So CBS says that the DNI redacted references to AQ and terrorism in Rice's talking points...

and I went over to Free Republic to see if they were going to eat a little crow. (I know, a fruitless task, but sometimes reality can penetrate their skulls if it's obvious enough.)

The first comment I see is "What the heck is the DNI? Never heard of it? Is that another new agency Obama created?"

Uh... no, you dumbass freeper. It's the "Director of National Intelligence," a position created in 2004 as one of the recommendations of the 9/11 commission. It was created by Congress during the Bush administration.

But I understand these things can take 8 years or so for you to notice. Go back to sleep and have nightmares of the scary black President, soshullism, libruls and whatnot.

It must have fallen behind the couch.

I notice that the story being pushed now is that James Clapper, who heads the DNI, is (gasp!) an OBAMA APPOINTEE.

Never mind that he was unanimously confirmed by the Senate. Clearly Obama, being a 30th level chess player (while simultaneously unable to tie his shoes or drink out of anything other than a sippy cup) nominated Clapper with the full future knowledge that someday he would be able to cover up the intentional murder of our personnel in a consulate. This would let Obama achieve his ultimate dream of watching our citizens die in real-time via a Predator drone while he cackled and ate popcorn.

It is hard keeping track of the Freeper narrative but I think I have a grip on it today. Check back tomorrow.
