The Democrat controlled Congress is making sure their message is heard at the start of Valerie Plame’s congressional hearings. Watching Plame’s opening testimony before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee this morning, what appeared to be a man dressed in a pink women’s outfit with a pink t-shirt that read, “IMPEACH BUSH NOW,” was carefully positioned in full view sharing the screen with Plame’s head.
Assuming that space is limited at a congressional hearing, that a fairly high level of security is maintained and that an equally high standard of decorum is expected, it seems almost incredible that such a sophmoric freak-show would be allowed. That is, until a couple of very important points are factored in.
First, the Pink Monster in Drag is not a freak-show to Democrats – he/she is what their party has become. The Democrat members of Congress who control this hearing are the ones who are disguised. In reality, many of them yearn to comport themselves as the Pink Monster does.
And second, Democrats are using the Pink Monster to telegraph what these hearings are really all about – an opening salvo in the official battle to impeach the President.
