[...] A year after John Negroponte became the first director of national intelligence, key lawmakers worry that the spy agency is not fulfilling its vital mission. The office is â€œnot adding any valueâ€ by enlarging the bureaucracy, said House Intelligence Committee Chairman Pete Hoekstra (R-MI). â€œThey’re lengthening the time to make things happen.â€ (Maybe that has something to do with the 3 hours a day Negroponte spends at a health club?)

Negroponte is merely following the dictates of the president and congress.

The shruyb spends less time in his office than just about any president in the history of this country.

The puke led congress puts in less and less time each session for the past three sessions.

This is what POWER does for you. You vote them in en mass and you have yourself one big mess.

Who was that other Bush admin. official ?? The one that asked for tie & suit advice by e-mail ?? Michael Brown, The FEMA Chief !! It seems the only requirement to be in the Bush administration is knowing to enjoy life and power !! :D

All these motherf*ckers need to hang. Hold the trials, set up the gallows and hang Bush and all his criminial lackeys. These pricks don’t realize they are suppose to be servants of the people. Washington is a country club for rich ass holes helping their friends get richer while their leader cuts funding to disabled kids. It is time to start over from scratch. Let ‘em burn. Negropnte, Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Gonzales, Rice, Rove, Chertoff, you are hereby found guilty of treason against the people of the United States of America, you will summarily be hung by the neck until dead.

This is what we are paying for folks. He needs to get off his privileged ass and go to work. The “public servants” have completely forgotten who they serve. None of the posers in Washington work an honest day…it’s stealing from the taxpayers. By the way, your congress is getting ready to go on another break!

yes, marie – the panel has given the information that the people need – they have agreed and advised: it is up to the people now…
i thought it was cool when lapham said he wouldn’t be surprised by a real revolution – take it to the streets! i sure am ready!
how about that dude at the end? – thought he was gonna pitch a fit with the questioners… if he’d just let them speak instead of inturrepting… it almost got mean… i thought he was a bit too short and “tyranical”…
it turned out well though…

It takes time just like 72-74, and this time we have not ability to get the congress to hold oversitr like in the case of Nixon, but that don’t mean the people don’t know.

Ralph Reed was toughed by the scandal and the christian right is backing away from him in Georgia.

The solution resides out here not in DC and many more people get it then the MSM or the DC crew realises.

Clif, I was both encouraged and discouraged by this forum. A few months ago, I also saw the meeting, Downing Street Memo, (forced to be held in the basement storage room). There is a strong base supporting the removal of this regime, I believe, but it is having a hard time getting out the message. The press is DOA. If the public is unaware, the ground swell won’t occur.
Now the drumbeat has begun for something drastic to happen in Iran.

#21 Marie, Too bad I live in Kentucky if they were going to look into impeachment(which they won’t) they’d have to do the governor first for the scandal he had to pardon a bunch of his administration for and is now in court trying to stop the investigation.

Interesting forum, Katy. Thanks for the tip. It’s nearly over now, and they have fairly clearly explained the hows and whys of impeachment. I took away from it — the people have to begin this movement – we must pressure our legislators. It took two years to impeach Nixon and he was very popular early in his second term.
Impeachment is a safeguard provided by our founders against tyranny – the people must use it. The press is absent. The press sees the branches of government as Pres. Reps. and Dems. There are many reasons for their non-reporting, but the disappointment is palpable, so we must take up the battle from the ground.

Come on — we’ve come a long way from John’s old days in Honduras.

He can run Death Squads and dope deals in 10 countries simultaneously, all from his Blackberry. Negroponte isn’t tied to the office anymore, now that US terrorism is wi-fi compatible.

It’s the uber-echelon republican work ethic in action, as set forth by the example of their leader King (it’s hard work) George.

Aren’t these the same people who scream “Welfare Fraud!”?
Well what are we doing but subsidize his 3 hr. lunch, and Bush’s bike rides and daily work-outs, etc.?

Hypocrites.

Monkey see Monkey do.
The work ethic is “strong” particularly for those doing the “hard work” just like the managerial style of Bush&Co.
Although, I don’t suppose it is easy to keep track of all the lies he’s told, the killings he’s arranged — he has to relax his tense muscles and ease his conscience – keep those memories at bay.
Like Cheney, Rumsfeld, Bush and the others, the more rotten you are the longer you stay on this earth.
