If as Bit wrote the ‘Rats in general are having flashbacks [1] to Vietnam, Henry Waxman(D-CA) was just having hot flashes.
Dana Milbank, Washington Post, writes of democrats so long out of power, so rusty, and I might add so old, that they were reduced to firing Olbermannes [2]:
It was to have been the grudge match Democrats waited years for: The ferocious Rep. Henry Waxman (D-Calif.), newly installed as chairman of the committee, was to flex his new oversight muscles by summoning Bremer to account for his actions while running Iraq in 2003 and 2004.
But Bremer proved unexpectedly agile at shifting blame: to administration planners (“The planning before the war was inadequate”), his superiors in the Bush administration (“We never had sufficient support”), and the Iraqi people (“The country was in chaos — socially, politically and economically”).
