Toensing: The American people...don't have a...right to know DIDDLEY DOO!

[Stephanie]

DIDDLEY DOO!

Absolutely unfuckingbelievably INSULTING statement!

Victoria Toensing's interview on the PBS show NOW about the NSA, with Maria Hinojosa. Direct quote >

"The American people, first of all, do not have a Constitutional right to know DIDDLEY DOO."

The arrogance and disdain and spite in her voice. These people are insufferable. The belligerance! The attitude! The condescension!

Who else heard this?

1. Something she coughed up to spit at the librul PBS audience, perhaps

[Mythsaje]

2. Tell me something...

It IS Still "we the People, right?"

I don't know who this person is, but maybe she'd feel better living in the old Soviet Union, Communist China, or N. Korea.

[Stephanie]

3. She's the Pentagon spokeswoman, I think

I'm going to go check.

[Ilsa]

12. You are thinking of Victoria Clark, aka Torie Clark, I think.

Toensing was a right-wing lawyer in Reagan's admin, I think.

[Stephanie]

37. ok thanks

she acts like she's running the whole show!

[leftchick]

51. married to the other Wing Nut lawyer Joe Degenova

they both had their fifteen minutes of fame trying to see clinton's penis for 2 years.

[Stephanie]

7. I can't figure out who she is. I thought she was in the administration.

Victoria Toensing, a lawyer and longtime Republican who helped write the Intelligence Identities Protection Act of 1982, which is at the center of this case, said Bush is now saying what he probably meant to say when the leak investigation was launched. "Of course you are going to be concerned if a law was broken," she said. "But what is it that somebody did wrong if they didn't break the law?"

9. She worked in the Reagan justice dept.

She thought the American people needed to know all about Bill Clinton's blowjob though.

[brook]

15. She was

all over the tube aiding and abetting Ken Starr - as was her stogie-chomping hubby, Joe DeGenova.

Vicious Vickie

[napi21]

18. Her husband is Joe diGenova, and they have a law firm in DC,

along with their son (I think it's their son). They do a lot of different talk shows, and although I do think they are both very good lawyers (at winning cases for their clients), they're both obnoctious people to listen to. Very much the I'm right, you're wrong now just shut up kind of people!

[fishwax]

44. that sounds like pre-9/11 thinking to me

:crazy:

[still_one]

4. we have a right not to listen to her shit

[TomClash]

5. Why should the People's representatives know anything?

Why follow the law? Big Brother will take care of you.

[wurzel]

6. The end of a myth.

"Democrats and Republicans are the same so it doesn't matter who you vote for."

[Disturbed]

11. Neo Fascism is rolling along.

If the Executive Tyranny is not challenged Amerika will become a Neo Fascist Police State. When a former SC Justice who is a Rethug warns us about American Dictatorship, even though she helped bring it about,we better heed her warning!

[BurgherHoldtheLies]

8. Yes, I'm sure the founding fathers would totally agree with that statement

:sarcasm:

[C_U_L8R]

10. ahem.. excuse me Victoria

this country is "of the people, by the people, for the people"
what part of that don't you understand?

and if you don't like it.. then please leave.

[rwheeler31]

13. This is same women who constantly argued

about the peoples right to know when Clinton was in office.

[C_U_L8R]

17. Where the heck did she go to law school???

Heinrich Himmler University ????

[Dudley_DUright]

22. Apparently "DIDDLEY DOO" is a legal term of art that

sounds better in the original German. :sarcasm:

[Fridays Child]

19. She's a Kool-Aid drinking, knuckle dragging, card carrying neocon...

...and an insufferable hypocrite of the first order.

[fishwax]

45. that's *so* 9/10 thinking

I mean, sure, "of the people, etc." worked great before 9/11. But nowadays ... is it really worth the risk? :crazy:

:eyes:

:puke:

[area51]

14. Fuck her...

... and the high horse she rode in on.

If she works for the govt., then we, the American people are her boss! And she needs to improve her job performance before she gets sacked.

[ToolTex]

16. I heard her say it, also. I could hardly believe her stupidity,

and treason!

[salin]

20. sorta starts to bring the whole idea of Democracy into question.

guess we can't count on her pumping the 'going to war in the mideast to promote democracy camp'?

[Raksha]

21. She's as arrogant and insufferable as she is DEAD WRONG!!!

The American people do indeed have a Constitutional right to know diddly-poo, and a whole hell of a lot more than that! They have a right to ALL the information they need to make informed political choices, should they choose to avail themselves of said information.

Just what does this bitch think the second amendment is about anyway?

[Missy Vixen]

32. The Second Amendment

>Just what does this bitch think the second amendment is about anyway?<

It only applies to those who can afford expert legal representation.

Julie

p.s. Ms. Toensing's star seems to have set these days. The OJ Simpson trial was her heyday.

[Sparkly]

23. Who is "Diddley Doo?"

New nickname for Chimpy? I think we already know him.

Maybe it's Agent Diddley Doo, who snoops on pacifists -- we don't have a right to know him.

:shrug:

[Dudley_DUright]

26. Not me anyway! My name is Dudley DU..., not Diddley DO...

:-)

[Sparkly]

27. Hey Dudley, do you know Diddley?

:hi:

[Dudley_DUright]

31. As Dory says in a great "Finding Nemo" trailer my niece loves to quote

"Nope. Don't know diddley. Don't know squat. Don't know diddley-squat."

