Say, which administration official is a drunk, I wonder?

[MrBenchley]

Couldn't be the one who fell off a Segway, a bicycle and a pretzel, could it? The one who constantly babbles crap like "My views are one that speaks to freedom" and "Free nations don't develop weapons of mass destruction" out loud in public?

"American officials said that about six weeks ago, Mr. Chalabi told the Baghdad station chief of Iran's Ministry of Intelligence and Security that the United States was reading the communications traffic of the Iranian spy service, one of the most sophisticated in the Middle East.
According to American officials, the Iranian official in Baghdad, possibly not believing Mr. Chalabi's account, sent a cable to Tehran detailing his conversation with Mr. Chalabi, using the broken code. That encrypted cable, intercepted and read by the United States, tipped off American officials to the fact that Mr. Chalabi had betrayed the code-breaking operation, the American officials said.
American officials reported that in the cable to Tehran, the Iranian official recounted how Mr. Chalabi had said that one of "them" — a reference to an American — had revealed the code-breaking operation, the officials said. The Iranian reported that Mr. Chalabi said the American was drunk. "

"Woodward's information is based on tape-recorded interviews of over a hundred sources (some unnamed), including four hours of exclusive interviews with the president, along with notes from cabinet meetings and access to some classified reports."

1. Or Rumsfeld

There is a reason we call him "Rummy".

[Cleita]

2. Excuse me, but why don't you just build a bar to fit all of them in.

If this gang of inept criminals that can't shoot straight aren't on mind numbing substances, then I hate to think what their median I. Q. is.

[truthspeaker]

3. here's what we do:

arrest all of them, throw black bags over their heads, imprison them incommunicado for a few years, and worry about which one is guilty later, if at all.

It's OK, you can trust us.

4. Or Cheney

you don't earn 3 DUI's by drinking sodie water (er, by itself).

5. Martha Mitchell's ghost running amok in the WH?

Yeah, that's it. Seems when there is no one else to blame, they dig up some past miscreant's misdeeds to divert attention. Why else were we treated to discussion of John Kennedy and now Nixon?

Yep, Martha Mitchell did it. She made a lot of those drunken phone calls which mostly proved to be expressions of what was really going on in the Nixon WH. Yep, Martha's ghost...

[Cleita]

6. Yeah, but Martha told the truth. If her ghost were running amok

she'd be injecting these people with truth ether.
