bg- While I've said everything I want to say on the actual mosque already, I would like to make a point with regards to this. If the Speaker of the House says "something needs to be looked in to", by default, "Congress" is calling for an investigation. It doesn't really matter who investigates at that point or if it is publicly funded, it's that Congress said it needed to be looked into. She made the statement in her role as Speaker so the statement cannot be separated from Congress.
Semantics, perhaps, but her purpose was to intimidate. Why the Federal fucking government is even talking about this is beyond me.
:edit:
I take that back, it's not beyond me. This is one more example of the Federal government's desire to be involved in every aspect of American lives. It's one building in one city in one state in our nation. Yet, they can't resist telling those people how they should feel about it and what they should do about it.
