no joe, no bo, nj: ‘…He does not acknowledge the many contributions made by the space program-possibly he does not know of them.  I'll give you one contribution, beyond space exploration, that many Americans benefit from:

kidney dialysis…’

jojo, Don’t forget Tang !!
Theat was developed by the Space Program
This vitamin and mineral packed elixir was a wonder drug that
‘Helps Build Strong Bodies TWELVE DIFFERENT WAYS !!

And, jojo, don’t forget the Jetsons !!!
Many of the plots for the Jetsons were taken from NASA !!

Remember that guy who hit a GOLF BALL on the MON ??
WOW  jojo !!!

That justifies all those TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS squandered on NASA !!

NASA has become a jobs program for the War Machine (aka: Military-Industrial Complex) (aka Republican campaign contributors)

There IS NO JUSTIFICATION for Manned Space Flight
Science can be more efficiently accomplished by unmanned probes

No reason for manned flight except to fund military contractors

We have a DEFICIT, jojo
Don’t you KNOW THAT ?
We gotta cut somewhere
Let’s start with NASA…..

Cut Manned Space Flight !
Cut Star Wars !!
End the ‘Militarization of Space’ !!
Cut the F-22 !!

Democrats Against DEFICITS

Stop the Drunken Astronauts !!


jojo, ARE YOU SERIOUS ABOUT DEFICITS  ??

Apparently Rep Jane Harman has been caught with her HANDS IN THE COOKIE JAR

She was asked to intervene in a Judicial proceding on the behalf of the Israeli lobby

In return, the Israeli lobby offered her the Intelligence Committe Chairmanship

Does a foreign lobby have THAT MUCH POWER ??\SHOULD IT HAVE THAT MUCH POWER

The Jucicial procedings may have been about Israeli espionage on the US !!

Something's ROTTEN IN DENMARK !!

Good for her now lets take down The Dick Cheney Hitler Klan and the propaganda NON-American Owned Network of FOX NEWS

Time to do some cleaning.  Release all information regarding the former dunce in chief and his band of merry cohorts.  They put soldiers in jail for doing what they ordered them to do, now it is time for them to face the same penalty!

Imagine that.  A member of Congress totally outraged by NSA wiretaps.  A chilling effect on elected officials.  Hmmm.  You mean the same elected officials who got in bed with the Bush administration to enable the wiretaps in the first place?  You mean a chilling effect on influence peddling?  

My, my, my.  Ain't that a shame?  

Who was that again who said, "as you sow, so shall you reap"?  

p.s.  I won't use the old line about lying down with dogs and getting up with fleas.  That would just be an insult to dogs.  These folks definitely deserve each other.  

When you have to go on the credible Sean Hannity Show you have no crediblity.  Cheney went to the one place where he knew he would never be cross- examined and that was Sean Hannity and John King. I would like to see him on This Week, Face the Nation, Rachel Maddow, Hardball, Lawrence O’Donell, The Shuster, The View, Tamron Hall, Contessa Brewer, Norah O’Donnell, Mat Lauder, Katie Couric  and even Rick Sanchez, Seth Meyers, DL Hugely or Chris Rock would do a better interview than Sean Hannity or John King.

I continue to update credible interviewer

Jane...you are barking up the wrong tree,your buddy GWB was the one that had you tapped,he tapped who he wanted,he used you like a door mat.But when you trust the republicans you where in bed with,you will always get the poopy end of the stick.But since they have you cold turkey maybe try the truth,you played with repuks and got burned.

Am I the only one who feels like an important card at the bottom of the 'house' has shifted on its foundation?  This sh!t is about to hit the fan and it will be far more widespread and 'over reaching' than even the most skeptic among us (me) even thought possible.  (of course the opposition party will claim it's either just a 'flesh wound' or it was necessary to save us).

The previous administration outed a CIA agent, wiretapped 'party opposition' leaders, tortured and illegally detained prisoners of war and who the he!! knows what else is in the pipeline.

May we all survive the fallout as we rebuild our country and Constitution.  Retrieving it from the clutches of the fear mongers and war mongers.

