Even the Washington Post gets it.

What's striking about the charges by Mr. Freeman and like-minded conspiracy theorists is their blatant disregard for such established facts. Mr. Freeman darkly claims that "it is not permitted for anyone in the United States" to describe Israel's nefarious influence. But several of his allies have made themselves famous (and advanced their careers) by making such charges -- and no doubt Mr. Freeman himself will now win plenty of admiring attention. Crackpot tirades such as his have always had an eager audience here and around the world. The real question is why an administration that says it aims to depoliticize U.S. intelligence estimates would have chosen such a man to oversee them.

A gust of flatulence from the Saudi's favorite bloated buttboy. Yeah, I really trusted this jerkwater to provide objective, impartial intel to our president(Not that he would have cared or known the difference.)

Hussein tried to install an enemy of America into intelligence?

God help us.

Isn’t it telling that this administration, which received unprecedented levels of transition cooperation from President Bush, still can’t get it right?

By contrast, President Bush was thrown in without a “honeymoon” or much help (and perhaps more than one act of hindrance) from the outgoing Clinton people in 2000 , and did a far better job putting a team together than the lightweight we have now has done.

No, Ambassador, it all stems from the crudely obvious fact that you, sir, are an anti-Semitic sack o' shit and an eager, vocal butt puppet for the throat-slitting Wahhabi Lobby.

What a sad excuse for a nominee. Going out the door with no class.

Yes, though BHO's complete inability to assess associates character should have been obvious to anyone familiar with his background. A shame McCain refused to raise an important issue, BHO's poor judgement.

Nail on the head, my friend, on all counts.

It’s gonna be a loooong four years.

He can blame the Jews. He doesn’t like the Jews and the Jews don’t like him

And, I'm sure you remember that Pres Bush was held up for 5 wks by AlGore, was mocked as illegitimate and accused of stealing the election.

By the MSM and the UnAmerican Democrat Party in Congress.

It was despicable behavior.

And a matter of months later was 9/11.

President Bush, VP Cheney, Rummy, Condi, all were rocks, very steady, and never let us see them sweat.

We were lucky to have had them.

Gee, are you saying that you don’t have the same confidence in Mr President Bareback Oblunder? Come on, just because the guy has no business or political experience to handle the job, and has made some horrible decisions so far, that he can’t grow into the job?!

Bears repeating since you say it so well!

This guy wasn’t nominated by Obama.

Anyway, you should hear his statement. Anti-jewish obsession, but, he had to deal with the China and Saudi issue somehow, so he quickly stated “I never took money from a foreign government.”

Weasel words. He took money from a company owned by the Chinese government and his Saudi money to his org came from a prince, not the Saudi government directly.

About as convincing as “I didnt inhale” - the princes *are* the Government, it’s a Kingdom!

This guy bootlicks the Saudis and the Chicoms, and he thinks the Israel lobby has conflicted loyalties? Honestly, if The Lobby had anything to do with this guy getting run...thanks, guys. Good job.

“He can blame the Jews. He doesn’t like the Jews and the Jews don’t like him”

That’s what I think. I think he chose Jewish Ram Emanuel to give the public someone tangible to blame as he moves to acoomplilsh his Marxist vision.
