More of the “I didn’t know” or “I don’t remember” school of politics. Guess you didn’t remember where you were when you were conducting that “team building” exercise, who pays you and that it’s illegal.

Unfortunately, ignorance as a defense is unacceptable. Goodbye.

If Ms. Doan allows anyone to give briefings at her agency, without supposedly knowing what those briefings are about, i believe she should be made to resign.

She appeared so ill informed and was covering herself.

If she cannot remember asking how GSA could help the upcoming election at the end of the presentation, how is it that she can remember how to get to work and run her agency?

I suggest Congress ought to put the pressure on the Bush Administration to either fire Ms. Doan or to have her IMMEDIATLY resign.

Oh, by the way, have them kick Rove out as well.

is it just me, or has the republican party staffed the fed with executives whose collective iq is roughly 64?

i mean really–has this woman had a stroke?

much like an eight-year-old, she has no recollection of anything but the cookies. she must have had some sort of dain bramage…

i just want to know how many of my tax dollars have been funnelled into her pockets, and why do we employ executives with such abysmal memories? how does she find her way home at night? (perhaps like the inbred and feeble monarchies of the past she has servants to take her hand and lead her around?)

Curiouslin wants to know: If we can impeach a president for lying to Congress about his sex life (which affects only his immediate family,)
how is it possible that we have not impeached a president who has lied to Congress and illegally started a war? GW’s decision affects families in the U.S. as well as in Iraq.

I know a lie is a lie is lie, but give me a break. There’s a great deal of difference between sexual improprieties and the slaughter of American and Iraquis.

Notice how Lurita Doan plays ignorant, and cannot even understand the written English language when presented with the PowerPoint slides? Then she betrays her ignorance with quick little quips, like “Target – that’s what I am right now.” And sorry Congressman, I didn’t mean to call you Senator, I know you are a representative – I guess that’s a demotion. Oh well, I won’t get into that right now…”

Very clever woman for being sans memory, intelligence, or conscience.

Compare how well-behaved the Democrats were with this tom-foolery with how James Inhofe behaved toward Al Gore, who was there to testify on behalf of all the people on the planet, and was not there because he had been accused of wrong-doing.
