Back doors

Via the Alternate Brain Mail Bag:

Senate Republicans are holding a sham hearing today on the rising cost of gasoline and heating oil, rejecting Democratic efforts to force the oil company executives to testify under oath. Why are Republicans - who receive millions of dollars in campaign contributions from oil companies - flat-out refusing to force the executives to be sworn in? Why won't Senate Republicans demand the truth? What are Republicans and their executive donors trying to hide? [Link]

When they can say anything they want, why bother holding a fucking hearing to begin with?
