Odd, isn't it?

What I'm suggesting is that this be handled in a serious manner by the justice department, rather than by grandstanding politicians who can barely keep the gleeful smiles off their faces while screaming "what did he know and when did he know it." Rather than being genuinely concerned with the outcome, many of these politicians are using this solely for political gain, and that is sickening to me.
I take it that if a Democrat is both genuinely disgusted by what Foley, Hastert et al. did and also thinks that it's a reason to elect more Democrats to Congress so that Hastert will not be the next speaker and Boehner will not be the next majority leader, that's OK? Your problem is that you can somehow tell that it's the Democrats here who aren't genuinely concerned with the children, and not the the Republicans using children as human shields? (Have you seen anything from a Democrat on this issue half as offensive as that clip?)

eta: For the record, I have no problem with the Justice Department handling things in a serious manner, but I do object to the times they get all silly.
