Do we need a 'scrabbleface' category for these articles?

#3 Sen Spector (R-PA) also supported the cut, which amounted to about 1% of the intel budget. Apparently NSA had lots of unspent funds from prior years.

#4 and he has the gaul to say intelegence failed in respect to terrorism..another symtom of a left tree hugger full of his own dilusion....

#5 Liberalhawk - Spector is the most liberal Republican in the Senate with a liberal rating higher than some Democrats Using him to say the cuts were bipartisan isn't very helpful.

#6 The National Recon Org had been "hiding" about $300 million a year which had been used, among other things, to build a nice spiffy new building out in western Fairfax County they were pretending to lease from a private owner. Then somebody got the bright idea they could save the property tax money and claimed their government status to the county revenuers. This pissed off many Congresscritters on both sides of the aisle, resulting in a spate of these "reduce NRO's budget by $300 million a year" bills - Kerry's was one of many. Kerry's an ass, but this one's a bum rap.
