ROFL!!!!! Keith Olbermann -- just said, "a strident reaction to a leak !!!!!!" For laughs, even though we cannot STAND HIM, it'll be almost funny to hear this .. tune in now.

Olberman, where is the stupid smirk you usually have. You look very upset and serious. Great to be a repub today, bad to be a dem.

Listening to them is worth a 100 bucks. They know how serious this is and how bad it hurts them. Ha ha!

Comparing to Nixon ... fired employee, Mary McCarthy .. failed the poly .. confronted, confessed .. including providing to Dana Priest. Andrea Mitchell: It is unprecendented in the CIA .. veterans tell her they cannot recall another officer being fired. Confronted her yesterday, marched her out the door. More likely that the person who has access to the info .. referred to DOJ.

Conceivable that McCarthy could defend herself using "whistleblower?" defense, but you sign that paper when you're employed by them.

This was not just Dana Priest .. secret renditions, at least a dozen unauthorized contacts ..don't know what other journalists got info .. this is one of many investigations.

"One man's national sec. secret is another man's whistleblowing," letting people know what's going on.

Is there a line of chronology? Pulitzer's made the CIA less than happy. Risen/ etc. - NSA - extraordinary recognition from the very top of the journalistic profession now being investigationed .. secrets that are so controversial .. what is the Americans right to know? Confrontation we haven't seen since the Pentagon Papers.

Goss upset -- sure that the WH was aware, but was Goss's initiative. Very clear that it is the posture of this WH, and it has had an intimidating effect on officials ..

Olbermann: "brazen dismissal for speaking to the media" !!!!

GAG ME !!!! JOHN DEAN!!!!!

PUT ME IN A CAVE, PLEASE!!!
