..look for Hillary to resign at some point and begin campaigning for 2012--running to Obama's right...

Are there any pols who could run to the left of Obama? Is there anyone in the US that "left"?

On April 29, 1996, the wires flashed with hot news: Former CIA Director William Colby had disappeared from his country home on the Wicomico River in Maryland. Authorities suspected he died in a canoeing accident, as his waterlogged canoe was found on the shore near his home.

A week later, his body surfaced in the marsh near his home. After a perfunctory autopsy, local police authorities closed the case as an accident.

Leon was tapped as an idiot clown to head the CIA. Set up, knocked down.

You’re probably thinking about Bill Colby, CIA director in the 1970’s, who died mysteriously while sailing alone on Chesapeake Bay about a dozen years ago.

Colby died in an alleged canoeing accident somewhere between his home on Neale Sound and the Wicomico River in Charles County, Maryland, a long way from the Chesapeake Bay.

Speculation as to his death being other than an accident arose from his being involved in evaluating FLIR footage of the Waco massacre, which allegedly contained images of US personnel firing on the Branch Davidians as they attempted to exit the burning complex, and which allegedly contained images of Government personnel engaging in firing on the Davidians after breaching part of the building from the back.

Speculation as to who caused the fire may also have been verified/refuted by that footage as well.

Colby was one of three FLIR experts to (seperately) meet an apparently untimely end as the information was being examined, was an experienced canoeist, knew the waters there and their quirks of tide and weather (had lived there some time), and his body was found without a life jacket about 100 yards downriver of Lancaster's Bar (that's a sand/oyster bar, not the drinking kind) after a three day search, the most extensive ever conducted in the area for a missing boater.

It is unlikely that he would have gone out without a flotation device alone, and injuries to the body further fueled speculation that his demise was not an accident.

He is probably powerless and stuck in the middle.

The other day, Hannity said that after the shouting match at the WH, Panetta had to send out an agency-wide memo to buck-up the troops ...

Hannity also said it is the 6th such memo Panetta has had to write ...

I’d be sick of the sh*t too, if I were Panetta ...

lets see....didn’t a CIA director die in a canoeing accident?That would be William Colby.

When I was in school he came and lectured one night. Afterwards, on a lark, in true spy fashion I followed him from the lecture hall, through the student center, through the campus woods and all the way to the parking lot. I was just curious if he had any bodyguards lurking about or if he did anything to see if he was being "followed".

Sadly he did not. Kind of popped my balloon about spies.

is that an allusion to the phrase “moving the deck chairs around” or perhaps a possible inspiration for michelle obama’s wardrobe?
