Gowdy had just appeared on Sean Hannity's program to discuss a series of questions he asked of Obama White House officials regarding the early Russia investigation efforts. Remarking on the response of then-U.N. Ambassador Samantha Power to a question about the publicization of Michael Flynn's involvement with Russian envoy Sergey Kislyak, Gowdy said Power's answer "ought to scare the hell out of you."One disappointment after another: Darryl Issa, Trey Gowdy, Paul Ryan, Lindsey Graham - and, of course, my own North Carolina knucklehead senators, Tom Tillis and Richard Burr. It is a measure of how truly incompetent and beyond the pale the Democrat Party has become that it hasn't been able to sweep the Republicans away like the Prussians brushing aside the army of Emperor Napoleon III. The sorry state of education being what it is in this country, generating vast armies of ignorant, but hyper-partisan, leftists who infest every aspect of our culture and economy, I do not think time is on our side.
Appearing on the show shortly after Gowdy, [Rep. Matt] Gaetz sarcastically referred to "Trey Gowdy's exquisite questions in 2017 to these corrupt officials."
"Why was it then that in late May of 2018 that Trey Gowdy went on Martha MacCallum's show and said that the F.B.I. did exactly what all of our fellow Americans would have wanted them to do and it had nothing to do with Donald Trump?" Gaetz said....
"Unfortunately when [Rep. Devin] Nunes and [Rep. Mark] Meadows and [Rep. Jim] Jordan and I wanted subpoena power it was Paul Ryan and Trey Gowdy that wouldn't give us that subpoena power. Democrats sent out hundreds of subpoenas," he said.

Yeah, you want to explain that, Trey?
Most Republicans will always let you down in the crunch.

I thought that Gowdy was performing some sort of kabuki theater. His failure to issue a single subpoena, and his tendency to just yak on the boobtube is why. All talk, no walk.
I was not disappointed when he left congress.
His job was to rant about getting to the bottom of whatever Dem perfidy had the right riled up that week, not to actually get to the bottom of anything.
The GOP, when they had both houses of Congress, fought Trump just as hard as a DemCong would have.
Eh, at least Gowdy's exit forced Lyndsey Graham into the failure theater starring role.
The GOP, when they had both houses of Congress, fought Trump just as hard as a DemCong would have.
Especially with respect to rolling back illegal immigration. Ryan, particularly, was a study in passive-aggressive do-nothingism.
I think GOPe has actually made me angrier than the Democrats in recent years. It probably started, for me, during the fight against Obama Care. Weepy John Bohener and other party stalwarts should have been in front of the cameras everyday, tearing this legislation to pieces. Yet, aside from a few perfunctory "tut-tuts", he was nowhere to be seen. And then, when this horror was actually passed, his attitude was, "Well, it's now the law of the land, what're ya gonna do?" Truly, I don't believe I've been more furious with any politician in the last dozen years than when this lachrymose alcoholic lump of uselessness formally washed his hands of any additional responsibility for overturning this legislation.
I'll sound a note of optimism regarding the state of education.
The left has infested the institutes of higher learning here too, and they've been well entrenched for a decade or two. Or three. Or four.
If their students were genuinely catching the disease I believe The Great South Land would have become the People's Democratic Republic of Australia And The First Nations long ago. President for Life Bob Brown would be hanging on like Robert Mugabe and we'd all be wearing solar panels and windmills on our heads to power our mobile phones.
As it is, the idiot left as embodied by the Australian Labor Party took a thrashing at the federal election last year. So there's real room for hope.
I do wonder though, how many Liberal voters at the federal level are Labor voters at the state level?
I was born and live in Victoria Australia.
Shudder.
Uncle Ron.
Hey, Uncle Ron!
Born in Melbourne's western suburbs Ron, and grew up in the days of Sir Henry Bolte. I headed west as Joan Kirner was twisting the knife that John Cain had planted in the state's economy.
If Der Danfuhrer gets another term in office we'll have to rename Victoria as Northern Tasmania.