[devilgrrl]

24. That woman makes my stomach turn...

what a sorry excuse for a human being.

[Disturbed]

25. Just sent email to Kieth O.

asking him to make her Worst Person.

[Sparkly]

29. Perfect candidate!!

On edit: Has anyone nominated her for the next "Top Ten Conservative Idiots" on DU?

[MODemocrat]

28. Vicky, dear, that sounds so un-professional

I've noticed how sly she looks when she talks. She's really pretty stupid, isn't she? She must be one hell of a lawyer. I'd rather represent myself than to have her represent me. :rofl:
Here's to Vicky: :silly: :silly:

[Arkansas Granny]

30. I not only heard her say it, I registered the arrogance, contempt

and utter callousness in her voice as she said it. This entire administration, from the President all the way down to staffers, truly believes that it can run roughshod over the Senate, the House and the American people without paying any consequences and nobody is supposed to even complain.

[Stephanie]

52. CONTEMPT is the word I was looking for!

It's infuriating. And they wonder why we're so "angry."

[senseandsensibility]

33. What was the interviewer's response to that

disgusting comment?

[Stephanie]

38. I think they cut away

I don't remember him responding. It was all quick bites.

[anitar1]

43. David lets them hang themselves with their

own words. Seems like she did a good job on herself. They just can't hide the utter contempt they have for us peasents. It was the first thing that struck me about the Chimp. Utter contempt for us.

[SammyWinstonJack]

34. First, what the hell is "Diddley Doo"? And does she include herself

in that? :wtf: On the subject of "disdain" let me relate this. Shortly after Pinhead** was sElected, I read where Prescott Bush told his offspring that the American people were to be treated with disdain. A lesson well taught and learn by Pinhead et al. When ** told an audience that they were the "haves and have more, his base" he wasn't speaking of the red state morans-one paycheck away from the poor house kool-aid drinkers who worship him. Talk about delusional. :rofl:

[global1]

41. Do You Think She Was Confused And Meant Either Dippity Doo or.....

Bo Diddley?

[Stephanie]

53. hah!

:rofl:

[frankly_fedup2]

35. If "We the People" don't have the right, then a publically elected person

doesn't either. Does she think because she was elected that she has more rights then us. Ooops. Almost forgot that one. They really don't but they BELIEVE they do. Sounds like someone needs to be taken down a peg or two or three.

[SeveneightyWhoa]

36. Here's a pic:

Behind that "beautiful" face is a whole lot of ugly fascism, which crept through today..

[Oilwellian]

39. She was connected to Bush I's WH male prostitution ring

Officials in the Bush and Reagan administrations, Republican socialites and military officers were regular, credit card clients of a homosexual prostitution ring now under investigation by the FBI and the Secret Service, The Washington Times reported yesterday. said several clients, including himself, were blackmailed by the prostitutes. He said that because "big names" were involved, "a high-level official is going to try to block the investigation and may succeed."

The focus on private White House tours came after the Washington Times reported that Craig J. Spence, a prominent Washington lobbyist and one-time registered foreign agent for Japan, arranged tours of the White House -- once around midnight -- for friends and business associates. It said one such group included two male prostitutes from escort services that are now the subject of an investigation by U.S. Attorney Jay Stephens.

The Secret Service said it does not know how a Washington lobbyist linked to a homosexual prostitution ring was able to arrange a midnight tour of the White House last year but said it was investigating how the group gained access to the presidential mansion. "The matter is being looked into," said Allan Cramer, a Secret Service spokesman. "I'm sure we'll have more to say about what happened soon. It is something we are very interested in."

The Secret Service last week expanded its investigation with inquiries about friends and associates of Mr. Spence. Two of those friends are former U.S. Attorney Joseph diGenova and his wife, Victoria Toensing, a former deputy assistant attorney general for the Justice Department's criminal division."

Washington Times
Spence was target before raid on ring

A classic Washington power couple, diGenova, 53, and Toensing, 56, occupy a strange, symbiotic nexus between the media and the law that boosts their stock in both worlds . . . Name a high-profile investigation in this city and chances are the prosecutorial pair is involved . . . .DiGenova stepped down in 1988 to enter private practice; his successor Jay Stephens . . .

Other reporters around Washington said they were interested in pursuing the story but decided against it when they checked with the Secret Service and other investigative agencies and were told that the raid was relatively routine . . . a key law enforcement official came to lunch at the Post and assured the staff that the investigation was primarily on credit card fraud.

54. OMG, she's 73 years OLD???

She must see Laura's cosmetic surgeon.

Being a Republican means never having to say you're sorry.

[grasswire]

42. she and hubby are Bush tools

It was her hubby who investigated and determined that President George Herbert Walker Bush's illegal procurement of Bill Clinton's passport files was not illegal.

Ol' Lizard Lady herself is also a tool. She makes a Komodo dragon look like a gecko.

[Tennessee Gal]

46. She is a liar!

I have heard he lie time after time on national television. She will say and do anything to support the liars in power.

[rman]

47. yeah, transparency in governemnt is for communists

[H2O Man]

48. The "worst person

in the world" monthly award should go to her.

[jmowreader]

49. I did a search for this woman's writings...antiemetics are in order

It was the CIA's fault that Valerie Plame was outed by the White House!
