ARRRGH!\u00c2\u00a0 Computer shut down after lovily crafting a beautiful post.\u00c2\u00a0 Second time within just a few days.\u00c2\u00a0 Okay… shorter and sweeter.<\/p>\n

Monica Goodling’s testimony this past week?\u00c2\u00a0 Bizarre.\u00c2\u00a0 You already knew that.\u00c2\u00a0 She came out, and was a strange bubbly-headed figurine.\u00c2\u00a0 Yet, even within that bubbly-head exterior, she threw out plenty of incriminations.\u00c2\u00a0 Understand, it didn’t have the same impact as last week’s testimony from Comey — which was jar-dropping and of an order that Goodling’s typical political shenanigans cannot possibly match.<\/p>\n

What should be immortalized is the grilling from the hands at Bobby Scott<\/a>, which drew the headlines of “Crossed the Line” but also provided the straight ahead ammunition of clarifying “Rules.\u00c2\u00a0 Law.”\u00c2\u00a0 And again, no “Rules.\u00c2\u00a0 Law.”\u00c2\u00a0 “Rules.\u00c2\u00a0 Law.”<\/p>\n

An interesting dichotomy Goodling did not want to mess around with.<\/p>\n

The other explosive tidbit, which enforced her aggrivated parodic persona, came when she was asked what her qualifications were.\u00c2\u00a0 Her answer?\u00c2\u00a0 Student Body President.\u00c2\u00a0 (At Pat Robertson’s Regency Unveristy, naturally.)\u00c2\u00a0 Nuttily, when pressed for further qualifications, her second answer belied the truth behind the matter: yes, opposition research for the RNC.\u00c2\u00a0 This was the story of her testimony: she came out as an airhead, and said information that if you scratch away the presentation, is galling to say the least.<\/p>\n

I begin to suspect that this slate article<\/a> states the story behind the story well enough: she is crazy like a fox, and this was all an act.\u00c2\u00a0 I also suspect that what we saw was we get.\u00c2\u00a0 Either way it’s not a good scene.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
