58. Yeah, what's up with WAPO helping Snowden out?

>> from post 51 by MADem above

He demanded the WAPO publish specific material right when Obama was meeting with the new Chinese leader. He also ran to Hong Kong just-in-time to shit on those headlines AND deflect from the complaints that Obama had about intellectual property theft by the Chinese and the activities of PLA UNIT 31698.

He gave an interview with the SCMP--owned by a Beijing friendly Malay businessman; minority shareholder Rupert Murdoch--to a reporter who almost surely has connections with Beijing. Who knows how much of that conversation was off the record? We still don't know who put him up when he left the Hong Kong hotel, where he stayed, etc.

He has not demonstrated that he is a whistleblower--he comes off like someone who wants to blow the whole mess up, or who got paid to come off like someone who wanted to blow the whole mess up. He's made a lot of assertions, but he hasn't proven squat.

He's a Paulbot, he doesn't like social security or unemployment insurance, loves the legal prostitutes of Switzerland, and thinks he is a smart stock shorter...a real capitalist pig, if you ask me. He's in love with himself, and thinks he's much smarter than you, me, or anyone. As he washes his stinky skivvies out in a Moscow sink, I wonder how smart he's feeling these days?
