1. Very impressive job! Where was the oversight?

[rufus dog]

2. good.

maybe some of that backed up shit can drain out.

[CLANG]

3. There must be some better women in California than Feinstein and Pelosi!

[JohnnieGordon]

11. There is, Barbara Boxer..nt

[Starry Messenger]

14. And Barbara Lee. :)

[liberalmuse]

4. Feinstein and Rockefeller as as useless as...

tits on a bull. Maybe I'll give a shit what they have to say once the remove their mouths from Bush's balls.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

9. Wouldn't the tits be useful to help you hold on while bullriding?

[Cha]

5. Oh really! What did she say about what?

I have absolutely no use for diane feinstein who didn't give a rat's ass for procedure when sending our Soldiers to die and the Iraqis to their death.

Fuck her.

[tularetom]

6. Oh she gave a rats ass alright.

A really big fat rats ass. Like she and her husband made millions in profit off of government contracts in Iraq.

She should be on trial for war profiteering, not whining about getting consulted for appointments.

7. Al Giordano tears her another one..

"Broom The CIA"

<snips>

Clearly, Feinstein and company don't have legitimate objections to Panetta, which makes the appointment of a liberal former US Representative - Time magazine notes that, in Congress, Panetta "repeatedly voted against President Ronald Reagan's military initiatives" - all the more attractive. They are merely scrambling to cover their own asses and cover up their own involvement in actions that, if ever exposed, would become the war crimes of two centuries.

The Panetta appointment also explains a lot about Obama's establishmentarian choices for Secretaries of Defense and State. He picked his battles, and it may be that Panetta is being sent in with a broom to sweep out the dirtiest, smelliest, most illegal enterprise in the United States government (one that has had a corrupting influence on Defense and State, too).

And if Feinstein et al really do try to head it off at the pass and deny Panetta's nomination, all the new president has to do is gather up some of the documents about illegal activities at the CIA - Drugs, anyone? Attempted coups? Illegal domestic surveillance? - in recent years that will be newly available to him on January 20, leak those documents to the press, cause a storm of controversy (and some Pulitzer Prizes to boot), have the new Senate Foreign Relations Committee chair, Senator Kerry, call for public hearings (reminiscent of his Iran-Contra and BCCI investigations), and, voila, place Feinstein and friends - and those who are behind them in this - in checkmate."

8. Biden has acknowledged the announcement was done poorly. Apologized and DiFi has made nice too....

Folks here on DU need to do follow their 'grown-up' example.

Stiffing congressional leadership is the kind of shit GWB did.

[Malikshah]

12. Being grown up involves holding people accountable. DiFi has not and should be treated

as an accomplice.

Stop with the grown-up claptrap. It ignores reality.

[Captain Hilts]

13. This is not about DiFi. It's about the chair of the Sen. Intell Cmte. We're a country of laws, not

men, etc.

It's not supposed to be personal.

[Malikshah]

15. Country of Laws? It is up to the Sen Intell Cmtee to provide oversight

Di Fi did not.

Gross dereliction of duty.

Allowing for destruction of basic human rights controvening our laws....

It's clearly not personal. It's about holding those who are corrupted accountable. All about the law. All.

10. Impressive, ripping one giant asshole a new asshole!

I heart Dr. Rachel.
