Negroponte is about to go to sleep giving his opening statement

[The Whiskey Priest]

I think Senator Pat’s committee is boring the shit out of him….he, Negroponte, has stumbled and bumbled around for the last 30 minutes….I cannot tell if he is against or supporting terrorism…as far as I can discern he thinks everyone with the exception of some small village in upper Maine is a threat....guess if you are not torturing and killing Guatemalan Indians he just isn’t interested.

Senator Pat doesn't look much less bored...a couple of the guest at the hearing are banging water bottles into their heads to stay awake.

Thank God for Edit: I know what he is doing, he is trying to cover his ass...he is covering everything...it came to me when he named the Campfire Girls as a suspect group.

1. I wish someone would through a water bottle at him to shut him up.

This is torture in and of itself. Maybe * thinks he can get them off the game by boring them to death.

Won't have times for questions.

9. Yep. He's filibustering - droning on about those evil impoverished rebels

... all over the world who're resisting their capitalist overlords in economically-oppressed nations across the globe. Negroponte never saw a democratic, grassroots movement he supported. He's a Batista/Pinochet sycophant. Utterly fascist!

7. 9am on the West Coast and I feel like I need a nap

did you hear how he pronounced Marijuana? Mar-ji-wa-na :rofl:

[doublethink]

8. You'd think he's filibustering or something till the bombing .......

of Iran starts and then it will be too late to ask any questions! :crazy: Sheesh! That long drawn out speech seeing the boogie man everywhere in the world, under every rock and tree. Yea way past time for the mute button. :boring: Peace.

10. most in his statement are not what I would consider intelligence issues

Chavez and Venezuela's oil, Haitian refugees, alternative energy?

11. I call him Necroponte...

because he seems to love death so much.
