Since the media seems to have forgotten Jeff's role in Plamegate...
Edited on Tue Jul-19-05 05:26 PM by mikelewis
I went to his site to see if he is trying to get his name back in the spotlight. You all remember his role in the "Gannongate" affair, he was the bitch. Anyway, he wrote something very peculiar. Now my first instinct is to say this is not Jeff's writing. He has a history of plagerism so I am assuming this is coming in the mouth of Karl Rove. {Did I say coming in comma shit comma I meant out of comma better edit this later period Speech to text fucking rules exlamation point} Anyway, this is the quote:

"Responsibility for the intelligence failures that culminated in the terror attacks of September 11, 2001 lies squarely on the shoulders of the CIA. It had become dysfunctional and highly politicized by the end of the 1990s as the result of budget cuts and neglect. The extent to which it was a rogue agency is demonstrated by its attempt to influence the outcome of last year’s presidential election.

Officials in the administration should be applauded for blowing *tee-hee* the whistle on the CIA’s political activism and taking steps to refocus its attention on the urgent need for reliable intelligence in a post-9/11 world.

And you Jeff, should be applauded for blowing your way into the White House. So now, I guess the story the Republicans are telling themselves about the 2004 election is that they stole it to keep the CIA from stealing it. Very bizarre but thanks Jeff for hanging in there. {I guess with eight plus cut what choice does he have}

1. The idea
that the CIA is a liberal front is absolutely ridiculous. These people, murder, kidnap, steal, bug, influence, etc., etc., just about everything and everyone else in the world.

How could they possibly be against this administration, they helped build the case for war. Anyone who says this crap should be taken for what they are, a hack!

2. Next up
will be Rovian-planted stories that imply Plame as the faulty CIA agent who brought on 9/11. I'm serious. Wait for it. It'll be damp dirty whispers woven through the bawdy fabric of Fox mouthpieces.

3. The CIA was RIGHT to have Wilson look at this bogus "intel"
and Wilson was RIGHT that it was spurious!!!

How do they keep forgetting that? "Support the troops" my ass -- people have been maimed and killed because of this phony "intel," and that's not the CIA's fault. BushCo themselves retracted the "16 words," and hello -- there were no WMDs.

These people are incredible.

4. No see- that's the point...
There was no WMD's because this was a CIA plan to bring down the President, hatched out by none other than Valerie Plame! A dasterdly deed!
