if you don't like what you're hearing, walk out

Classy move -- Democrats are criticizing the Patriot Act and the GOP, led by Chairmen Sensenbrenner, just walk out, cutting off the microphones and ending the committee hearing. Watch the video, if traffic permits.

This is a nice demonstration of how most of today's Republican politicos view the world. We're in power, we don't have to listen to any of you, so go to hell. Not only that, we don't have to believe in science that is politically or religiously (same thing) inconvenient, we don't have to tell you who advised the White House on the energy policy that all Americans are paying for, who exposed a CIA agent to douchebag Bob Novak, how or why a gay male prostitute would get daily passes to White House press briefings, or any of that. Shut up and let your betters run things.
