I suppose Robert Romano asks a good question. Though I think the better question would be, “Once Obama invokes executive privilege on the IRS documents, will the GOP do more than put on a pubic show of outrage?”
My answer, as I’ve stated before, is no. I believe this to be all theater. And I think that because I believe any serious independent investigation into the IRS matter will show that the Rove establishment Bushclingers in Congress either turned a blind eye to IRS abuse of the TEA Party, or else actively engaged in similar behavior — not against Democrats, but likewise against TEA Party groups.
Is that a baseless charge?
Dunno. Nobody will do any serious investigating, so all I have to go on is the GOP establishment’s attempt, with the help of big Democrat donors, to “re-brand” as “conservative” the moderate wing of the GOP, pushing actual conservatives to the fringes, while simultaneously backing virtually all the same policy initiatives, when all is said and done (either by choice or through capitulation) as the statist progressives they’ve begun more and more to emulate.
So. Prove me wrong, you big ball of orange leather. You slowly deflating basketball with hair and an unusual ability to weep on cue.
Yes, I’m talking to you, Johnny B. If you wanted to get to the bottom of all the perfidy you’d be acting as if you did. And we can all see that you are not, protestations and cover from GOP cheerleaders notwithstanding.
will the GOP do more than put on a pubic show of outrage?
Ten bux says the Establicans don’t even manage that.
There are no such concepts as accountability and justice in DC. The wacko birds will only further the phony investigations of these phony scandals until such a time as they receive a bone or waiver for themselves or their districts.
A pubic show? That’s Democrat territory!
True story: I do a lot of work in public finance, and something that made me very popular when I first started with the company was showing my cow-orkers how to remove “pubic” from their Office dictionaries, thus assuring that any instance of the word would be flagged. Many embarrassments were thus avoided…
Many embarrassments were thus avoided…
…and discovered, perhaps?
The way I see it, any memos that went out thanking “our valued partners in the pubic sector” were doing it on purpose. I’d like to think there were a lot fewer of them, but I can’t say the number was zero.
For the record, I’m very good about thanking my pubic sector associates; I just don’t do it on the company letterhead.

The GOP is all hair and no balls.

That’s it right there. The Republican leadership wants to be rid of them pesty Teagaggers as badly as Democrats. Perhaps the GOP should redesign their logo to something like this:

This should go in some hall of fame or other, IMO.
– Cosmo Alligretti has fled this mortal coil, which for those that aren’t amiliar with the name, is one “Captain Kangaroo”.
– Aside from childhood memories, I seem to recall a kerfluffle that arose during one of his radio shows, wherein he was caught on an open mic when he thought the show was in a station break, bemoaning a very bad migrain he was suffering from a night-before booze binge by making the comment “damn….these headaches are killig me, but that should hold the little bastards for another day….”
– Of course these were the days of oddball lapses being seen as “bloopers”, not life and death crimes against an Uber-PC thin skinned oh-so-sensitive babied electorate.

I can’t help feeling somewhat victimized, and here in my Safe Place and all. What, my monthly contributions aren’t enough to keep the attack dogs leashed, Mr. Goldstein? :)
You’re so vain, you probly think that Beach Boys song was about you…

Capt. Kangaroo was 86 when I was watching the show, 40 years ago.
Cosmo played characters on the show.
OK, Robert Keeshan was 86 ten years ago, when he died. He only seemed 86 when I was a kid.
– Actually di I worded that poorly. Cosmos is credited with inventing the character, along with a boatload of others, but if you’re right the timing seems off.
what happened to mr green jeans?
If he does (invoke executive privilege) will it matter if a Tea Party organization files civil suit against him?
Jones v Clinton would suggest Obama may have to ante up.
He got married and had a son, Frank Zappa.

BBH, Snopes says that is a legend.
Up until the weeping part, and as described a much smaller version of course, you had Johnny B nailed as Pinball’s alien.
The Kingston Trio version from 1958 though was dedicated to a J. Bradley IIRC.
Pinback in “Dark Star?”
Yes, geoffb.
Damned Droid autocorrect~!
