REPUBLICAN CIVILITY?

This is the way these people work:

On Thursday June 16, 2005, from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. in the Wasserman Room at 430 S Capitol St. SE, Washington, D.C., Rep. John Conyers, Jr., Ranking Member of the House Judiciary Committee, and other Congress Members will hold a hearing on the Downing Street Minutes and related evidence of efforts to cook the books on pre-war intelligence.

The hearings are being held at the Democratic National Committee because the Republicans controlling the House Judiciary Committee refused to permit the ranking Democratic Member to use a room on the Hill. Nonetheless, Republicans are welcome to attend.

Somebody, quick, quote me a wingnut talking about how Dems have "lowered the tone" of the national conversation. We've lowered it, all right. Lowered it to almost freaking-mute-setting (can't be heard when the Rethugs shut off the microphones, eh?).
