The part of the airport Snowden is in is like a mini-prison (locked elevators, strict rules, etc) and he can't get out (can not even go outside for a cigarette without a passport) and she can't get in so they wouldn't even be able to meet each other let alone get married.

So then I'm right about being wrong.

One can only guess on what concession stand the honeymoon takes place at.

I kind of feel for the guy, but i am also quite sure he has not thought this whole 'hiding out in the daylight' thing out yet

1. Man, it's exciting, isn't it? Where will NSA leaker Edward Snowden end up? Will he live in limbo in a TGI Friday's in the Moscow airport? Will he get asylum? Where will he take a shit? Does he have access to shampoo? Holy fuck, tell us more about his plea bargain deal offers and his attempts to find a country to take him. Tell us more because the more we hear about Edward Snowden, fugitive from the butthurt U.S. government, the less we have to grapple with what Snowden's leaked documents actually reveal about the U.S. surveillance state.

5. The Snowden chronicles (and, to a lesser extent, the irrelevant Glenn-Greenwald-is-such-an-asshole attacks) are an enormous distraction from the real stories, the massive extent of spying on Americans without suspicion or warrant (which, the Rude Pundit has said repeatedly, is something that at least deserves a good debate) and Director of National Intelligence James Clapper lying to Congress. And if these things don't matter to you, especially those of you on the left side of the political wall, if you think "security" has been compromised or some such shit that hasn't been demonstrated at all, well, congratulations. You're finally on the side of George W. Bush, John Yoo, Dick Cheney, and other assorted war criminals.

If I were in their shoes. So far, they have been very effective at diverting our attention elsewhere.

you get a mob together and find someone to hang. It's always someone vulnerable. It doesnt matter if they are guilty or not, the mob feels satisfied that the world's ills will be better for it. America lynched Saddam Hussein because someone had to pay for 9/11. Wasnt so important who.
