I agree with almost all you say here. Far be it from me to defend the prominent proboscidean pore, but apparently (?) after the depositions were taken, Waxman floated the idea of not having the live hearing and just issuing a report. Also apparently (?) Clemens attorneys (aka the idiots) demanded the hearing be held. Give Waxman props for belatedly recognizing the uselessness of the actual hearing. Give Clemens' attorneys the idiot badge for demanding the hearing be held.
