Director of National Intelligence Mike McConnell, a known weasel who bravely condoned (and lied about) whatever torture the Bush Administration wanted, has abruptly quit and is reportedly trying to make an international flight out of Dulles before too many passengers at the gate notice the sweaty twerp with the duffelbag full of loose bills looks just like that douche Wolf Blitzer is talking about on all the teevees everywhere!
McConnell was to be fired as soon as Obama’s choice for intel director is confirmed by the Senate — Dennis Blair is expected to be confirmed with a big majority, no controversy, etc. So why did McConnell suddenly resign today (“effective immediately”), leaving nothing behind but a bullshit memo praising himself for spying on innocent Americans and pissing on the Constitution?
Don’t let the door torture you to death on the way out!

Quick — look in his filing cabinet under S for “Shit we lied about.”
I guess he really wants that job at Abercrombie and Fitch.
If we split up, we can still catch him. There has to be Wonketters near every major airport. Print out his photo and go! Go! Net the son-of-a-bitch! Gitmo will still be open for another year – let this weasel enjoy its amenities.
It’d be funny if his name was on the no-fly list and he got nabbed by Homeland Security.
Must have gotten nervous with the new lobbying rules. Going to work as a lobbyist.
if i were a friend of mr. mcconnell, i’d advise him to sit tight at home. we have extradition treaties with those countries he might like to visit.
and the ones we don’t, well, i bet THEY would very much like HIM to visit.
Is this goober related to minority leader Mitch McConnell? If so, seems like being a douche bag runs in the family.
Hey. Let up. McConnell had to leave early to defrost the human testicles he had in the freezer.
[re=229896]BadKitty[/re]: don’t forget to check the bathroom stalls.
Just one of many Bush Administration figures who should think REAL hard before traveling abroad ever again. The International Criminal Court don’t play; just ask Slobo.
This is totally outrageous and couldn’t be worse news about a wonderful, wonderful man.
(Just a reminder: Do not say anything too rude, about McConnell, he still has guys on the inside. Layne: I suggest you modify your post if you want to ever travel again without the anal probe…)
Uruguay gains another citizen.
[re=229937]Bruno[/re]: Why would anyone bother to travel if not for the anal probe?
So why did McConnell suddenly resign today (”effective immediately”), leaving nothing behind but a bullshit memo praising himself for spying on innocent Americans and pissing on the Constitution?
He’s up to Chapter 9 in the Neocon handbook for screwing America, “Getting the Hell Out of Dodge”.
How many times can a revolving door hit you in your ass on the way out?
It’s like when all the Nazis scurried away to Bolivia….
Heading back to the giant fishhead hideout of the Legion of Doom.
How long has someone been waiting to say “Sunni we will be Shiite out of luck”?
Seriously, its had to have been like 6 years someone has been sitting on that gem, just waiting to unleash it onto a grateful public
He’s just part of the Paraguay advance team.
First Bill Kristol flees to Canada and Dick Morris to Mexico before the inauguration and now this. Is no one safe during Obama’s cruel reign?
[re=229948]The Cold Sea[/re]: Uruguay doesn’t want ‘em.
So much for the Axis of Weasel.
[re=230011]Mo MoDo[/re]: Yeah, he’s got a date with Cheney at a lovely Paraguayan resort for Republicans on the run.
[re=229983]Min[/re]: Also fulfilling chap 10. “Get your drink on”.
The AP also reports that McConnell will rejoin Booz Allen Hamilton as senior vice president, where he worked before taking the intelligence job in 2006.
Nice guys at BAH, but they don’t call it Booz[e] for just a last name.
SVP is pretty low on the totem pole too…
It seems the getting’s good.
Hey, guys, not to worry. In case you hadn’t heard, Washington got like 3 (ok, 2 and a half) inches of snow today. McConnell won’t even make it five miles, let alone out of the country.
[re=229896]BadKitty[/re]: Quick Robin! To the batpoles!
How Merka gonna get its damn groove on when its losin’ its sleeze? Fuckin’ sleeze be Jonesin’ out its ports. Drippin!
i like how the article goes on and on literally forever, like a mobius strip, and then at the end the first comment is, “There’s just one more thing I’d like to add.”
The idea of anyone being referred to as Bushie and intel in the same breath leads one to belive that Einstein’s Specific Theory of Relativity can be appled to non consistant moving mass, or it just freeaks me out, one of the two. I relish the though of Rovian sightings on Monday next. What will that little man do now that the schoolyard bully no longr protects him?
