VIDEO MONTAGE: Lurita Doan Has A Horrible Memory (Except About Cookies)
Today, GSA administrator Lurita Doan testified in front of the House Oversight and Government Reform committee about her potentially illegal activities, such as encouraging agency employees to help Republican candidates in elections and granting a no-bid contract to a personal friend.
Coincidentally enough, she couldn’t remember anything (except that “there were cookies on the table” at one of her meetings). We put together a montage of her pitiful testimony. Watch it:
More video from the hearing HERE and HERE. Firedoglake was liveblogging all day.

Where’s a troll to tell us that Doan is “sorta hot?”
March 28th, 2007 at 4:27 pmWhat kind of cookies?
March 28th, 2007 at 4:30 pmmmmmm coooookiiiiiieeeessss
March 28th, 2007 at 4:30 pm“Come to the darkside. We have cookies.”
March 28th, 2007 at 4:30 pmMemory Lapse appears to be a symptom of all of these criminals in Bush’s House of Horrors White House! I say “out with them all” since they can’t seem to remember what they had to eat the meal before!
What a bunch of fools parading before the american people these Bushie stoolies are! Do they think people are stupid? I say that memory lapse is NOT a defense; rather, using whatever prima facie evidence they have on Doan-Groan, it will be enough to indict her for violation of the Hatch Act.
I see a multitude of facial reconstruction surgeries in anyone who took orders from Bush and his Cabal and broke the law - that, along with prison time - and these folks are finito!
March 28th, 2007 at 4:32 pmWas she stoned for these meetings? She doesn’t remember anything anyone says, but she remembers that there were cookies.
March 28th, 2007 at 4:32 pmfor the sake of the nation, maybe she should find a job that involves cookies and not abusing government. especially if she’s got a bad memory.
March 28th, 2007 at 4:33 pmLurita and Gonzo sittin’ in the chair
March 28th, 2007 at 4:33 pmI-M-P-E-A-C-H
First come the lies
Then come the hearings
Then comes the moment that you all been fearing
These people (almost the entire administration by now) need a lifetime supply of Ginkgo biloba for their piss-poor memory.
March 28th, 2007 at 4:33 pmIt’s clear that the more of an idiot and imbecile a person is, the greater their chances of being selected to fill one of Bushie’s posts in this government. Of course, Bush’s overblown ego won’t allow anyone to be smarter than he is so I guess we’re about to find out that most appointees of his have an IQ in the EMH range (educable mentally handicapped).
March 28th, 2007 at 4:33 pmNowhere in What Color Is My Parachute did it tell me I could get a job by highlighting my retention problems and poor performance under stress. Lurita should write a book: So What If Your Parachute Is Full of Holes.
March 28th, 2007 at 4:34 pmOf course, Doan’s admission that “all she recalls is that there were cookies for the people” at this function clearly indicates her agreement that the function DID occur - and with the paper evidence (and hearsay from insider whistleblowers coming out by the minute) they have, to coin Rummy’s favorite phrase, this case should be a “slam dunk” and net Doan-baby some time in the “big house”.
March 28th, 2007 at 4:36 pmNice Reagan impersonation…
March 28th, 2007 at 4:37 pmWhere’s a troll to tell us that Doan is “sorta hot?â€
March 28th, 2007 at 4:38 pm- - Ugh. I wouldn’t do her with Jake’s snake.
for the sake of the nation, maybe she should find a job that involves cookies and not abusing government. especially if she’s got a bad memory.
Comment by pgw — March 28, 2007 @ 4:33 pm
So true. Maybe this should have been said to her. It would have gotten a laugh at the hearings.
March 28th, 2007 at 4:38 pmFrom wiki:
“Doan also generated consternation within her agency and on Capitol Hill with her proposals to curb the agency’s contract audits and to cut the inspector general’s budget by $5 million. The audits, which aim to ensure that the government is getting the best prices for goods and services, have saved taxpayers more than $1 billion over the past two years, the inspector general’s office reported.”[3]
I heart wikipedia, it never forgets!
March 28th, 2007 at 4:39 pmWow she is sort of hot!
March 28th, 2007 at 4:40 pmShe’s sorta hot in a “had at least 6 beers” sorta way.
March 28th, 2007 at 4:41 pmMs. Doan is merely carrying out the grand Republican tradition of not remembering.
