Another cloudy day…

Here it is chilly and damp again with 95 degree plus days promised starting Sunday. And, my sinuses are acting up big time – bring on the Sudafed.

Well, most of the area is on alert for tomorrow’s Senate hearings. Some of my most vivid memories are of Senate hearings.

• The first being the Army-McCarthy hearings in 1954. I remember it being on our family’s giant Zenith short wave radio. We were in France then.
• And, of course Watergate in 1973 – I had just moved to DC and was working as a contractor to the Navy and the White House Communications Agency.
• Next I remember Iran Contra Hearing and Oliver North ca 1987. Was later happy to vote against Ollie when he ran for the Senate.
• In 1991, there was Anita Hill and Clarence Thomas at the Judiciary Committee Hearing. 
• The Clinton impeachment  hearings in 1998-1999.

Will this one match the others in drama. And great lines. “Have you no sense of decency?…”   “What did the president know, and when did he know it?” “It depends on what the definition of is is…”

Laissez les bons temps rouler  (Sorry Laurent, I don’t think this is good French – but it is good Cajun.)
