The GOP Don't Never Dance With Them What Brung Them

I've received many letters like this about my appearance last week in the United States Senate:

Dear Mr. Steyn: 

I've been following the reports on your appearance to give Senate testimony, and the troubles you and other witnesses encountered there. I don't want to pretend that I'm any kind of expert in such matters, but it was my impression going in that the hearings were Senator Cruz's idea, and that you were his invitee.

Sincerely, 

Thomas Evans

Editor's Note:  Please follow the link provided that takes you to Steyn's appearance at the Senate hearing.  It's a wonder anyone can be found in contempt of Congress when they act the way they do since comtempt for Congress is so thick and wide spread it's amazing people aren't tripping over it coming up the steps of the Capitol.