“I don’t remember. Period.” Ronald Reagan 2/20/87.
March 28th, 2007 at 4:41 pmAll my bags are packed, I’m ready to go
I’m standin’ here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye
But the dawn is breakin’, it’s early morn
The taxi’s waitin’, he’s blowin’ his horn
Already I’m so lonesome I could die
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you’ll wait for me
Hold me like you’ll never let me go
‘Cause I’m leaving on a jet plane
I don’t know when I’ll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go
PINK SLIP FOR YOU Ms. DOAN
March 28th, 2007 at 4:42 pmWas she stoned for these meetings? She doesn’t remember anything anyone says, but she remembers that there were cookies.
Comment by thehim — March 28, 2007 @ 4:32 pm
I think she remebers the cookies because there was an “extra ingredient” in them, if you know what I mean
March 28th, 2007 at 4:42 pmShe hot if your into the Stepford wife butt plug wearing dominatrix thing……so I have heard.
March 28th, 2007 at 4:45 pmThere you liberals go again, believing everyone’s the same as you, painting everyone with the same blanket, thinking people only think with their heads in meetings. What you don’t realize is, to paraphrase Colbert:
Republicans like Doan think with their gut, and her gut told her there were cookies.
March 28th, 2007 at 4:46 pmIf we talk for too long, I’ll forget how we started. Next time I see you, I’m not gonna remember this conversation. I don’t even know if I’ve met you before.
March 28th, 2007 at 4:47 pmWhat a fine true patriot for the rape public cans she is. A real piece of work.
March 28th, 2007 at 4:48 pmThis woman is either a lying B or our government is lined with massive unbearable stupidity.
Guys, Let’s stay away from critiquing her looks - that’s tacky and lame.
But someone with such poor memory really should not be head of the GSA - she should be the head of a far more important agency like DOD or CIA.
March 28th, 2007 at 4:52 pmComment by Your Conscience
Great.
Now I have that song stuck in my head. (grrr)
March 28th, 2007 at 4:53 pmAnd how the crap is she getting tax dollars with such a bad memory?
I want this criteria to be part of my interview.
“What’s on your resume?”
“I honestly don’t recall that information…But I may have been eating cookies whilst I wrote it.”
“You are hired; welcome to the oval office.”
She doesn’t deserve her job. It doesn’t matter whether we’re all perfect or not, this is stuff that as part of her job she should be remembering! If she isn’t remembering, she isn’t qualified. End of story.
March 28th, 2007 at 4:53 pmLurita Doan
March 28th, 2007 at 4:53 pmSquirmed groaned
could not recall
anything at all
the color of her dress
makings of her mess
bids and friends
beginning or end
words spoken
peoples joking
what she saw
heard about law
in her defense
she kept her scent
recalled the cookies
How strange and spooky
Pssst…. (I bet she really doesn’t have a poor memory, and is just lying)
March 28th, 2007 at 4:54 pm“What do you mean by that? What do you mean ‘am I ashamed’? What is shame?”
L.D.
March 28th, 2007 at 4:55 pmI don’t believe a word of it. This woman built a highly successful dot.com company from the ground up. She has a Bachelors from Vassar and a Masters in Renaissance Lit from University of Tennessee. There is simply no way she’s this vacant. “I only remember the cookies.” Bull. Shit.
She is lying through her teeth and following some attorney’s orders: “Tell them you don’t remember.”
March 28th, 2007 at 4:55 pm#10 Veritas
I would say their IQ is in the DSS range. DUHbya’s Shoe Size!
I can believe her story. I ate some cookies back in the Sixties and lost my recollection for about two years. I do remember the cookies and a sign post that said Haight-Ashbury–I think!
March 28th, 2007 at 4:55 pmHonestly. Honestly. Honestly.
When I hear someone say “honestly”, it’s a safe bet that everything else they’ve said is probably a lie.
March 28th, 2007 at 4:55 pmI foresee a Saturday Night Live Sketch with wig and glasses and ALL
March 28th, 2007 at 4:55 pmpitiful….
March 28th, 2007 at 4:57 pmGuys, lets stay away from crituiqing her memory - that’s tacky and lame.
But her choice of Armanni with pumps is sooooooo last season. Whats with her CZ, she can afford a real stone.
