Ehhh, considering how much conservatives regularly attack Dem officials over their looks, I'm not too keen to badger this guy on his goofy rear end haircut through the years.

All I know is he was sweating pretty drat hard while getting his rear end beat tonight.

So when's the next pointless hearing going to happen, which will ultimately only make Hillary look like even more the responsible adult in the room?

They should stop calling them "Hearings", the Republicans are there to talk, not listen.

I don't know. While I'm usually against attacking people on their appearance I'm kind of ok with attacking a haircut. Its not a health or will power thing. Sure, its cheap but so is a decent haircut (at least relatively). I say making fun of haircuts is as fair game as making fun of a poor fitting suit or a terrible outfit. Its an easily changeable thing that simply shows a basic lack of concern.

Its not Trey Gowdy's fault his head is shaped that way or that he sweats a lot. But he could get a proper fitting suit and a styled hair cut and all it would take him would be one afternoon and a little cash. I'm sure he makes good money.

I'm pretty sure Gowdy said he was going to forge ahead after the hearing broke up.

Granted, that was his immediate response. Maybe someone talked to him afterwards and told him how much he hosed up and that this has to end. But my impression of Gowdy himself is that he feels he's in too deep and just has to power through until he finds something, gets voted out of office, or he or Hillary die. There's crazy determination in those eyes.

The Bengazi committee is Trey Gowdy's legacy now.

"I've seen horrors... horrors that you've seen. But you have no right to call me a murderer. You have a right to kill me. You have a right to do that... but you have no right to judge me. It's impossible for words to describe what is necessary to those who do not know what horror means. Horror... Horror has a face... and you must make a friend of horror. Horror and moral terror are your friends. If they are not, then they are enemies to be feared. They are truly enemies! I remember when I was with Special Forces... seems a thousand centuries ago. We went into a camp to inoculate some children. We left the camp after we had inoculated the children for polio, and this old man came running after us and he was crying. He couldn't see. We went back there, and they had come and hacked off every inoculated arm. There they were in a pile. A pile of little arms. And I remember... I... I... I cried, I wept like some grandmother. I wanted to tear my teeth out; I didn't know what I wanted to do! And I want to remember it. I never want to forget it... I never want to forget. And then I realized... like I was shot... like I was shot with a diamond... a diamond bullet right through my forehead. And I thought, my God... the genius of that! The genius! The will to do that! Perfect, genuine, complete, crystalline, pure. And then I realized they were stronger than we, because they could stand that these were not monsters, these were men... trained cadres. These men who fought with their hearts, who had families, who had children, who were filled with love... but they had the strength... the strength... to do that. If I had ten divisions of those men, our troubles here would be over very quickly. You have to have men who are moral... and at the same time who are able to utilize their primordial instincts to kill without feeling... without passion... without judgment... without judgment! Because it's judgment that defeats us." ~ Hillary Clinton
