I'm watching the beginning of the HRC SFRC hearing on CSPAN [View all]
I knew JK wouldn't be chairing, but I'm not sure if he's there at all. I didn't spot him during the setup, but he may be there in some capacity? Sen. Menendez gave a good opening statement, though he'll take some getting used to -- I'll miss JK's gimlet gaze.
I hadn't been paying attention to who the new members of the committee will be and found an article about it here: http://thecable.foreignpolicy.com/posts/2013/01/03/sfrc_gets_four_new_republicans
McCain, Flake, Johnson and Paul -- if I were JK, I'd want to hightail it out of that cesspool, too -- especially after hearing Corker's (the new ranking member, farewell to the courtly Lugar) opening statement today, which was graceless and sour. Yikes, what a crew!
Looking forward to JK's hearing tomorrow, even if just to see him in that chamber one more time.
