So the committee reports to Clapper, and Clapper tells the President and Congress what that report says, after appropriate editing for style, spelling, and spin…

And Zero wonders why we don’t trust or believe him.

We need a stated ‘cooling off period’ for officials caught blatantly lying, a length of time long enough for most people to forget the official does bad Joe Isuzu imitations, or they should just go out and hire David Leisure as their official briefer … at least we could get a laugh.

Because of <i>course</i> James Clapper is going to do a really independent and super-honest review of NSA spying. You can trust him like a used car salesman. Oh wait... :twisted: - Badtux the Snarky Penguin]]> And now over at EmptyWheel we find out that the independent review of the NSA’s activities is going to be conducted by… the Booz Allen Hamilton Director of National Intelligence™ .

He hasn’t fought for anything that didn’t involve enriching the 1% and corporations. Hell, he didn’t offer as much support as Dick Cheney on the issue.

He came out in favor of allowing gay marriage and for repeal of DOMA. After five years of opposing gay marriage and supporting DOMA, but still.

Other than that, I can’t think of anything.
