Goss among former members appointed to ethics office - Why would Pelosi go along with this?
While he was chairman of the House intelligence committee, Goss opposed launching an investigation into the Valerie Plame CIA leak case.

Goss is close to Boehner and served with Pelosi on the intelligence and ethics panels.

"Mr. Goss previously served on the ethics committee with distinction, and he is widely respected on both sides of the aisle for his time and service as a member of this institution,” said Boehner spokesman Kevin Smith.

-----------------------------

Pelosi has just done another favor for the repukes.

3. Because she is a member of the Bohemian Grove Party?
Even though she cannot attend since she is female.

4. Some ethics. Goss's first choice for No.3 at CIA was convicted shoplifter.

5. It's another "Cover Up" position...
How can one cover up the dirty deeds if they don't know what they are?

6. Did you guys ever stop to consider...
That Goss may well be the most pissed-off white man east of the Mississippi, over the way he was treated and sacked by Dear Leader and Darth? This may be more interesting than we know.

9. Well, we can always hope and that is another angle to look at it. Would like to think
there was some strategic thinking among our leaders for a good reason for this.