March 28th, 2007 at 4:58 pmPart of me feels bad for her–she obviously knows she’s going to jail. On the other hand, well, she broke the law. It’s not like she doesn’t deserve it.
March 28th, 2007 at 4:58 pmI don’t remember. Period.†Ronald Reagan 2/20/87.

Comment by ForTruth
No way, For Truth.
This is the upstanding George Bush White House.
;)
It must be all Clinton’s fault.
March 28th, 2007 at 4:59 pmAlzheimers patients can now find high paying lucrative jobs in the White House. Please contact Lurita Doan
March 28th, 2007 at 4:59 pmI don’t see how you can watch that and not consider Tom Davis’s roll as anything but irreprehensible. He suggests (as well as others) that since 20K is petty change that it at best is trivial and this all constitutes a witch hunt. Waxman is correct in that the law is the law!
March 28th, 2007 at 4:59 pmHow unfair to Doan, who of course could remember what she ate–cookies!
March 28th, 2007 at 5:00 pmThe GOP only hires dumb criminals who can’t even lie their way out of the lie.
March 28th, 2007 at 5:00 pmClyde,
You wild child, you!
I’m impressed.
March 28th, 2007 at 5:01 pmobviously another corrupt criminal public servant. at this rate,

of all the anti corruption groups 30 years ago, nothing has
changed and in my books, unless they show truth and integrity
their all a bunch of crooks
She is the female version of Michael Brown. Heckuva job, Doanie!

March 28th, 2007 at 5:08 pmWhat does she f**kn know… just cookies and coming in late to the meeting? What a bimbo. And to think that my tax dollars pay for her pay check. Her job is way over her head. She shows no leadership qualities. Just another s**k up feeding off the government teet.
March 28th, 2007 at 5:10 pmShe doesn’t even remember last night, or my voice when I call her. I’m hurt I tell ya.
Comment by ForTruth
That is the best! I’m in hysterics over here!
March 28th, 2007 at 5:11 pmActually she looks like Milhouse’s Mom (on the Simpson’s) who is, actually, supposed to be, kinda hot.
March 28th, 2007 at 5:11 pmI sorta’ feel sorry for her.
March 28th, 2007 at 5:12 pmi have absolutely no recollection …
i have absolutely no recollection …
yeah keep on rockin’ in the free world
i hope she goes to jail for a long long long time …

LOL
March 28th, 2007 at 5:13 pmGood one
i fought the law … and the law won
jail time baby
March 28th, 2007 at 5:15 pmso pathetic.
March 28th, 2007 at 5:16 pmThe cookies thing is so funny. I love it when people can’t remember violations of the law, but can remember inane details like cookies.
What’s even better is that to give someone cookies is a phrase often used to describe giving something that is inadequate. For instance, an employee asks his boss for a raise “Hi boss, I think I deserve a raise,” and instead the boss gives the employee cookies “You might deserve a raise, but no. Do you want a cookie.”
In this case, congress wants her memory of a pretty serious (and illegal) matter, and she literally responds with memories of cookies.
You can’t script it any worse.
March 28th, 2007 at 5:16 pmI love live blogging commentary with video.
That’s why I would never make a good jurist. I can’t help but make the same kinds of faces as the young woman chewing gum and sitting behind Lurita Doan made each time Ms. Doan tried to describe one of her past life regressions.
March 28th, 2007 at 5:16 pmThe standard answers seem to be “I plead the 5th” or “I con’t remember” with these clowns in high positions.
March 28th, 2007 at 5:18 pmAnyone that incompetent that can’t remember anything should be fired.
March 28th, 2007 at 5:18 pmDisgusting, despicable… and expected. That’s really the worst of it — that the Republicans, with Bush as their hand-puppet, have succeeded in reducing the government of the United States of America to the status of just another tool to enrich the few and step on anyone who gets in their way.
I’m ashamed for my country. I don’t know what country Doan is from, but she’s not an American. She’s a proud member of the Greater Republic of Doing Whatever Sounds Like It’ll Get Me Something.
Pathetic excuse for a professional anything.
March 28th, 2007 at 5:19 pmlol. She probably actually does NOT recall and she is probably too stupid to know she was breaking the law. Either way, she’s one of them.
