I suppose it was good while it lasted.

On Olberman now -- he failed a psyche exam.

2. Perhaps, but aren't there other whistleblowers?
I seem to recall there being 12 people who came forward to talk to the Times for this story.

10. Well,
he better not let them decide he needs "observation" or "hospitalization" (say for clinical depression).

'Cause then he'll be screwed-to-the-second-power.

15. yep -- When I was in the military
I had a friend who got into a lot of trouble for speaking his mind.

They sent him to the shrink.

When he got back to the company area, he went to his room and took his clothes off.

Ran into the commander's office, jumped on his desk, and shook his dick at him.

Needless to say, he was the most popular guy on the kaserne :D

Shortly after that he was discharged :D

17. Heard It On Democracy Now Today... Said He Couldn't Testify
because Congress didn't have enough "clearance" to "hear" what he had to say!

Hey folks... is it time to give up??? I really really wonder... with each scandal I get my hopes up, only to have them dashed away with several days!

America is sick and dying!!

19. Fill In the Blanks....
Not sure what the TRUE ending to the phrase goes, but seems like an appropriate ending would be... they kick you in the ASS!
