There should be nothing surprising about all the nonsense, grandstanding, ignorance and bullshit at the Facebook hearings.

Any more than there should be any surprise whatsoever, about the prevelance of anarchy, name-calling, unjustified outing and hate-speach on Facebook itself.

The American economy has put a Neanderthal in the Whitehouse, and given a kid the job he always dreamed of, without providing either with the ability to discharge their office with the appropriate global responsibility.

That's the price you pay for democracy and capitalism.
