Q: Madame Speaker, just to be clear, you are accusing the CIA of lying
to you in September 2002?
A: Yes, of misleading the Congress of the United States. Misleading
the Congress of the United States.
This defense fell as flat as her Sergeant Schultz "I know nothing". So on to the next lame excuse: she was mislead by the Bush administration.
"We all share great respect for the dedicated men and women of the intelligence community who are deeply committed to the safety and security of the American people," she said in a statement issued by her office. "My criticism of the manner in which the Bush Administration did not appropriately inform Congress is separate from my respect for those in the intelligence community who work to keep our country safe.
"What is important now is to be united in our commitment to ensuring the security of our country; that, and how Congress exercises its oversight responsibilities, will continue to be my focus as we move forward."
So did the Speaker "mis-speak" when she accused the CIA of serial criminality ?? If she cannot tell the difference between the CIA and the White House maybe she shouldn't keep the post.
So the press had their panties in a wad in fear that some hick from Alaska might be a heart beat from the Presidency (as if Sheriff Joe is a genius) but has no reservations about this partisan hack being second in the line of succession.
Also in the news: Steny Hoyer seen entering the Speaker's office to measure the drapes.
