and ask some real questions besides giggling about sexy things like Borat would

What about what Paula said at Denver University (I had Convention here and edited to correct), about the CIA holding Libyan prisoners. I have not heard one Yapper bring this up. Has anyone here heard this on our precious media?

I think this is THE question of the whole incident and might connect a lot of other dangling loose things in this crazy story.

Has ONE pundit/newsperson/commentator whatever they call themselves these days, seriously asked this question?

Or do they seriously stay away from it on purpose? Rachel last night pretty well told us to drop the tinfoil, it's just a sex story and we shouldn't turn ourselves into J. Edgar Hoover. What a cop-out.

This is a shorter clip of the part about the prisoners.


This one is better quality and might be her entire speech, not sure.

Don't you think this should get the news people a bit interested? But they are avoiding it.

I think Jill Kelley may have been running a call girl and boy service. I think there's more to that angle than what we've seen.

Broadwell's part is going to be the kicker though - the classified stuff, the CIA in Libya and its real purpose... I think all of that will start to come out.
