#4 I can see Whitaker taking a lot of 'high-fives' and supportive comments at the gym.

#5 He should have challenged them to a Trial of Grievance.

#6 My ONLY quibble with his actions is that he referred to Swalwell as Congressman. Their official title is Representative or Senator depending on what they are. Call them what they are.

#7 Ref #6: Yes, technically correct. File under separating fly shi* from pepper.

#8 #6 True, but it's common vernacular to refer to Reps as "Congressman/woman/xerson."

#9 I watched about 1/2 of the hearing. It was enjoyable to see Whitaker troll the Dems; otherwise a waste of time.

#10 Would it be appropriate to address him as "Representative of the honorable State of California?"

Maybe my point was too subtle. Members of Congress seem to wear the title of Congressman/-woman like a title of nobility. They are not nobility. I'm not influenced by "common vernacular". We, on the Right are all too willing to adopt the Lefts preferred language. Why? I have no idea. Much for the same reason as I refer to homo-sexuals as, homo-sexuals and not gays, Leftists as Leftists or Communists and not Liberals/Progressives...etc., I suggest we refer to our politicians as Representatives and Senators. Not as a sign of respect, but to remind them of their place.

#12 Valid point LC. Many of us are not wired for subtle. Apologies.

#13 Thank You Mr. Besoeker, no apologies required. I should have been more expansive in my first post.
