Condit Tours Twin Tower Disaster Site (GAG ALERT!)

House Intelligence Committee security risk Gary Condit toured Manhattan's Twin Tower disaster site Wednesday, in a visit deliberately kept secret from most of the press.
"Several members of the House Intelligence Committee, including Condit, arrived for a close-up look, and city officials showed them around the scarred streets and piles of rubble," sources told the New York Post.
Condit's visit was "kept under wraps," the paper said, in contrast to the highly publicized visits of most other public officials and dignitaries.
Mayor Giuliani was hosting French President Jacques Chirac for his own tour of the World Trade Center disaster, and did not meet with Condit or other Intelligence Committee members.
In August, House Minority Leader Dick Gephardt announced that he would consult with his colleagues on removing Condit from the sensitive post -- after many expressed fears that his continued access to the nation's top secrets make him highly blackmailable.
Last week congressional leaders complained that the Bush White House was limiting the information it was sharing with Congress about a planned military response to last Tuesday's attack.
But with secrecy at a premium as President Bush plans America's war on terrorism, Gephardt's failure to take care of his party's "Condit problem" may be behind the White House's decision to play things close to the vest.

How did the terrorists find out about secret procedures and terminology that prompted Air Force One to fly to Omaha?

If the Dems had any class they would tell Condom to resign but then the Dems didn't have the class to demand Klinton to resign and none of these parasites have the class to resign on their own so we will have to tolerate Condom until the election. Semper Fi, Mike

Whatever happened to all those fascinating Condit/Chandra threads? You know, the ones that usually started with an article from the National Enquirer or Drudge, with the ubiquitous "unnamed sources" supplying juicy info. I miss all the nutty rumors -- Condit's homosexual proclivities, his secret body dump site's, his wife's missing thumbs (clearly visible in a People Magazine cover, by the way), etc.
Looks like the folks at FR are all growed up now and talking about real news.

We will use this info in our FReep on Saturday. Sure wish a photo was available to add more color to the story for the brain dead supporters. Thankfully, those numbers are dropping like the Dow.

Maybe he's afraid they'll find a certain body in the recovery efforts.

A missing, probably dead, intern that had a relationship with a Congressman that sits on the House Intelligence committee is news.

When a PATHETIC EXCUSE for a congressman has to be hidden from the press because he is still on the House Intelligence Committee and SHOULDN'T BE that's news! This man should be exposed for the CREEP he is and I don't care how it's done (Tabloids or NOT!) He should not even show his face at the WTC site - He is a disgrace to the position he holds!

Another one of our leaders who spend more time chasing skirt than taking care of our intelligence needs.

I tell you, the DEMONcRATS are the most luckiest people on the face of the earth. How sad, to think that, this horrific act on our soil saved Condidit's butt. REAL SAD!

I am looking but the press wasn't around when he did the tour. Boy the creeps sure kept this a secret!
