Make You Sweat

I am a HUGE fan of Congressman Elijah Cummings as most of you know. The way he questions witnesses in Congressional hearings is just a thing of beauty to me.

Dig him going at Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke. I saw quite a few other Congress people question him but none of them seemed to pull it all together the way Cummings did.



I just wish he had a little more time. I am going to try to see if there is video of his second round of questioning. I have a feeling that it was worth the price of admission.

The Story That None Of The MSM Is Covering

In the rush to pat themselves on the back for their coverage of the AIG bonus scandal the mainstream media folks missed probably the best round of questioning of AIG CEO Edward Liddy and new information about more bonuses. Thats what happens when you already have a meme framed and are just looking for information to further it. Had the media stuck around for/paid attention to Rep Elijah Cummings' questions there might have been a lot of different headlines this morning.




One billion dollars of bonuses would seem a lot more compelling to me than $170 million dollars worth.
