Let's Have Some Real Hearings

Don't you just love how our politicians summon people before them and then grill them on what they've done? Bankers, auto execs, anyone who has fallen into disfavor with the public is brought before the congressional inquisition to answer for their sins.

Yet, the least favored group, the politicians themselves, never submit to such hearings. Why are they not called to answer, and answer directly? If they are ever questioned, it is by their own kind or the eunuchs of the fourth estate and whatever honor there is among thieves presides over those Q & As.

It's time to have a board of non-politicians with the power to subpoena and interrogate these sanctimonious stooges. Perhaps then, we can finally regain control of our government.