March 28th, 2007 at 5:21 pmGuess Jon Stewart will cover this I don’t remember but I do know there were cookies… too funny.
Governor Bill Richardson will be Jon’s guest tonight… the candidate with the resume… the candidate that can win in the general election.
March 28th, 2007 at 5:21 pmThis is stoopid and boring. We should be focusing on the future, not the past. It’s time to “move on.”
-
March 28th, 2007 at 5:22 pmSo what these ‘conservatives’ actually inherited from Reagan was….
…Alzheimers?!?
“Well, (himhaw stammer)… I don’t recall…”
March 28th, 2007 at 5:22 pmBet the Bush & Co will pretend they don’t even know who she is… never heard of her.
March 28th, 2007 at 5:24 pmBob -
you mean to say that Reagan passed on his Alzheimers to other repubs? Better notify the Center for Disease Control.
March 28th, 2007 at 5:26 pmWhat KIND of cookies were they? Coconut Macaroon, Mexican Wedding Cookies, Pheffernoose, animal cookies, pecan sandies, spritz, sugar, EL Fudge?
I think they were “fudge”
March 28th, 2007 at 5:28 pmthe Bush administration seems to be entirely comprised of people who are barely qualified to work at the Krispy Kreme in my local mall…
March 28th, 2007 at 5:32 pmThis is stoopid and boring. We should be focusing on the future, not the past. It’s time to “move on.â€
Comment by Typical Beltway Media Whore
How can you look to the future move on if these cookie monkeys are still in their positions screwing everything up? Before a cross country drive you change the oil, clean the air filter, check your tires, etc. You just don’t get in an take off. Getting rid of these lumps is a necessary step.
March 28th, 2007 at 5:32 pmPreznit give me turkee!! And a court house, and a post office!! And a office park for Easter!!
March 28th, 2007 at 5:32 pmLook at the double-take by the young lady seen over Lurita’s right shoulder (screen left) when she talks about the cookies on the table and coming in late to the meeting… subtle yet delightful.
March 28th, 2007 at 5:32 pmShe’s sorta hot in a “had at least 6 beers†sorta way.
Actually, she’s “sorta hot” in a DMT bummer sort of way (the smurfs keep whispering “She’s hot, she’s hot..” in a dark and threatening 9th dimensional manner).
March 28th, 2007 at 5:33 pm#68-
Just like when Bushcos forgot everything about Jack Abramoff,never heard of him…!!.Although his story talks about good friends he had in the White House.
March 28th, 2007 at 5:34 pmShe remembered the cookies on the table?
Well, I suppose shoe could be autistic.
But my money would be on “big steaming liar”.
March 28th, 2007 at 5:34 pmActually her only alternative would have been to take the fifth. However, from all appearances she had taken a fifth before the meeting and probably a fifth before the hearing. Jim Beam stock did go up today.
Trueblue, and I went to school at Berkley too!
March 28th, 2007 at 5:34 pmAn autistic shoe… one of my better typos! I must note that down…
March 28th, 2007 at 5:35 pmBecause of a little known clause in the Patriot Act the CDC is now controlled by Bush appointies, so Disease Control is now in the hands of God, where it should be.
Good Luck, everyone!
March 28th, 2007 at 5:36 pmHey Spudge Boy… Doan is sorta hot.
Just sayin…
March 28th, 2007 at 5:37 pm[…] 3/28/07, 2:40pm] Think Progress spliced together some video of Doan’s testimony on the Jennings presentation where she invoked the infamous “I have […]
March 28th, 2007 at 5:39 pmPathetic.
A bunch of loser “high schoolers” with emotional and mental problems are running this country.
March 28th, 2007 at 5:44 pmBerkley?
You little radical, you!
And re: her looks,
“There’s a cover for every pot.” Someone loves her.
(just not us…)
March 28th, 2007 at 5:45 pmObviously,6 years of no meaningfull congressional oversite has made the Bush Administration Careless and Arrogant. They need to come up with a strategy soon, for all the testifying they are anticipating. Cookies and a Bad memory are probably not gonna cut it. Anything but the truth…which will send Bush to Paraguay and make Pelosi the first female president.
March 28th, 2007 at 5:49 pmHas anyone noticed
March 28th, 2007 at 5:49 pmthose gaudy necklaces, these Republican toadie women wear?
