Hit the Road, Jack (Democratic Version)
[Guest post by DRJ]
One Democratic Congressional chairman is reportedly so upset that Republican committee members won’t agree to ignore sweetheart deals with Countrywide Mortgage that he resorted to locking Republicans out of the meeting room:
“Rep. Edolphus Towns (D-N.Y.) locked Republicans out of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee room to keep them from meeting when Democrats aren’t present.
Towns’ action came after repeated public ridicule from the leading Republican on the committee, Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), over Towns’s failure to launch an investigation into Countrywide Mortgage’s reported sweetheart deals to VIPs.”
The lock-out followed a GOP staffers’ video showing the Democrats refusing to meet for a vote on Countrywide subpoenas and then leaving through a back door:

JD (a79cd7) — 10/20/2009 @ 7:20 pmNo wonder Iran and the North Koreans are laughing at us. When they see the nation’s Democrat leaders are too cowardly to face even an inquiry into sweetheart home loans, they rightly conclude the Obama Administration is too frightened to confront even a crooked politician, or a low grade bully, much less an armed aggressor.

The only reason terrorists haven’t taken out D.C. is that their best assistance comes from congress and the white house. The don’t want to kill the golden Goose. That may change when they realize just how weak the D.C. crowd is. Kill half of them and the other half would reward the terrorists.

daleyrocks (718861) — 10/20/2009 @ 8:33 pmWith the way he is handling this, Mr. Towns is assurred of complimentary drinks from those Senators from Countrywide, Mr. Dodd and Mr. Conrad, who desperately need to keep a lid on this scandal.
