How to act when in power

Last Thursday a House committee was meeting to discuss reforms for the mortgage industry. The Republicans let it be known that they planned to subpoena Bank of America for records concerning the Friends of Angelo's V.I.P. mortgage program. Dems Including Chris Dodd and Kent Conrad have been getting negative press for their connection to this program,they got sweetheart loans.

When the meeting was to start however the Dems were absent the Reps waited more than half an hour then were told the meeting was cancelled. In actuality the Dems met in a smaller room behind the main hearing room.

A republican aide video taped them leaving this meeting through a back door. This video interspersed with footage of the empty meeting room was placed on YouTube.

The majority Dems were not pleased so they changed the locks on the hearing room doors.

This is a fine example of how not to act when you're in power. Caught in the act of doing something the wrong way blame the other guy and retaliate.
