From that story the thing that stands out are the fines. Qwest didn’t want to pay, they said “Hey as long as you get it all legal we will play ball.”
The NSA said no, showing it wasn’t legal and they knew it. So they went to plan be, threats, which they (or someone) carried out. ‘If you don’t play ball we will reveal some nasty stuff about your CEO. Now will you play ball?”

No. Nasty stuff happens. That is the message that they sent to the other lawyers and CEOs at the other telcos. “You go against us it will cost you, you play ball you will be protected.”

Without those new ly elected it could have been worse although I don’t know how. If you really want to throw things get some big grapefruits are fun to play catch with they spatter well. Better when smashed.

Where we are now is not hearings. That is long in the past, and limited info was given, including many stonewalls.

We’re at the floor of the Senate in 2 weeks, with S. 2248 with Democratic majority leader Harry Reid trying to slam through immunity, and the remainder of the content of the Bill has DOJ and DNI making calls as to what’s illegal, not the FISA court, who rarely turned down a warrant –5/20,000 in its entire history.

Plus it is playoff time. These folks have invested time and money watching commercials for beer, shaving cream, cell phones etc.
Now it’s time to see the mega adds, the winning teams and the coaching polls…it will be over soon and back to ho hum political blogging.
One plus if we could get sports fans to follow the blogs and be mad about the Tillman murder it could help stop the wars.

I don’t hire NYT columnists, and what is obvious to you may not be as obvious to everyone. The Repubs are putting Romney on in the general. Maybe you can help Obama or Edwards write attack ads.

“…ineffectual nitwit.”

Yes, thank you Eli that rally sums her up. Her photo dancing with other bozo Hoyer says it in another way.

But I have to say when you put meat in the grinder it comes out hamburger usually. Kuccinich has backbone very unique political animal. Money presuure and threats don’t bother Dennis I love the guy.

To bad america is so rotten we can’t see honesty and pricipals as worth more than wealth. We are Material Girls and Boys as Madonna sang in a material world. I can’t wait til the shop til you drop crowd is spent out.

You didn’t hit a nerve. “Nailing” that some nutjob Republican candidate is going to lose the general is like “nailing” that the sun is going to rise tomorrow.

Brooks is a fucking shill. The fact that he might occasionally correctly recognize something as obvious as the law of gravity doesn’t change that. And if he is a good travel writer, then he should stick with that, and stop soiling the political discourse with his diaper leakage.
