This contemptible idea was floated during the Countdown comedy hour when The Sportscaster reported 'Breaking News' that White House sources believe the intelligence community's failure to stop the plot "might have been intentional and not accidental." And "that the information was in some way deliberately withheld from some higher or broader authority to make someone look bad," leaving little doubt that the victim of this new, vast right-wing conspiracy was Obama. Earlier, fellow Obama sock-puppet Richard Wolffe had reported that White House officials said the intelligence debacle was the result of "a failure by individuals who maybe had an alternative agenda." Wolffe 'covered' the 2008 campaign for Newsweek, while simultaneously penning a paean to Obama. He was granted frequent access to Obama as a candidate and reportedly is now working on a second book with, presumably, similar access. Wolffe and MSNBC have already been accused of deceiving the public about Wolffe's various conflicts of interest. Three guesses as to Wolffe's source on what Obama is thinking about the Christmas Day bomb attempt? Wolffe, who was born in Birmingham, England, declared that the question being asked in the White House about the intelligence failings was, "Cockup or conspiracy?" MSNBC continued to promote Wolffe's charges as 'Breaking News' on the following program. "What's new and particularly worrying," uber-lib Rachel Maddow intoned solemnly, "is the prospect that intelligence was deliberately withheld by one part of the American intelligence community from another, either by a grudge to make somebody look bad, or for any other reason that put petty politics above national security."