C’mon folks! It was only a little meeting with milk and cookies about how they could use a government agency to screw over Democrats.
March 28th, 2007 at 5:50 pmWhat’s the big deal?
Fox “News” does it all the time over the people’s airwaves.
BFD!
Doesn’t everybody do it?
Now if you want to read about a “real” scandal, check out “Travelgate” or the Ron Brown “murder”.
Unfortunately, Hatch act violations are not punishable by jail time.
March 28th, 2007 at 5:58 pmI can remember most incidents in my life since about my fifth birthday. I have some remembrances that go back to my second, but those were repetitive items like my father biking up the drive when he was professor at Stanford, Palo Alto. Two of his students developed a very successful business.
Of countless business meetings over a 42 year career, I can recall about 70% of them, if probed or prodded.
This doll makes Jake look like a perfect recall artist - its like Jake remembers back to the moment of his father’s sperm’s zygote’s ejaculation. I did think that Jake was Dolly posting under an assumed handle, but Dolly died and Jake is still posting.
I will not mention anything about Jake’s recent brain scan - that usually results in the deletion of my posts.
March 28th, 2007 at 6:02 pmThat guy behind her is just waiting for the right moment to whack her. “W wants to meet you at the White House. Here, let me drive you..”
March 28th, 2007 at 6:05 pmHere’s a great profile of Doan from her Vassar alumni newsletter.
http://www.aavc.vassar.edu/ vq/ articles/ Securing_Homefront_Spring2003
She sounds very driven and like a certainly smart “cookie” (bad pun).
Sad to see her playing at being so much the dumb “loyal Bushie” for this administration.
Her loyalty will not be repaid.
March 28th, 2007 at 6:08 pmThey stopped serving KKKool Aide … they are reduced to cookies!
When it rains, it pours.
Another liar helping the GOP downfall.
March 28th, 2007 at 6:12 pmCookies in exchange for democracy? What the hell, you’ve already traded mangos for nuclear technology…
March 28th, 2007 at 6:13 pmHow can someone with such a lousy memory have such an important job?
Who was the former treasury sect’y guy who left the administration (and got predictably smeared by Rovian flying monkeys), who asserted in his book that “everything - absolutely everything - this administration does is political” ?
March 28th, 2007 at 6:13 pmWhoever that said that —
I’d be a rich man if had the nickels Lurita Doan could shove up her nose –
had it just about right.
March 28th, 2007 at 6:14 pmWhat? No one’s heard of CRS disease? I can’t believe no one here has heard of Can’t Remember Shit disease.
March 28th, 2007 at 6:16 pmWow! She doesn’t remember anything about the events! Seems to me she’s developed “Convenient Republican Amnesia Problem” (CRAP) under questioning.
March 28th, 2007 at 6:24 pmWhy is the elephant the symbol of the GOP? I thought that elephants never forgot.
March 28th, 2007 at 6:27 pmOh, and ran a computer surveillance company before her current job.
March 28th, 2007 at 6:42 pmNot someone with a bad memory, I would think.
you mean she has the same memory that Clinton and his staffers had when they were questioned under oath?
what was Clinton’s favorite line while he was being questioned under oath….”I do nto reacall.” he said it over 200 times and you libtards applauded his “poor” memory…
man you little ones are such sheeps…..follow, follow, follow the lies from the left….they have elected you two Presidents in how many decades?
poor you children of the left….
March 28th, 2007 at 6:49 pmHowsad is stuck on Clinton. Howsad, give your head a tap and perhaps you can get past the skip and into the present. Maybe you need to put a penny on your needle to keep from skipping over and over and over and over and over.
March 28th, 2007 at 6:56 pmWhen are they going to ask her who told her to say “I don’t remember” to every question?
I wonder if she can remember that.
March 28th, 2007 at 7:03 pm“… Clinton and … Clinton…
Comment by howsad — March 28, 2007 “
March 28th, 2007 at 7:05 pmHowsad — down on his prayer rug, worshipping the Clenis what, five times per day? Were it not for the Clenis, poor Howsad would have nothing to offer at all. No wonder he is so grateful.

They’re probably shock collars. And Rove shocks them so they remember to say, “I honestly don’t remember.” I think she even hedges on the cookies saying that she doesn’t even really remember those.
