US House Committee on Foreign Affairs had a full committee hearing on Oct. 21 in 2172 Rayburn House Office Building. The audience was not overflowing like the last meeting on Senate side, but still a good crowd. I felt sorry for Chairman, Rep. Berman having to hold the committee with so many whacko Republicans ( I didn't say 'conservative' becos Judson is a conservative himself ) but whacko Republican haters. I can report that Rep. Ros-Lehtinen yawned in the face of Asst. Sec. Campbell at least 8 times... and that Rep. Rohrabacher hates Obama more than he hates the Burma regime... and no one knows how to pronouce Burmese name...s - ing kwak yuu foo... what the ? c'mon staffers fill in your bosses with the info... and way too many staffers snickering... that's why Colin Powell went off on y'all. Asst. Sec. Campbell was quite the gentleman though and answered all the questions/attacks with intelligent replies. But he won't really know what's up until he visits Myanmar which he says will be in "a few weeks".
( Beyonce has nothing to do with this story... but she's so hot... and I forgot to take my camera to the hearing... )
