Charlie's Angels, huh. Speaking of, did you see the 'celebs who lean to the right' slide show link on that page? Charlie's Angel Cheryl Ladd, for one. Interesting list. Some I knew were Repubs, but you don't see many celebs out trumpeting right-leaning political views. Career concerns, I guess. Anyway, Charlie has a knack for sounding both arrogant and ignorant at the same time, doesn't he? "I recognize that all of you have an obligation to ask questions knowing that there's none of you smart enough to frame it in such a way that I'm going to respond."

Don't worry. Libs running the Ethics Committee either won't investigate it or if they do, they'll won't find any wrong doing.

Re: Sorry, Charlie By: Kathryn Jean Lopez The Corner And Charlie Hurt adds this to the story: <<< WASHINGTON -- Charlie Rangel's "forgetfulness" is apparently contagious. Two of his top aides are among about a dozen highly paid staffers on the powerful tax-writing Ways and Means Committee who have filed a flurry of amendments correcting their financial-disclosure statements since 2002. Jim Capel, chief of staff for Rangel's personal office, failed to file any such statements for six years. On the afternoon of July 14, Capel filed five years' worth of delinquent reports. Capel told The Post yesterday it was a simple oversight. "I am sorry for not making these filings in the timely manner as required," he said. "My failure was not done for no other reason than I just forgot to do so." Another serial mis-filer working for Rangel is George Dalley, who is legal counsel in Rangel's personal office. Dalley has amended his statements four times since 2002. >>> corner.nationalreview.com

CIA Asks Justice to Probe Leaks of Secrets The Washington Times FOXNews.com Friday, September 04, 2009 Besieged by leaks of several closely held secrets, the CIA has asked the Justice Department to examine what it regards as the criminal disclosure of a secret program to kill foreign terrorist leaders abroad, The Washington Times has learned. Two U.S. intelligence officials, who spoke on the condition that they not be named because of the sensitivity of the case, said the leak investigation involved a program that CIA Director Leon E. Panetta told Congress about in June and that surfaced in news reports just a month later. The vice chairman of the the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence declined to discuss any possible leak investigations but told the Times on Thursday that a growing number of disclosures of highly secret programs, tactics and other information had caused "irreparable damage" to the U.S. intelligence community. "They foil our attempts to carry out classified missions," Sen. Christopher S. Bond said in an interview. "They tell our intelligence community: We don't have your back; we're stabbing you in the back. Our allies ask us, 'How can we trust you to deal in classified matters in private, when the details are leaked to the press?'" Bond, a Republican from Missouri, said he heard this refrain in recent meetings with heads of European, South Asian and Middle Eastern allied intelligence services. "Nobody has told me they won't cooperate, but they are asking the question," he said. Continue reading at The Washington Times foxnews.com
