From Foggy Bottom to Langley, we're up to our armpits in anti-American guvmint employees, and Feinswine wants Goss to go easy of 'em?
What's that say about her?

In ancient Eygpt the civil service lasted well over 1000 years, in Mandarin China well over a 1000 years. Once entrenched it outlasts regime changes of all sorts. Tamanny Hall-type political cronyism -- the political spoils system -- had its problems, but civil service locks in the medicore forever -- a form of a national prisonhood.

She (Feinstein) said Goss' e-mail to employees "is likely to cause confusion at best and mislead agency employees at worst." CIA employees are smart people. They are not like intellectually challenged California Senators. They understand what Goss said.

Typical democrat hack to twist language into a knot. True. But, I think they don't have the language advantage they used to.
Item 1 - During the campaign, the left's discourse was a lot of hateful name-calling, but I can't remember one positive dem sound bite (something good for them).
Item 2 - A lot of their favorite terms have now been overused for years. Jesse Jackson calling someone "racist" just doesn't have the same effect as 10 years ago.
Item 3 - the web helps cut through their junk science claims, and their bs in general (actually as an antidote to both the Dem's and the old media).
Hey, anyone know how to indent a line - like if I wanted to indent Item 1 say 5 spaces, is there a simple html tag? Sorry.

I had the same thoughts. The Dems fought harder and nastier this election than I can recall. Even nastier than LBJ. Why?
This is about much more than the retention of power. The liberal wing of the party is worried about something.

Hey Feinstein, why don't you get a job as a display in a wax museum.Ugh! Shudder!
Too ugly.

That's cool, DiFi. Perhaps if you and your party had shown
interest in maintaining a strong CIA in the last decade
maybe we wouldn't be having some of the problems we are
having today.

Could it be that she wants-her husband to import more Normico weapons? That would be Norinco, AKA China North Industries

New, Revised (More Accurate Headline):
"Feinstein Warns Goss Against Firing CIA Managers Who Covertly Indulged in Domestic US Politics By Supporting John Kerry And Leaking National Security Information to Destroy Bush's Re-election Chances and Thus Saving Their Hopelessly Corrupt, Dysfunctional Agency, Rotten To the Bureaucratic Core and In Need of a Major Institutional and Mission Overhaul"Sorry. The longest headline in AP history!

Good. If Feinstein is against it, normal people are for it. ..."normal." I like that word.

Sure we need more of those impeccable "it's a slam-dunk" reports to the president.

I've tried HTML 4.01 Transitional to do that, and it doesn't work. So it's an ampersand (&) and nbsp; (no space between the ampersand and the nbsp; part, semicolon and all). Repeat as needed for more spaces. ...don't know how to escape that, offhand, so it wouldn't show here if I put it all together.
Or maybe someone here knows how to indent with XHTML if that would work.

The dimocrats want us to leave all the "moles" that have been leaking stuff to the press the last four yearsA clear sign that they had moles planted deeply in the agency is the volume of their complaints in the media! Exactly!

A Democratic senator warned CIA Director Porter Goss Thursday that his efforts to make major changes could have "a significant and negative effect on the agency".
Reason enough for me to clean house.

So it's an ampersand (&) and nbsp Thanks! No brackets, just ampersand and "nbsp" worked (I'm trying out 1st Page 2000).
To: nypokerface
Feinstein? And her concerns mean what in the overall scope of things?
To: searchandrecovery
"No brackets, just ampersand and 'nbsp'"
Yes.
