Reminds me of the debate as to whether Aquavelvajad was in one of the infamous Iranian Hostage Outrage.

Thanks ETL. Good find.

This seems to be a mistake. Linda Panetta is apparently NOT Leon Panetta’s daughter. Please read the more recent posts on this thread.

It is well known by googling that Leon Panetta has only three sons. Ms. Panetta is not technically lying by saying her father is Leon Panetta, his name is Leonard, but he goes by Leo, not Leon.

Knowing how sneaky and slimy the left is and how they often operate, I thought it was at least conceivable that they may have been trying to hide a father-daughter relationship between the two, especially after seeing the following posted on a Springfield College (Mass) bulletin board for Feb 2007.

What's really strange about it is the fact that it was posted AFTER she spoke there! If they (the school) had believed she WAS in fact his daughter at that point (after her visit), it seemed logical to me that they had to have spoken to her about it at some point during her time there, either before, during, or after the talk?? Or in the Q&A period?

"ACTIVIST LINDA PANETTA SPEAKS - Linda Panetta, photojournalist, social activist, and daughter of former White House Chief of Staff Leon Panetta, spoke about her work in Central America and the Middle East in a presentation entitled "Social Justice and Contemporary Society" on Monday, Feb. 12, in Marsh Memorial Chapel.

I just checked the Springfield College page that I was referring to and they've now removed the 'Leon Panetta's daughter' mention. However, I don't see anywhere on the revised page an admission or, Lord forbid, an apology. Good thing I did a screen capture soon after I saw it! Didn't I tell you these lefties are sneaky and slimy?

I'll post the screen capture as soon as I can figure out how to do so. I've never done it before.

Original version: Linda Panetta is listed as Leon Panetta's daughter. It appeared this way until Jan 19th or 20th, 2009:

_____________________________________________________________________

Revised version: On Jan 21st, 2009, I first noticed the 'Leon's daughter' mention removed, with no acknowledgment and/or apology, at least as of this moment (1/21/09, 10:15AM ET):

Thanks, great post. Looks like FR blew her cover, LOL. The funniest part was her claiming to be 35 instead of 42, OOPS! We bad.

Linda Panetta is just typical of lazy, dreamy glory hounds that try to make a business out of activism or movement politics instead of earning/being rewarded for their own accomplishments.

Let’s all thank Springfield College for their correction of Linda Panetta’s defamatory and fraudulent claims.

It's my understanding that Leon Panetta....doesn't have any daughters.

Am I wrong?

Personal life

Panetta married Sylvia Marie Varni,[18] who administered his home district offices during his terms in Congress.

Currently, he lives on his family's twelve acre (49,000 m²) walnut farm in Carmel Valley, California with his wife. They have three grown sons: Christopher, Carmelo, and James, and five grandchildren[19].
