RealClearPolitics: FOX News' Major Garrett was the first and only reporter to ask Press Secretary Robert Gibbs what the White House's reaction is to Nancy Pelosi's accusation that the C.I.A. lied to her. Gibbs said President Obama is "keeping the American people safe by looking forward." Garrett reminded Gibbs this is a serious matter, leading Gibbs to respond that he will not "R.S.V.P" to get involved.Watch the video
I wouldn't be surprised if Gibbs encouraged the question. The way I read it is that the White House is only too eager to see Nancy self-waterboard into forced confession and resignation. Obama (Steny Hoyer, John Dingell - anyone else Nancy's screwed over) have to be laughing his ass off watching Pelosi's now terminally stuck peanut butter mouth. Trust me. You don't fuck around with the CIA. Yeah, the CIA has lied but not this time. Let the leaks begin! Maybe the NSA has surreptitious recordings of Nancy's extracurricular activities. It is not unprecedented. Don't ask...
Who is Obama grooming to replace Nancy With The Formerly Laughing Face?
What's Nancy got on the New York Times which buried her sketchy press conference on page A 20 in Friday's paper?
Today on A 1 "In Detainee Furor, a Rare Dent in Pelosi Armor" the Times fingers Republican s as the source of Nancy's woes: After many failed efforts, Republicans have finally found a weak spot in Nancy Pelosi’s political armor as a fight over detainee interrogations engulfs Ms. Pelosi, Republicans and intelligence officials... As for the speaker, she no doubt faces a difficult period. But few think the sharp focus on the interrogation matter is a serious threat to the authority of Ms. Pelosi, a powerful figure who weathered previous Republican assaults with hardly a scratch....Ms. Pelosi is not the only one with political exposure. Should any investigation determine that the C.I.A. misled members of Congress, the result could be severely damaging to the agency and to the Republican leaders who have relentlessly pressed the issue against Ms. Pelosi."
The Times asserts that Democrats are behind Pelosi: "Fellow Democrats say they support the speaker, and they will probably become more united as she faces attacks from polarizing opponents like Newt Gingrich, who lashed out at the speaker on Friday, or faces calls from the right to step down. The Democrats say her predicament shows the perils of classified briefings, which can handcuff those who attend if they hear something objectionable."
Nancy's Truth Commission - which Obama doesn't want - like Joe McCarthy's HUAC, will end up consuming its creator. Your tax dollars at work...
I thought it hilarious listening to Speaker Pelosi and her supports trying to pin her self-made scandal on Repubs. Not even Karl Rove is smart enough to pull something like this off.
ReplyDeleteOk, I won't ask. Damn curious, though.
Okay, Al. I had contacts in the U.S. intelligence community when I was in DC for many years. One told me he heard an audio tape of Elizabeth Dole, I think, admitting to an adulterous affair, or talking to the guy, I don't recall. It was like more than 20 years ago I was told this. The same guy says he heard audio of Senator Chris Dodd getting a blow job in his office.
ReplyDeleteHow often do these clowns sweep their offices for bugs? The Dole thing was before Elizabeth was in the Senate.
The best eavesdropping perch in DC? The Russian Embassy up on Wisconsin Ave. The dumb Americans let them build their new embassy (moved from 16th street) on the highest spot in DC.
You don't think the WH would NOT bug Pelosi and others? I would.
....Prolly about the time Bob Dole started needing medication for his "Bob Dole".
ReplyDeleteThere aren't very many kept secrets in DC.
