I agree with Congressman Gowdy:
ON MEACHAM, EXECUTIVE EDITOR, RANDOM HOUSE: Congressman, what is the lesson that the country should take from your report?
GOWDY: That Congress does a lousy job of conducting apolitical, nonpartisan investigations and the American people deserve better.
Now the "million dollar" question: Will the legislators who drove and insisted on that damn investigation and insisted on it win re-election? God, I hope not. I mean really....They were told from the get-go that there was no wrongdoing that took place. What did they find? They found that no wrongdoing took place. Really? They needed 800 pages and months on end worth of hearings to tell us that? WTF for?

- Did we taxpayers really want to pay for a months-long investigation resulting in an 800 page report, the key lesson of which, as stated by the report's primary author/"owner," that Congress isn't any good at nonpartisanship? Really? Who didn't know that?
- Who doesn't know that American voters are, as well as lousy at apolitical, nonpartisan reviews and analysis of pretty much everything, often unwilling to do so even if and when they otherwise can practice apolitical, nonpartisan behavior and thought?
