Harman: "I didn't need to cut some deal with AIPAC."

"I have a long friendship with AIPAC. I didn't need to cut some deal with AIPAC." So she would have accepted to put pressure on an espionage investigation not because of a political deal, but simply because of her "friendship with AIPAC."

Of course you have to savor the irony of someone who backed the Bush wiretap program now complaining about being wiretapped. It still has to be seen what the grounds for her wiretap was, since it was a legal one, not part of the Bush programs. Was she being investigated about... her friendship with AIPAC?

Word on the street is that AIPAC paid for all of her botox sessions.

That's funny. Like your blog, too.

Gee, Jane, thanks for standing up for all those innocent Americans discussing their appointment to the head of the intelligence committee with people indicted for espionage.

I hope the attorney general will take her up on her challenge to release all the tapes, unedited, and bring the house down. Do it! Skewer her and expose all the other worms under the rotting log. That's change I can believe in. And now would be a good time to squeeze AIPAC's nuts a bit, just as you wade into the Israeli-Palestinian horror-show with the likes of Netayahu, Lieberman and Mohammed al-Zahar.
