Did this Timothy Roemer want her to answer any questions or is he only there to grill her and interrupt her when she tries to answer? When she gets a word in edgewise, he pretends she's responding to a different question than the one she was asked.
I thought this was supposed to be something real - now I realize it's just another partisan witch-hunt by the loser Democrats. What a bunch of

"Dr. Rice, considering one of the terrorists was your boyfriend and you helped him plan 9-11, do you now intend to file for his Social Security benefits?"
"Dr. Rice, how did you feel after you flew those planes into the World Trade Center?"

Well, no - but this guy just kept coming across with a bunch of accusations and, when Rice tried to answer or correct him, he'd interrupt her and go on to another accusation.
I have a transcript that says you're wrong:
http://wid.ap.org/transcripts/rice.html
Did you happen to catch Bob Kerrey's grilling of Dr. Rice? He started off by saying he believes military ops in Iraq are way off track and there's no chance of success over there. In fact, several of the partisan nutballs gave soapbox commentary instead of simply asking questions and letting her answer them.
I don't find it amusing at all. This was supposed to be a serious security hearing, not an opportunity to smack a Republican around. Ben-Veniste, Kerrey and Roemer turned it into a partisan circus and I'm embarrassed that American people are so retarded that they'd even elect these bickering children to public office in the first place.
Typical political lawyer style slam job. Ask a yes or no question that does not adequately describe the situation and then run over the answer that you didn't really want to begin with. Seems to me that this world would work better if we all remembered we have twice as many ears as mouths and so should listen twice as much as we talk.
Why? Did you believe the Democrats were really going to conduct a fair and impartial hearing? Did you believe they were honestly interested in finding the breakdown that allowed 9-11?
It's okay, Buddy - don't be hurt. I used to believe these folks had the best interests of the country at heart, too.

I think it was non-partisan as they said it was. Dont be so quick on the defense when someone attacks your party, otherwise your no better than the dems.
I think the transcript speaks for itself as to the partisanship of some of the commission members.
Let's see - "Don't go on the defense when you're attacked." Very interesting.

Can you honestly say that the republicans would have just sat around. I think not. They got in an uproar over a lie about a blow job. They would have been just as bad if that's what you think the dems were doing to Rice today. I think it was good that they used force in their questioning.
If you want to say this was a partisan event then go ahead. The dems had their fun in attacking (according to you) but the republicans were also being partisan in that they just asked the soft questions to Rice and paved a nice happy brick road for her to cruise on.

If I was her...after 3 or 4 times of them doing what was quoted here from the transcripts.
I would have eventually stood up and said, "Look you creepy little bastards. If you want to know what happened pre 9/11, I'll tell you. If you don't want to know and you just want to sit here and ignore my responses just so you can throw mud on this administration, then I'm not going to testify any longer. Please give President Bush a call when you're ready."
And then I woulda walked out.
