1. How about sundown tonight?

Not Monday.

[mmonk]

14. No, noon tomorrow In Tombstone Arizona.

[Donnachaidh]

2. And she'll blow him off as usual

When Congress asks for anything, they are ignored.

[Golden Raisin]

27. Exactly. She'll either ignore/scoff at

any Congressional subpoenas or show up and lie through her teeth.

3. Henry you should read the internet tubes

Computer Sciences Corporation a subsidiary of DynCorp




but Condi should answer you, in a timely fashion, like she always does :sarcasm:

[malaise]

26. LOL

State Department doesn't realize that the name will be on the news in a few hours. DUers posted it within minutes last night. :rofl:

4. This is low-level folks. They'll be sacrificed, their blood used to grease

the wheels of tv-justice.

[pscot]

6. Blood soaked wheels

of TV-justice. Sounds like a concept for a new reality show. Bring back flogging.

5. No reason not to share the names. If these guys were using a...

...database which was audited so carefully that mere unauthorized accessing of a record (as opposed to printing it out or modifying it) causes people to be fired, I guarantee that they had security clearance of some sort.

  Nomatter who these jokers are, I want to see them prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, something they agreed to understanding the penalties of when being given that clearance.

17. Exactly! If there is nothing more than mere "curiosity"

then their names should be made public and they don't have as much to be afraid of. . .of course, once their backgrounds are checked, that might change. . .

[Ichingcarpenter]

7. If all of them were sub contractors for the same company

we have a conspiracy of major proportions.

[orangerevolution]

8. What if it Turns out These Contractors

Voted for John Kerry in 2004? That would really bite.

[Winterblues]

9. How would anyone know

No one puts their name on their ballot..

[orangerevolution]

11. A reporter could ask?

Was that to hard?

[Beetwasher]

13. Gee, It's Not Like They Could Lie Or Anything?

Jeenyus, this is BUSH'S DOS doing this.

[orangerevolution]

19. Now that it has been reported

that all three of the current presidential candidates files have been breached, what are the odds that all the candidates files were breached before they dropped out?

And what does that mean?

[Beetwasher]

22. That John Kerry Is Responsible?

:rofl:

Seriously, WTF are you talking about?

Who runs the State Dept? Do you even know?

[libnnc]

24. Democrates!11!!1 Seriesly!!11

:dunce:

[Kingofalldems]

25. I nominate Joe DiGenova and Victoria Toensing to investigate

They'll find out what fer. What do you think?

[Beetwasher]

10. LOL!!!!

Good lord are you an idiot.

[Kingofalldems]

12. That would be Hugh!!!111!1!!

Don't you think? Nevermind the fact that this admin would never give a contract to a company that supported Democrats.

[libnnc]

16. Dumbest post of the day.

Congrats. You just won a flaming bag of poo! :applause:

[Kingofalldems]

18. And it's not the only one he has posted

There are two more on other threads.

[libnnc]

20. just saw the other one

He thinks just because there are multiple threads it gives him permission to spam.

Idiot.

[orangerevolution]

28. Are the multiple threads that are started

considered spam? And if so, will you be sharing your opinion with them as well?

[fascisthunter]

21. you seem really concerned about this news

:think:

[orangerevolution]

31. It would seem I was pretty close

to nailing this one. Not exactly, but close enough.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

15. Apparently there are more private contractors than employees in the Passport Services

division of the State Department. I heard the press conference this morning with the person from the U.S. Department of State who said there were over 2,000 private contractors and just over 1,000 employees in Passport Services. He said the reason for so much privatizing was to save money. Has privatization always been that big in the State Department? I find the numbers a little surprising.

23. If She Denies This Request, She Makes Herself Duplicitous

I like Waxman's strategy.... the White House is BUSTED! Down with the right wing....

[coalition_unwilling]

29. She's already 'duplicitous'. If she denies the request, I think you

mean Kindasleezy makes herself 'complicit' (in the sense of 'contributing to or aiding').

[fascisthunter]

30. yes (nt)

[mmonk]

32. And then he will hold his breath for 60 seconds and then move on.