March 28th, 2007 at 7:20 pmGOP has the best cookies ever. But they make you forget everything bad.

Hey, even paid trolls have to eat.
March 28th, 2007 at 7:31 pmlook at the chick over doan’s right shoulder roll her eyes and almost crack up at the cookie comment. priceless.
March 28th, 2007 at 7:53 pmFunny how the MSM nightly news broadcasts (ie. ABC, CBS, NBC) ignored this hearing and Lurita’s lack of testimony due to her faulty memory.
I guess the only place to really get the honest news IS from Jon Stewart.
Funny, but really, really, really sad.
March 28th, 2007 at 8:32 pmShe’s thinking “This shit worked for Reagan!”
March 28th, 2007 at 8:43 pmLurita DoanRemember??? Holy Shit!!!! What a babe. Hope she didn’t purchase that outfit with the loot they paid her….
March 28th, 2007 at 9:16 pmListen to Peter Gabriel’s ‘I Don’t Remember’.
Doan effectively ‘took the fifth’ without taking the fifth…
March 28th, 2007 at 9:20 pmShe looks like the Mrs. Claus from those old claymation movies…
March 28th, 2007 at 9:23 pmWhy is a hottie like her wasting herself in a job like that?
She could be stripping in the warehouse district….lap dances 50 cents a piece…..
March 28th, 2007 at 9:37 pmthe first question a member of congress should ask @ the beginning of their 5 minutes
mister/madam chairperson, the witness is sworn, correct ??
March 28th, 2007 at 9:46 pmThat’s a little steep there Zooey… Can’t imagine the lack of shame our white collar crooks display today. Don’t they know their families are watching?
March 28th, 2007 at 9:47 pmJust watched the video. I used headphones, that was a mistake.
March 28th, 2007 at 10:14 pmI just saw the C-SPAN coverage. There is absolutely no question about it. She’s a liar. I would’ve allowed for brain damage of some kind, but I can see it in her face when she insists over and over again that she “has no recollection of that meeting”. She is one sick individual.
I’ve been to plenty of meetings in my line of work. I certainly can’t remember what was said at every single one. But, if somebody showed me slides like that, there is no way I would be able to say I still don’t remember it. I would have a vivid memory of something like that.
I hope there’s a way to run her sorry lying ass out of government as soon as possible.
March 28th, 2007 at 11:43 pmShe did forget…I think there were brownies at the meeting…and she ate a lot of them
March 28th, 2007 at 11:46 pmI liked your remix of Doan so much I set it to music.
March 28th, 2007 at 11:49 pmMUCH THE SAME AS THE LATE,GREAT Marlene Dietrich OBSERVED TO THE LATE, NOT-SO-GREAT Orson Welles in TOUCH OF EVIL(tm):
March 28th, 2007 at 11:51 pm“You should lay off those candy bars”———Lurita Doan, YOU SHOULD LAY OFF THEM CHOCOLATE-CHIP COOKIES!!!!!! THEY SEEM TO BE GIVING YA “SELECTIVE AMNESIA”!!!!!
Oh, and ran a computer surveillance company before her current job.
Not someone with a bad memory, I would think.

Not unless she wants to claim premature Alzheimers.
March 29th, 2007 at 12:19 amI am sick and effing tired of the Bush cartel using minorities and women to sh*t on the American people, American institutions, and the Constitution. Lurita Doan, like Clarence Thomas, Armstrong Williams, Colin Powell, Condi Rice, and Alberto Gonzales before her, was once an intelligent, rational, sapient being. She attached herself to the Republican idiot-ology and now she appears to be a simple-minded, inane, blathering nimcompoop! I just watched the entire hearing on C-Span2, and now I need that pink medicine! Lurita Doan made me sick to my stomach!
After giving the GOP $200,000, this lying heifer dares to pretend she doesn’t remember a meeting with a representative from the White House! Are you kidding me? A meeting that happened two months ago? I worked on Capitol Hill 20 years ago, and I still remember -quite vividly! - conversations I had with several of my political idols ( John Lewis, Ron Dellums, et al), so I have NO doubt that this female Pinocchio knows good and well that she violated the Hatch Act.