Re:  Dick Cheney

This man has struggled with serious cardiovascular problems for decades.  Consider all his heart attacks, surgery, medications - he obviously has a superhuman will to survive.  Do any of you really think that Dick Cheney is going down without a fight?  He's going to keep hitting President Obama at every opportunity.  It's in his nature.  I say, ignore his outbursts.  They make him feel alive.  He thinks he's still a player.

Re: Morning Joe

Please, MSNBC, seriously consider revamping this show.  An obnoxious, bloviating host with sycophants as his sidekicks is unpleasant to watch and beneath NBC standards (or should be.)  What would Edward R. Murrow say?  I have watched Mika Bryzinski's spirit wilt like a dying flower over the past year.  I really don't enjoy watching an abusive relationship unfold each morning with my first cup of coffee.  Why should I have to switch channels?  FIX THE SHOW!

I couldn't agree more especially in regards to Morning Joe. To watch and listen to Joe Scarborough this morning and I quote "What the Hell are you talking about Mika" was so bad that the President of this station had to send him an email telling him he was unwatchable.  I simple can't understand why they would allow Joe Scarborough to get away with this abusive behavior. When Mika first started on this show we all admired her but its like any woman in an abusive relationship when you are continually bullied you either summit or get out and she has chosen to stay and MSNBC/NBC has refused to protect her.

This is 3 Hours of abusive Monday through Friday by the words of Joe Scarborough.

My question is why was a member of Congress wire tapped in the first place?  This seems like something Stalin would do if he had the technology and trusted people to do it.  I can see one reason why she would want the transcripts to be released -- libel lawsuit.  

Let me be absolutely clear: I never contacted the Department of Justice, the White House or anyone else to seek favorable treatment regarding the national security cases on which I was briefed, or any other cases.
--------------------------------------------------

Oh my dear Jane....whether they contacted you or you contacted them. is there really a difference in the outcome?

"My intention is to make this material available to the public." OK, more memos coming. I would suggest that Eric start looking for two Special Prosecutors, one to investigate torture and war crimes, and one to investigate NSA.  Then Eric, you can go about your business of rebuilding the DOJ.  What a difficult job.

You have to wonder what else will be leaked and how it will be spun.  Wire-tapped conversations leaking to the press (even if legit) should be looked at as to why the leaking.  Is it for political gain?  We the "little people" in this country are not too suprised by the antics done by the previous adminstration.  Yet all I have heard the past few days is how awful it is that Obama shook the hand of Chavez and now the country will be looked as a weakened!!
Is not wire tapping your own countrymen, torture, false imprisonment, invading other countries all signs that WE have become what the republicans are so riled against in Chavez and Cuba??

MSiera:  I am not shocked that you favor gutting the space program-it is a favorite liberal target.

After all, a bunch of unemployed engineers and 'rocket scientists' mean nothing to you, as long as there is plenty of welfare to keep people living at subsistance levels.

What was it Lenin said?  "Get them by the stomachs and genitals, and their hearts and minds will follow"...

Yes, lets declassify all the congressional intercepts on congress - as a start. Then we can see the fur fly in all directions.

Why are we so obcessed with Israel? It seems to me she can take care of herself. More and more seems to come out about someone or another on behalf of Israel. While they are and should be an ally and we should certainly support our allies, I believe we go too far with Israel. Harmon is one of many who will be caught or have been caught in Israel's bagel jar.

Wiretapping seems to be the modus operandai of the Bush Administration against anyone who even hinted at possibly disagreeing with them. What a shame that the Constitution was so abused by those rats. This smacks of 1930's Germany.

2009 - Will be a horrific political year, As the Democrats attempts to clean the mess of the past Bush Administration, save our country's financial well being and world standing.

Vendettas will surface - the GOP will leak and say untrue to save face, it will become nasty.

Thanks to George Bush, our country will suffer for years because of his awful decisions and non-actions.

President Obama is the only person that will get us out of this debacle and the GOP will do nothing to help - they will be too consumed in their own political survival and focused on saving asses of their political equals.

