Aha! Who's resposible for the UAE Ports fiaso? BILL CLINTON!

[brooklynite]

It is surprising to me that Rowan Scarborough would be surprised by the fact that the president or Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff had no knowledge of the ports deal approval until it became public ("Chertoff unaware of ports deal until after OK," Page 1, yesterday). These are huge agencies. Many of them are filled with holdovers, at all levels, from previous administrations. Contrary to what reporters might think, the department or agency heads do not see every action that underlings perform, and sometimes those actions are contrary to the current administration, depending upon the mind-set or political affiliation of the underlings. I would be curious to know who supposedly sat on the Committee on Foreign Investments in the United States and actually saw and signed the deal -- and what their political affiliation is.

I knew it ha to happen eventually...

1. What took them so long this time?

It usually takes about 24 hrs to figure out some byzantine logic that blames Clinton.

I guess this one took a little longer.

[PurpleChez]

3. Bwah-HA!

There are probably GOP theoriticians and theologians working to find some logically defensible way to blame Clinton for things that happened before he was born. Some weird version of Calvinist predetermination, perhaps.

[Dunvegan]

5. Bingo...PurpleChez...oy, so true.

[BiggJawn]

4. They tried tieing it first to The Mighty CLENIS...

But that wouldn't work so they had to figure out how to involve ALL of Big Dawg's body.

Rush is getting slow in his old age. Must be worried about his mom finding him out now that Daryn "shaved his beard"...

[Swamp Rat]

8. Yes, the Clenis did it!

Damn! Took 'em long enough this time! :eyes:

[BlueEyedSon]

2. Reagan!

[Cobalt Violet]

6. I knew all along that ultimately, a Democrat had to be responsible.

After all, when was the last time a Republican was responsible?

:banghead::sarcasm:(except the last sentence).

[tanyev]

7. I really didn't fully appreciate Bill's omniscience and ominpotence

while he was in office.

[Canuckistanian]

10. His tentacles reach everywhere

And Clinton's dog ate my homework.

[Toots]

9. So Homeland Security and the Bush* Administration are huge agencies

Neither existed during Clinton's Term so there could be no holdovers.

[salin]

11. wasn't the committee just formed about four months ago?

Hard to think that it was "stacked" by Clintonites. Ridiculous spin.

[Marr]

12. Gotta love that 'party of personal responsibility'.

Such a joke.

[Laelth]

13. I knew it!

It had to be the Clenis!

:rofl:

14. Dang that Bill Clinton...

Dang that Bill Clinton, he's so powerful he continues to run the country 5 years after he left office. Pretty crafty of him.

I think Bill Clinton is also behind my cholesterol going up!

I'm surprised it took this long to bring up the Clenis.
