What We Voted For

MANIFESTO

Highlights from this morning's House of Representatives' Government Reform Committee hearing featuring General Services Administration Chief Lurita Doan are all over the Internet, and a sordid clip it is.

However, as imbecilic as Ms. Doan looks in the hearing, it's good to see the type of accountability Democrats are insisting upon. Without a Democratic majority in the Congress, it's clear that the Bushies would have used—with impunity!—every entity at their disposal (including, obviously, the General Services Administration and the Department of Justice) to so pervert the electoral process that the two-party system in America would surely have been destroyed.

UPDATE — Kevin Drum also highlights this phenomenon.