Put your seat belt on America - it's going to be a bumpy ride.

Thank you and GOD BLESS AMERICA

Yeah, but can we really trust the FBI's former top counterintelligence official?

Clara, Kansas City:

Relax, it's just common ordinary U.S. self-flagellation.  It's our way.  It's what our citizens demand.  It's what the world demands.  It's what keeps our media thriving and the sound bites coming.

It makes Bush haters feel better.  It encapsulates the logic of those who believe we should "reach out" to the Hugo's and Fidel's of the world in the interest of "understanding" and more self-flagellation.

There is always something else in the pipline.  And I don't think anything can surpass the imagination of those who believe we are the worst country to have ever existed.

Of course I exaggerate.  When in Rome . . .

justwaitandsee:

Do you really think Cheney would speak differently to any of those other media titans?  He would answer any question they could come up with.

You just don't like the answers.

Live with it.

(I've got it on good authority that he made his decision based on viewership.  Why make multiple trips to reach fewer people elsewhere?)

Little did we know that the organization that we need to fear the most, is the Democrats in congress, and in the White House.

Is it possible that all of you Obama worshippers are so blind or naive that you don't see the connection between the release of the 'CIA memos', this story, and the completely under-reported story that another high ranking Obama official is going to be indicted for paying a $1million bribe?

Steven Rattner has been named in an investigation report; of course, Obama is 'standing behind' him-and deflecting attention from the problem by waving shiny objects in front of the media.

ADAY:

Right on, buddy!  You are the perfect model of extreme left wing bull****!  We love ya!  Long live ADAY!  In ADAY we trust!

Censor FOX News! Put Rush Limbaugh in prison! Shut other people UP!

Yeah! That's the ticket! That's the change we want!

Put Republicans and Conservatives in camps! Yeah! Confiscate their wealth and disinherit their children!  Or wish that their children die!

Long live Ahmedinejad! Long live Fidel's cadaver! Long live Kim Jong-Il!  Long live Hugo!  We have misunderstood them for too long!  Hugo says we're closer than ever to Venezuelan socialism!

Long live ADAY's propaganda!

Yeah!  Hate people!  Hate Fox News! Hate Republicans!
Hate people different than me!

Wow, that IS kind of exhilarating, isn't it?

justwaitandsee:

Why don't you just interview him?

“You can't do that.”
Whom did the senators and congress think the NSA was watching? The answer is everyone. As for Fox News and many other media outlets Rupert Murdoch owns them. You should goggle Mr. Murdock and ask your self why does he control most of the major media outlets in the world? “Money that’s what I want.” He will do anything to sell a paper or a headline. He specialized in tabloid Journalism, before owning legitimate news outlets.

PROSECUTE REP. HARMON.  She is now trying the failed tactics of Gov. Blago --- holler, scream, lie, scream, holler --- then go to jail!

It all happened in the Bush Administration who was in charge of the agencies. Yet, I am sure that in some blog there is already comments blaming the Obama administration. The rabid right will find this all too difficult to work with. Who will Cheney blame? Who will Fox blame?

George Bush and the GOP 8 years of governing left us the 8 year gift that just won't keep on giving. Rove, Cheney and the boys worked so hard to divide the country. They finally did so but it backfired when people finally got tired of the lies, the manipulation. But, bad news continues to divide. The rabid right cannot do anything but fight it, deny, blame, scream. And FOX, Limbaugh, and the dittoheads will just keep at it to get the crazies all worked up. It makes them good money. To hell with the good of the nation.

The postings are all over the place.  Stick to the topic at hand.  Rep. Jane Harman (D) has called out the media to prove the case.  I for one amy interested in seeing all of the information that she is requesting to see if in fact, she is guilty of any wrong doing.  It has nothing to do with the fact that the woretaps were obtained during the Bush administration, they were released under the current administrations control.  If she is innocent, all the information on the wiretaps will prove that fact.  If she isn't and just posturing, call her bluff and end it right now in public.
