Jane Harman: Karma is a bitch.

Rep. Harman:

Don't think we don't remember you cheerleading for wiretapping programs over the last 8 years....


looks like ol' Blue Dog Jane did herself in!

1. Never a more clear case of: one law for you, one for me

Man, why don't they ever learn the easy way?

[fascisthunter]

2. because for them the "pay-off" is too Good

[Duer 157099]

3. Except in this case, I'm not sure really what she thought the payoff was

I believe that it's been demonstrated that she was a staunch supporter of wiretapping (even the illegal, non-FISA kind) well before the whole AIPAC thing was going down.

Although, one does have to wonder if there were just other events that occurred years ago that set her into that position... who knows how many other quid pro quos she has lurking in her dark closets

She's just plain contradictory on this position. If she really firmly believed it to be a justifiable position of the government, then her outrage over her own experience with it is baffling.

Unless she's just a hypocrite, which is certainly possible.

4. Probably something under the table from AIPAC.

[Duer 157099]

5. AIPAC should have no position (least of all pro) on wiretapping

No, it'd have to be something else - perhaps another case where the DOJ had the goods on her (history does repeat itself after all).

6. I think it is pretty funny that she is so mad about it

:rofl:

[pacalo]

7. Gasp! "They were wiretapping ordinary citizens!"

:rofl:

[DCKit]

8. More like "How dare they spy on an honorable member of Congress!"

Hear that Jane? It's the Karma Train.
