Holy CRAP...Condi Rice is "leaky" TOO? Color me SHOCKED!
Lawyer: Rice Allegedly Leaked Defense Info

By MATTHEW BARAKAT
The Associated Press
Friday, April 21, 2006; 7:58 PM

ALEXANDRIA, Va. -- Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice leaked national defense information to a pro-Israel lobbyist in the same manner that landed a lower-level Pentagon official a 12-year prison sentence, the lobbyist's lawyer said Friday.

Prosecutors disputed the claim.

The allegations against Rice came as a federal judge granted a defense request to issue subpoenas sought by the defense for Rice and three other government officials in the trial of Steven Rosen and Keith Weissman. The two are former lobbyists with the American Israel Public Affairs Committee who are charged with receiving and disclosing national defense information.

Defense lawyers are asking a judge to dismiss the charges because, among other things, they believe it seeks to criminalize the type of backchannel exchanges between government officials, lobbyists and the press that are part and parcel of how Washington works.

3. I've heard Tweety go on and on and on about her beauty.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks she's, well, less than beautiful.

14. Are you serious?
She looks like the cross between a wombat and weasl, with apologies to both species... I didn't know that Tweety was blind, deluded, a junkie and a crackhead.

16.  "oh, she's SUCH a beautiful woman, I mean she's SO beautiful
.... such a BEAUTIFUL woman." And more that I can't even remember. He really gushed and gushed. I was kind of startled when I heard him talking about her in those terms, even discussed it with somebody at the time.

8. StepnW1f
She's a hard looking broad. A hot mess. I actually had someone tell me that I looked like her and expect that I was going to take it as a compliment. I looked at him like he'd lost his everlasting mind. This happened in Yreka California, extreme northern California in Siskiyou County. There are quite a few freeperish types in that area with a dearth of black folks in that area. This man actually thought I would be flattered. Of course, I was horrified and asked him what his problem was. Found out later that he ids a ditto head of the first order. Extremely delusional. Went on to complement me for speaking english clearly and asked me why I didn't speak "Ebonics". I was pissed and told him off not only in English but Spanish, french and Hungarian.

You would have thought that his head was going to explode. :shrug:

9. Holy Shit That Didn't Happen?
But I bet it did. I think me head would have popped like a ballon, then I would have gotten "psychotic"(figuratively) on the fools.

4. Let it be
Please let it be. I'm sure it's true, given the bent of these immoral fucks.

Please.

Let the unwinding go faster and faster.

I'm not getting any younger.

But, I have a hammer -

11. I'm pretty good with a hammer and nail myself...
Old Leftie. Should you find yourself unable to pound those nails with a regular hammer, I'll volunteer to provide you with a hammer gun that you can use even when they're standing on the scaffold. As long as you point the gun in the general direction, it'll be perfectly alright. :7

I live near DC.

I am watching.

My palsy isn't so bad yet that my shaking will screw up my aim. I just need to get near a head and it's mine.

Bless you, though, you total doll.

We'll build....................

6. "how Washington works"
"they believe it seeks to criminalize the type of backchannel exchanges between government officials, lobbyists and the press that are part and parcel of how Washington works."

Umm
A) It is already criminal
B) This is not how Washington is supposed to work, is it?
