Damn ....I LIKE Sen Coleman!!!!

I do too ... it's a shame he has such a dippy, Dim wife.

[Mo1]

Was it just after Bolton quoted Ford?

Yes

[cyncooper]

I've bee running this on realplayer, let me just rewind.

I'm going to postpone running my errand to see what you find out.

[OXENinFLA]

I got it. it's right after Kerry goes "can I just take one molument?"

[Mo1]

So .. did he just out a CIA agent?

[kabar]

Thanks for the link. It looks like he is publicly declared and known, so mentioning his name was not a security violation, just a violation of his privacy. LOL.

[prairiebreeze]

I am positive about what I heard. As a former Foreign Service Officer, I have been listening closely to the hearing.

I hope someone in the MSM picks this up. Kerry just outed a CIA analyst who may or may not be an officer who could be or was assigned covert duties.

Bump!

[Txsleuth]

Well, darn, I guess that means he isn't the undercover they have been referring to, but then where did this name come from out of the blue---

I hadn't heard it said in the hearing at all before Kerry brought it up, and all he was doing was rehashing what the dems have been pounding Bolton on all day.

[Mo1]

Well, darn, I guess that means he isn't the undercover they have been referring to, but then where did this name come from out of the blue---

I don't know

[maggief]

Boxer up again ... oh my.

Look at that look on Allen's face.

LOL

[Mo1]

And I just want to say that Barbie's glowing orange suit is hurting my eyes

[tiredoflaundry]

It's Bab's & her bathrobe again!

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Boxer up now trying to get us back on the tangent!!!!

[Mo1]

Boxer wants Bolton to apologize to Westman ??

[Txsleuth]

BABS is telling Bolton to apologize to the guy---

WTF--who do these people think they are?

[maggief]

[tiredoflaundry]

hahahahahaha!

[OXENinFLA]

Yes, he does, he quoted from some transcript.

KERRY: "30sec. Mr. Chairman. This is reading from Mr. Flightses(sp) interview where he says did Otto Reich(sp) share his belief that Fulton Armstrong should be removed from this position, the answer is yes. Did John Bolton share that view? Mr. Flights said "Yes"

When Bolton comes back he say Mr. SMITH right away.

[Mo1]

Did Boxer call Allen a liar for his assessment?

[YaYa123]

Senator Boxer questioning Senator Allen???? She's lovely today in her pastel peachy suit. She's going the humiliation route. 'outrageous' she sayss, that Bolton called a war hero a munchkin, but she admits it's not a reason to keep him from becoming the UN ambassador.

Boxer is such an over the top actresss.....like she's reading to a class of 4 year olds who need lots of dramatic emphasis. I think Senator Allen would like to slap her! Me too!!!
