CIA ROGUE WEASEL THREATENS MURDER
You first learned in The CIA in Deep Qaaqaa last October about a group of left-wing “Rogue Weasels” that incoming CIA Director Porter Goss was purging from Langley.
It’s important to understand that the CIA has been a left-wing outfit since the 1970s. The Watergate Scandal was pretty much a coup to oust Richard Nixon from the White House conducted in a cooperative effort by the CIA left-wingers, the Democrat Party, and the Media. This same cabal thinks it can conduct a similar coup against George Bush and Karl Rove over the ridiculous Plamegate nonsense.
Problem is, Bush is smarter than Nixon, the bloggers are smarter than Old Media, and Porter Goss is smarter than the Weasels. In fact, many of the Weasels are unbelievably stupid.
Exhibit A for this is how they have allowed a former CIA analyst named Larry Johnson to take the lead in publicly condemning the President for the “scandal” of the “leak” in the press of Valerie Plame’s name as working for the CIA.
On July 22, Johnson went before a kangaroo panel of Capitol Hill Democrats and stated that Bush’s failure to fire Karl Rove, who obviously was the treasonous leaker according to him, was jeopardizing national security. Then he said the same thing the next day when he gave the Democrat Party’s weekly national radio address.
If Larry Johnson is the best the CIA-Democrat-Media cabal can come up with, dreams of another Watergate are hippie hallucinations. For the fun question is: How stupid is Larry Johnson?
You can imagine the Johnny Carson-Ed McMahon skit:
Johnny: “So how stupid is this guy, Ed?”
Ed: “Johnny, let me tell you. Larry Johnson is so stupid that just two months before the September 11 terrorist attack on America, on July 10, 2001, he wrote an op-ed for the New York Times entitled ‘The Declining Terrorist Threat’.”
Johnny’s mouth drops open in shock while the audience bursts out in laughter. Ed continues: “I kid you not. He actually wrote that Americans were ‘bedeviled by fantasies about terrorism,’ and had ‘little to fear’ from terrorists. But then that’s par for an intelligence agency that never saw September 11 coming, and whose primary objective afterwards was to make sure no one got fired over it.”
Johnny deadpans: “It’s hard to believe that anyone in the CIA could be that stupid.” Johnny rolls his eyes and mugs for the audience, which again explodes in laughter.
Ed: “But wait, there’s more! You’re not going to believe this. There’s a conservative Internet discussion forum called Free Republic. I read it all the time, great stuff. Anyhow, someone on this forum was so upset with the testimony of Larry Johnson and 10 of his ex-CIA colleagues that he wrote:
‘The best way to deal with their seditionist tendencies is to get 11 nooses and 11 nice tall trees. Not that I would advocate any sort of violence. As Richard Nixon once said, “That would be wrong.’
“Pretty juvenile, huh? But here’s the part you won’t believe. Larry Johnson sent him a personal email threatening to kill him! Here, I’ll read it for you:
‘Hey you coward. You want to try to put a noose around our necks? We tell the truth and you threaten violence? Send your address and we will be happy to visit. You should be aware that one of our group helped track down and kill Pablo Escobar and other middle eastern terrorists. How dare you challenge our patriotism? We will be happy to meet you anytime, anywhere. Name the place.’
Neither McMahon nor Carson nor the audience would have anything to say or laugh at after that.
You can read the entire exchange on Free Republic. Being the bright Freepers they are, it was quickly verified that [email protected] is indeed Johnson’s email address, as listed in the Administrative Contact for the website registration of his company, Berg Associates.
So – the ex-CIA poster boy of the Democrats’ campaign to target Karl Rove threatens in writing to have the person who killed Pablo Escobar pay a “visit” to the home of a critic, and it’s not news? Funny what Old Media finds newsworthy.
Johnson’s threat has been sent to the Maryland Montgomery County Police, Rockville Station, as that is the jurisdiction from where he sent the email. What are the odds that Johnson will be prosecuted?
By the way, Ed McMahon would have a punch line. He’d finish by giving Johnny a final example of Johnson’s stupidity: Pablo Escobar was not a “middle eastern terrorist.” He was a Colombian drug lord.
