Hey, you can't get them to shut up!

As Nixon said to Kissinger, recorded on the White House tapes:

... our hand doesn't show on this one though...

Other quotes concern making sure our fingerprints aren't on this, etc., etc.

I'll never know why they call them covert ops, when we all know everything the government is doing at every moment, anyway. Jeez, it's all on another C-Span channel, and we all watch black operations, "wet work," etc., etc. in the evening after dinner. What a world! Oh, wait. No, we don't. We just pay for it with our tax dollars while they blow up men, women, children, babies, grandparents, whole towns, incinerate villages, torture and murder helpless citizens, etc.

You can be sure if a President says, "that man is not a spy", he's telling the truth, just like George Washington did, because of his natural purity.

You can clearly believe anything a right-winger says at a Democratic message board, as well, bless their hearts. Democrats are so lucky when they infest their conversations.
