Came in late on Sec of Trans Ray LaHood's House testimony. Lots of cordial laughter, apparently over how long he'd been there, and how many times he'd been asked the same questions. Why is it that humor for Republicans like LaHood always includes humiliation or death? What's there in Toyata's cars killing people and his party and department doing nothing about it to laugh about.
As for competence, the last questioner was Rep Jackie Speier of CA. She asked how many software engineers NHTSA has. This is a question that's been asked in several articles over that last few days. How tough would it have been for LaHood to find out before this hearing. Apparently, the over 200 computers under the hood of new every car sold these days are of no concern to mister LaHood, so he doesn't care how many people are on his staff who are competent to analyze them.
What is it with Republicans? They want the power, but not to do anything except keep it away from the other party.
