This is Jan Schakowsky (IL) speaking...
Opens with utterly error-laden remarks.. Whitfield's opening remarks.. Poorly prepared.. haphazard.. confused..

Rep. Cliff Stearns (Ocala, FL)
"Those making a fortune..." Gee Cliff... Who exactly is making "a fortune" in racing? And why do they keep referencing "cocaine given to horses"? An obscurity designed to sensationalize undoubtedly...

Believe previous Rep. was Lee Terry (NE)... Clearly a fan.
Now Joe Pitts.. Pennsylvania... They are specifically trying to characterize ANY MEDICATION/INJECTION as ABUSE OF HORSES.

"Completely bi-partisan" says Schakowsky... Yup.. They are all equally clueless about the topic.

"Completly Bipartisan" It's nice to know that horse racing has brought the Dems and Reps togther! (Beat me by a minute!)
PS: Steve thanks for the comments yesterday about Royal Ascot. Got that going as well. Interesting morning! Spydee

Schakowsky is lying. Joe Drape reports that he knows Dutrow called Whitfield's office.

Just off phone with Former KY Governor Brereton Jones... He will join me tonight on 'At the Races' at 4pm..
He isn't bothering to listen to the hearings. As he said, "When I saw who they were calling, I knew the fix was in..."