I was angered by the casual insolence she displayed toward members of congress. “You guys” “y’all” “you’re entitled to your opinion, and I’m entitled to mine” “you’re mischaracterizing” are just a few of the maddening phrases that revealed the contempt she harbors for Congress, the people’s elected representatives (her employer). The Republican committee members were no better. Tom Davis should stop all that winking and laughing because the government’s business is very serious! And don’t get me started talking about Dan Burton, who had the unmitigated gall to brag about the number of subpeonas he issued to the Clinton administration, which if memory serves, he failed to find any illegalities, despite his blatantly partisan efforts. That’s why I’m sick and effing tired!
March 29th, 2007 at 1:23 amMost disturbing, though not surprising, is the language of the presentation. Rather than just saying “Targeted seats” or “Seat we think are vulnerable”, the Republican machine chooses to use phrases such as “Run over” or “Anvil drop on head” (with graphics to boot.)
I think someone in Congress should point this out.
March 29th, 2007 at 6:45 amThis was the response — one day later — from sending a “congratulatory” email to “l.doan@gwb43.com” for her insightful testimony.
Now I’m not sure if this means anything, but usually if the addressee isn’t at that domain, the message is of the form “not found.” In this case, it seems as though it was found, and repeatedly forwarded around between gwb43.com and the rnchq.org domains.

March 29th, 2007 at 7:28 amRe: #125 — the “From” line said postmaster at rnchq.org (not gwb43.com) but must have been stripped out by the posting software. The message was originally sent to gwb43.com.
I wonder who’ll be the first to guess Karl Rove’s address on gwb43.com??
March 29th, 2007 at 7:31 amNever mind whether she remembers the presentation or not. She has already admitted to being present.
So isn’t the next question, “As top executive, wasn’t it YOUR duty, in accordance with the Hatch Act, to immediately stop a partisan political presentation during work hours at the GSA?”
“And can you explain to this committee exactly WHY you did not do so?”
March 29th, 2007 at 8:02 amI was told there would be pie and punch.
March 29th, 2007 at 9:02 amApparently, being a republican is strongly indicative of early onset Alzheimer’s.
March 29th, 2007 at 9:22 amWhat we saw was merely the governmental version of this…. I think that the committee let her off rather lightly. I would dearly like her to be sent a subpoena, just so we can have a repeat performance that the MSM might pay more attention to.
March 29th, 2007 at 10:40 amDoes this mean that liars eat a lot of cookies? Oh dear… what will I tell all those Girl Scouts?
March 29th, 2007 at 11:58 amI really do think that we need people in positions of power who have the ability to remember what they have done and what they have said. If she can’t remember any of that, it sounds like she’s in pre-alzheimers.
Why do the people asking her these questions allow her to get away with “I don’t recollect”, “I don’t remember”. That’s better than pleading the 5th. Just say you don’t remember anything. You won’t be incriminating yourself and you won’t have to plead the 5th.
March 29th, 2007 at 12:20 pmI Doan’t know.
March 29th, 2007 at 12:45 pmI Doan’t know.
I Doan’t know.
I Doan’t know.
Thank you congressman for your questions. Call me Lurita Keebler…George’s nickname for me.
They might as well put Dubya on the stand and get it over with. He can’t remember anything, but has a good excuse, because he is drug and alchohol impaired.
Duuoooah…)G:
March 30th, 2007 at 2:13 pmShe keeps saying: “Honestly”.
I don’t think that word means what she thinks it means.
March 30th, 2007 at 4:17 pmThe only thing that she didn’t lie about was the cookies on the table. This woman is a disgrace.
March 31st, 2007 at 11:33 amPlease, talk about selective memories. You people are a prime example of “selective memory.”
Thing kind of thing went on during the Clinton administration, and every other administration that I can remember where there were ANY type of investigations and congressional hearings ON ANY MATTER. The “I can’t recall” syndrome is pervasive, ON BOTH SIDE OF THE AISLE.
Get over yourselves.
March 31st, 2007 at 1:29 pm[…] confirmed to ABC News it has launched an investigation into General Services Administration chief Lurita Doan, probing concerns she may have violated a ban against conducting partisan political activity at […]
April 5th, 2007 at 4:04 pmNo lurita our elected officials don’t need your finger prints from your water bottle that happends just before they throw you in jail. Next time cover your mic. Why don’t bush bootlickers feel bound to the laws of this country.
