many repubs. plan to tune out the hearings, say they do not keep up with reports. Isn't it their JOB to keep tabs on their leader? What WILL they be doing then, plotting to defend the indefensible? I bet all of these clowns watched every second of the Clinton bj fiasco. Now that their dear leader is accused of extortion, everything is brushed off. The gop never fails to "live down" to their reputation of attracting the least intelligent representatives.
