Looks like the State Department needs a budget cut

[Crim]

So now I have to pay extra to teach my employees to lie to me?

WTF?

[Steven Tyler]

Maybe they should hire Patches O’Houlihan (Dodgeball movie reference) > “?If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a question!

Series, the problem is not the people, the problem is the content of the lies they are compelled to repeat

[RWGinger]

WTF?

WE should get Congress to block State from spending OUR money for that.

You know it’s my experience that if you tell the truth there’s no need for “prepping” before entering a courtroom

Don’t kid yourself....This is a way of threatening these folks. I’m gonna guess that there is suicide in some of their futures...at Marcy Park of course.

I wonder who is running AMTIS, Inc. Some more crony capitalism?

[GOPJ]

Liberal elites are arrogant jerks.

When the government closed for a few days arrogant impostors were thrilled everyday Americans and their ‘snot nosed’ children wouldn't be walking through their palaces.

Liberal elites are contemptuous of the people. They think they're ‘superior’ based on fawning suck-ups in the press - the only people base enough to confuse ‘shallow fashion’ with ‘class’.

It's gonna take a lot more than a half million to teach these lowlifes how to pretend convincingly. I almost wish them luck... classes will be called, "The Lois Lerner/John Kerry Seminar on Why It's Important to Fake being Authentic "

More blatant abuse of taxpayer’s confiscated earnings by government dictate.

[rdcbn]

We have descended to the point where the United States Dept of State needs to hire mob lawyers.

Obama sure has brought us change

“....help train department officials to effectively testify....”

Big clue for the mac daddy administration sock puppets, If you tell the truth you don’t need training.

[MaxMax]

How in the hell can they do this? Omg, this is just BS!

Taxpayer money to protect them while breaking laws? Hell no!

Yea, BUDGET CUTS,, NOW!

[VerySadAmerican]

So, what’s really happening is CONGRESS is using taxpayer’s money to give advice to another branch of government on how to answer questions from - - - - -CONGRESS!

Our biggest problem is idiots in Tennessee voting for Alexander, idiots in Mississippi voting for Cochran, idiots in Kansas voting for Roberts and idiots in South Carolina voting for Graham. And I don’t count the blacks in Mississippi. There were enough idiot whites to make a difference.

[txrefugee]

Great. Taxpayers pay for a company that will help Obama’s “folks” lie to Congress better.

[Pontiac]

The Washington Times reports that the department has hired a company called AMTIS, Inc. to train staffers to effectively speak with lawmakers and testify at congressional hearings

I wonder if ‘speaking effectively’ includes telling the truth.

I am guessing that what it means is telling as little truth as possible without blatantly committing perjury.

[Carl Vehse]

The money will be wasted on AMTIS, Inc. trying to make this clown sound like anything other than the lying traitor he is.
