Maureen Dowd... New Title... Plagarist...

She lifted a whole paragraph from a liberal blogger about the Bush Administration hiding intelligence on a whole slew of stuff as a pretext to war. Now only did she copy the whole thing word for word and not give credit where it was due, but she used the typical leftist screed about pre-war intel and how we were lied too as well. So she's a double dipper. She uses someone else lies to insert as her own. Nice. What's worse now is that I imagine all of her work now will undergo an audit and special scrutiny.

*as a disclaimer I used source material once to make a point on an environmental issue. I have a ton, and I mean just reams and reams of typewritten texts on all kinds of subjects without a source from whence they came, but it had no source until someone else pointed it out to me the source it came from. Mayhem ensued. However, in Ms. Dowds case she knew where it came from and who wrote it and still didn't credit it.

Inflation is the the bitch you can't hide under your bed...

Well, well, well. Looks like Mr. Barely has delivered a speech in New Mexico that talks about this countries long term debt problem. A problem that this man has not only allowed to occur under his watch, but exacerbate even further by allowing the type of pork barrel spending to occur that he signed into office. So let me get this straight, you create the problem of running up the highest debt rate this country has ever seen. You are now the architect of trillions of dollars of interest payments alone for the next 15 years. You've foisted a debt load on the next 5 generations that they most likely will never be able to pay. You've now saddled this country with a burgeoning inflation rate that will dwarf anything in the 70's because of the funny money you allowed to be printed up. You've begged the Chinese to keep buying all of this poison in the hopes that they continue to do so and you have the nerve, THE NERVE, to say in a speech in New Mexico that we have a long term debt problem?!?!

Is this the hope and change you have promoted. Create a problem by not calling it one and then when the reality of the problem hits you in the face you go on a speech tour and say it's a problem in the hopes that people don't look at you like a dog that just heard a funny sound and believe that you didn't create this problem? Seriously? What chapter does this fall under in the Alinsky Bible or are you writing new chapters? Where are the final boundaries of your incompetence?

Another emperor and those are nice looking threads you have there, sir.

It wasn't me... It was the one armed man...

Nancy Pelosi has been caught not only with her pants down from lying, but with her skin sagging from the weight of the lie, and her crone-like claws in the cookie jar all at the same time. And what does she say when she has now been caught in that lie? She just lies some more by saying that she was lied to too by the CIA and the Bush Administration.

"To the contrary ... we were told explicitly that waterboarding was not being used,"

Really? Who told you that? Was the we you or your aide that lied to you or both?

"I wasn't briefed, I was informed that somebody else had been briefed about it,"

So you either didn't show up to the briefings which means you A) didn't care about the interrogation techniques being used on our enemies, or B) in sending your aid(s) to attend these briefings you implicitly gave your consent to the knowledge that these techniques were being employed or that you didn't care enough to intercede and have them stopped. So you either knew about them or someone in your office knew about them, which in either case means that you knew about them. How is it impossible for you to not know about them?

All someone has to do is present the records of the attendance of who was at these briefings and that would resolve this matter once and for all, no? Or have they disappeared or were never taken? Even HRL Boehner laughs in her face.

"When you look at the number of briefings that the Speaker was in and other Democrat members of the House and Senate, it's pretty clear that they were well aware of what these enhanced interrogation techniques were," said the Ohio lawmaker. "They were well aware that they had been used, and it seems to me that they want to have it both ways. You can't have it both ways."

And yet, this human shrew, this mental lightweight has the nerve to utter this patent lie:

"They [The CIA] mislead us all the time,"

"They [The Bush Administration] misrepresented every step of the way, and they don't want that focus on them, so they try to turn the attention on us," she said.

This woman is what is wrong with our leadership. She is a liar, a parasitic political opportunist, that is dressed in hypocrisy. She has no credibility and she will do anything to besmirch this country even further. To call her an American at this point is anathema to my good sense. She is neither a patriot nor a friend to this country. She is a bungler of facts, she distorts truth, she is a manufacturer of lies. She should step down and resign today for the good of the Congress and the country. Her continued lying cannot stand and I hope that Republicans do not let up on her. If they have any semblance of a spine left they will go for her juglar, but alas the only thing that will bleed out is dust.

How much more of this petty womans lies do we have to endure. We are being laughed at around the world because of this womans lack of leadership and the representation by this leftist Congress.
