how to run his session).

They are always having serious issues with thier sound system... after viewing many of these issues and watching various speakers talking away into a dead mic (usually because someone at the sound board is not paying attention) I would fire the sound engineers there and replace them with a competent crew or at the least repremand them into line. Of course it must be a big project to man the sound system at the house and senate.. could it be that they are understaffed? Who knows....

My question is why wasn't Petraeus sworn in?

what a circus

talking about the pink folks at t-3:25 is hilarious. calls them assholes. they discuss kicking out the whole group, then Hunter asks for a latte ...

you can see them on cspan a lot, wearing funny clothes in the background while Gonzales was being grilled, for instance.

Maybe if we hadn't flushed 1/2 trillion dollars down the toilet of our illegal occupation of Iraq, our government could afford a decent fucking sound system.

Ex CIA and current dissenter Ray Mcgovern was in the crowd and got kicked out for mentioning that they should swear Petraeus in. This is one of their most important testimonies and the whole thing is a clusterfuck. I love CSPAN, they just let the cameras roll and these jackasses don't realize it.

LOL, CSPAN has a censor button for protestors yelling "War Criminal" and "Terrst". It's like live radio but for dissent. How long can it possibly take to fix a mic?

I love how the old coots say I "see people" who look like they might disturb the hearing. Was facist "public servants"
