Kevin Brady (R-TX8) was WAY over the top today in his questioning of Treasury Sec Timothy Geithner, and I say that as one who blamed Geithner for letting Lehman Bros go under and I ranted extensively on this forum against Geithner's nomination and confirmation.  But Brady was disgraceful today.

I don't see any problem in that video other than Geithner being a dirtbag as usual. Notice how Geithner says outright "it is a great privilege to serve this president"; he doesn't give a crap about serving the interests of this country.

My congressman embarrasses me on a regular basis for real reasons. I see nothing wrong with Brady in that video. I kept waiting for something offensive to happen, but it never did.

I would hope NY-13 is embarrassed of Rep. McMahon.

Kevin Brady is a deeply misguided fool. He reminds me of those Senators in the 1930's who wanted to "ban gambling on the stock market, but keep investing legal", and the example used was "I lost money on the stock market. Clearly that's bad gambling. It should be outlawed." I am not kidding, that was an actual line of reasoning used by a Senator.

It should be, but the GOP is likely going to botch up the campaign once again to give McMahon an easy victory.

I guess my former congressman kind of embarrassed me when he mentioned my name (not in the form of Ronnie) on the house floor...Oh, well, I don't want to get into that. Tongue

In every other aspect, my congressman embarrasses me very much.

It is IMPOSSIBLE to be too severe with Geithner!

You should be embarrassed with yourself for advocating that the average taxpayer be saddled with the cost of bailing out the fat cat executives (which is exactly what Geithner did).

Yes, the stockholders got destroyed.

But, the corporate executives got away with economic murder, courtesy of Geithner and associates.

That's cool. I can hopefully meet him this coming year before the election. Seems like a smart guy, and of course anyone would have been better than Pombo.
