AP: ACCUSED SPY IS COUSIN OF BUSH STAFFER

This 'distant cousing of a Bush employee' angle will probably get more airplay than Billy Carter, Hugh Rodham and Roger Clinton put together.

It didn't take long for the Andrew Card link, but hidden well within the article the Democrat link.

No media bias here, so let's Move On (oops, someone already took that one)

Lindauer's neighbors in Takoma Park, Md., recalled her as friendly. Joao Luiz Vieire de Castro, 39, described Lindauer as "a regular American who walks her dog in the mornings and the afternoon."

According to the piece on Drudge:

But Malvina Lacey, who lives next door to Lindauer, added, "She lives in a fantasy world."

I've decided to trust Malvina's judgement.

AP report leaves out this neighbor's description:

But Malvina Lacey, who lives next door to Lindauer, added, "She lives in a fantasy world."

Who cares if they are distant cousins? No one. It would be important, though, if they were ever in contact with one another. Does Card know Lindauer? Do they ever see each other?

[dalebert]

Also looks like she is more tied to the Dems than to any Bush staffer.

You had better be "disgusted" with the AP headline & NOT the fact that President Bush's staffer happens to have a crooked cousin. As YOU said we cannot pick our relatives.

[Palladin]

Damn, jackbill! You beat me by 4/10ths of a minute.

[Neets]

Uh...

I'm pretty sure that's what she meant by she's disgusted.....the headline I mean.

[madison10]

Lindauer made contact with Mr. Card. & he gave a letter & info to the FBI. Lindauer picked the wrong relative to have a "reunion" with. :) Thank you, Mr. Card!!

[wimpycat]

I've got a "distant cousin" who is serving a life sentence for murder. What significance does it have to my life? None. What's the significance of this "distant" familial relationship between Andrew Card and the traitor? None.

Of much greater significance is her employment with several congressmen, all of them Democrats.

Maybe Guillermo "replied" to the wrong post? His response makes no sense in light of what you wrote....

[hellinahandcart]

Why would you assume I meant anything else?

If anyone had told me two hours ago that the press would find a way to HANG THIS ON BUSH, I would have said they were nuts.

The headline should have been BUSH STAFFER OUTS SPYING COUSIN, if anything...but nooooooooo...

[PISANO]

By tomorrow this story will be reported thus: ANDY CARD'S cousin has been indicted for illegal ties to Saddam Hussien.

[whereasandsoforth]

I think your post #4 has been misread. I know what you mean.

[plain talk]

She's an extremist Democrat tied to four extreme Democrat congresscritters. End of story. And yet the AP chooses to report that she's a distant cousin to someone in the WH. Who cares? We are all distant cousins to everyone depending on one's definition of 'distant'.

--- Joao Luiz Vieire de Castro, 39, described Lindauer as "a regular American who walks her dog in the mornings and the afternoon." ---

It probably wouldn't hurt to have the FBI interview Mr. Castro to make sure they have all the evidence they might need to help "prove her innocence".

[Smartass]

The media trash spinners are truly an amazing bunch. Susan Lindauer is a hard core Dumborat. Every story has her working, in some way for another Dumborat. The Dumborats have to take credit for one of their own. How can any reasonable person believe, that she's tied to a Republican, is nothing but more media back spin!

OMG...this is series.

[hellinahandcart]

I would have thought so, but I just got another in the same vein.

So if you'll all excuse me now, I have to flounce off and sulk about this mistreatment. ;-(
