When do Leahy and Specter do the work, respectively, of Vermont and Pennsylvania?  Why do the voters of these two great states continue to return these two to DC?

Every other day they appear, courtesy of CSPAN, squawking over witnesses seated miles lower than the senators lofty perches.  Leahy and Specter undoubtedly hope their tirades will be aired on prime-time network television in their continued effort to dismantle the Bush White House.

How many hours have they devoted to hearings asking innane questions such as "how often did you use this email address?"  How many hours have they devoted to reviewing staff notes prior to hearings, and to meeting with witnesses and others outside the committee room/

Where was their zealous pursuit of justice when Clinton lied before the grand jury?   Specter, a Republican, and lover of limelight no matter which party is in power, actually criticized Republicans for their role in impeaching then President Clinton.

I hope the good citizens of Pennyslvania and Vermont will count the cost of supporting two grandstanding senators, come to their senses, and replace them with legislators who are impassioned about serving on their behalf.
