#2 Good on ya Sen. Pat Roberts,

Repubs better start fighting back, Start by indicting some Dimmidonk hacks and let them taste some legal consequences for a change, the leaking bastards.

#4 Every time I hear one of the Dhimmicrats feign outrage I am reminded of Captain Renault in Casablanca:
Rick: âWhy are you shutting us down?â
Renault: âI am shocked, SHOCKED to find that gambling is going on at Rickâsâ
Waiter (handing a wad of cash to Reanault): âHere are your winnings Captain Renault.â

#5 Looks like the SOP is, whenever they get a briefing on something sensitive, write a letter about their "deep concerns". Into the files it goes, just in case.

Reminds me of when I was in High School, and some pea-brained bureaucrat that was shoved into a position called "counsellor", would threaten to put something in someone's "permanent record" for some minor offense.

W must be laughing. Rockefeller is trading on the famly name to make his point.

#7 I saw a doco on the Rockefeller family a while back. The younger ones all went hard left in the Sixties. It was amusing at the time, listening to these long haired Rockefellers lecturing their parents on the evils of wealth and their dire fate when the Revolution comes. Not so amusing now.
How sharper than a serpents tooth, to have an ungrateful child.

#8 "disingenuous"
There's that word again, do all liberals use that word?

#9 As I remember, BigEd, wasn't one of them eaten by cannibals in Africa back in the 60s?
No, that's not a joke. He was kidnapped while in the Peace Corps in Africa or something like that.

#10 bigjim, that quote was referenced to Sen. Roberts who called Rockefeller to the mat. Not a lib in my book.

#11 Okay, I found it...

On November 18, 1961, Rockefeller and Dutch anthropologist RenÃ© Wassing were in a 40-foot dugout canoe about three miles from shore when they were swamped. The two native guides swam for help, but it was slow in coming. After drifting for some time, Rockefeller said "I think I can make it" and swam for shore. Wassing was rescued the next day, while Rockefeller was never seen again, despite a lengthy search effort. He was finally declared dead in 1964.
Most believe that Rockefeller either drowned, was attacked by a shark or crocodile, or was killed by the native cannibals. Some reports have surfaced of a white man living with the natives, but those stories are not widely believed.

#14 "Disingenuous"
A very handy word indeed. It allows you to call somebody a liar using softer Latin syllables.

Webster: "not candid, not straightforward, insincere."

Quotation: "Persons entirely disingenuous, who really do not believe the opinions they defend." --Hume

Synonyms: unfair, insincere, crafty, sly, cunning.
