Can someone fill me in on this Porter Goss thing?

I hear he's going to be on an outside ethics committee or something, do I have that right?

Wouldn't that be a little like appointing Henry Kissinger to be on a committee to investigate Operation Condor?

Still doesn't make sense, logically anyways.

6. Great thread

but I confess I'm too deeply in shock from such a stunningly bad judgment call from Pelosi to offer much comment or explanation.

Maybe somebody needs to do a tox screen on her.

2. Or like Kissinger being awarded

the Nobel Peace Prize, which prompted Tom Lehrer to quit performing, announcing "Satire is dead."

It smacks a bit of a Catholic priest - the unmarried, virginal kind - doing marriage counseling.

Or hiring Helen Keller as a security guard.

I could go on, but I'll stop now...................

5. Or having an idiot president of a superpower nation. Oh, wait... nt

3. Or Allen Dulles On The Warren Commission..

Oh wait, that really did happen.........:rofl: :rofl: :sarcasm: :hi:
