CSPAN is televising this morning's 9/11 hearings with Powell and Armitage. Commissioner Richard Ben-Viniste has just presented Armitage a document to take back to the White House, along with a list of previous White House advisers who have testified at Congressional hearings, to let the administration know that their Condi can't testify because it would breach the separation of powers rule is a load of crap. It got a round of applause from whoever the public audience at the hearings is, and a huffy, indignant, pugnacious look from Armitage. (Other than that, it doesn't look like these guys are being made too uncomfortable by anyone on the Worthless Commission.)
Armitage has that Dick Cheney creepy kind of look. Only he doesn't look like he's capable of being devious - just mean - in a B movie hit man kind of way.
Actually, his pictures are almost flattering after watching him live and hearing him speak.
He may not be the most repugnant person in the world. But he can see the top rung from where he is.
Thing One and Thing Two.
And Sally and I
Did not know what to do.
So we had to shake hands
With Thing One and Thing Two.
We shook their two hands.
But our fish said, "No! No!
Those Things should not be
In this house! Make them go!
Then those Things ran about
With big bumps, jumps and kicks
And with hops and big thumps
And all kinds of bad tricks.
-- Dr. Seuss, "The Cat in the Hat"
....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
