''The Salahis, like Obama, are of their time and place. Obama was launched by the Queen of Kitsch, day-time talker Oprah Winfrey. He now sits at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. It's entirely fitting that a supermarket culture should have representation at the White House.''
It took a little over a
week. In no time at all, Congress convened to hold hearings into an event that has left Americans – or the few remaining souls not cyber stalking Tiger Woods – deeply shaken.
And no, the "dreadful" event I am talking about is not the massacre perpetrated by the jihadi, Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, at Fort Hood, where 43 military personnel paid a cruel price for the criminal negligence of their superiors.
No one will be convening on Capitol Hill to hear who was culpable for that savagery. Not any time soon.
The investigation into the killing of 13 soldiers and the wounding of 30 by the Muslim serviceman who was coddled by the military and intelligence establishments has been consigned to a commission of inquiry that will, indubitably, exercise great political dexterity in killing accountability. For now, Hasan has been airbrushed out of the story.
The hearings ongoing at the time of writing will probe a far more urgent matter than mass murder on a military base by a fifth columnist.
As I write, The House Homeland Security Committee is investigating the infiltration of the White House by Tareq and Michaele Salahi. The two reality TV "stars" had crashed – or livened up – President Obama's first White House state dinner on Tuesday, Nov. 24. By Thursday, Dec. 3, our generally dysfunctional representatives and their proxies had summonsed the players in that farce to an inquisition on The Hill. Without much success, mind you. The only witness scheduled Thursday was the director of the Secret Service, Mark Sullivan, who hastened to fall on his sword. http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=117859
