    Congressional Hearings...good lord.

    It appears that an insulting roast is at hand. The communication obstacle makes it quite interesting. Another aspect that these types of things reveal is how aweful SOME of our representatives truly are. I cannot help but wonder, if this was GM, if the same types of efforts would be...
