'This photograph doesn't exist.'The American Israel Public Affairs Committee — you know, the lobbying group that secretly writes all of our legislation — recently made headlines when allegations surfaced that Rep. Jane Harman (D-Warblog) had promised to ask the Bush White House to go easy on a couple of AIPAC guys accused of spying. Anyway, this notion that Harman is not just in bed with AIPAC but is literally having sex with it deep into the night and making loud erotic noises that disturb the neighbors was probably not helped by a new announcement.

Harman is scheduled to speak at AIPAC’s annual policy conference. Looky! From the agenda:

AIPAC In-Depth: An Insider’s Look at the Middle East

Today’s exclusive AIPAC In-Depth broadcast brings together four of the world’s most experienced national security specialists to examine the foreign policy challenges facing the United States, Israel and the world.

Panelists

* The Honorable Jane Harman (D-CA)
U.S. House of Representatives
* Maj. Gen. Ido Nechustan
Commander, Israeli Air Force
* Dr. Robert Satloff
Executive Director, The Washington Institute for Near East Policy
* Mr. R. James Woolsey
Former Director, Central Intelligence Agency

She will presumably discover some sort of schedule conflict between now and May 3.

Fair and Balanced, the way a panel should be set up!

MrsNateSilver April 22, 2009 at 11:47 am

Is this a typo: “this notion that Harman is in not just in bed with AIPAC”? Or do i not know how to read properly?

StephanieInCA April 22, 2009 at 11:47 am

Why is she wearing a tweed flight suit? This does not make any sense.

[re=296181]MrsNateSilver[/re]: Well yes there was an extra “in” there, but only for your enjoyment.

It’s an insider’s look because they’re all Arabs, see.

It was enjoyable. In, in, out is a good rhythm.

Did you hear her NPR interview last night? Man, she is guilty as shit. She sounded more pathetic than Blagojevich.

“Are you saying you didn’t have this conversation?” “I WAS WIRETAPPED WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE! AND I DON’T REMEMBER THE CONVERSATION AND THEY WON’T TELL ME WHAT I SAID.” “well, I can tell you what you allegedly said,” “I WAS WIRETAPPED, DON’T THEY HAVE TO TELL YOU BEFORE YOU’RE WIRETAPPED?” “actually, the *other* party was wiretapped, and no, telling everybody about it would sort of make it pointless…” “I KNOW MY RIGHTS, I KNOW ALL ABOUT WIRETAPPING, AND IT WAS ILLEGAL.”

Gentle hippie Robert Livingston Siegel pretty much just told her to eat it and hung up on her. The Tweed Battle of 2009 goes to Siegel.

hobospacejunkie April 22, 2009 at 12:06 pm

AIPAC’s gonna be awfully jealous when it discovers she’s gay-married to a chick named Sidney. She may say she’s got a scheduling conflict, but the truth will be she’s in Iowa getting gay-divorced.

thefrontpage April 22, 2009 at 12:07 pm

Jane Harman and her conversations do not exist anymore.

Jane–they don’t have cheap cosmetics and hair dye in jail. So get used to life without make-up and bleached blond hair.

By the way, the NSA was investigating suspects in an espionage case–and you were caught talking to them and making illegal deals, including saying, “this conversation does not exist.”

The wiretaps–in an espionage case–was completely, 100 percent legal. If you don’t understand that as someone who’s on a Congress intelligence committee, you should resign from office, effective immediately.

ManchuCandidate April 22, 2009 at 12:07 pm

“As always, should you or any of your AIPAC lobbyists be caught on tape, MOSSAD will disavow any knowledge of your actions. This Congress Woman will self-destruct in five seconds. Good luck, Jane. “

SayItWithWookies April 22, 2009 at 12:10 pm

[re=296203]illnoise[/re]: Hell, she was one of the first to jump on the warrantless wiretapping bandwagon. So if she thinks that jacket looks awful, she should see herself in a petard.

“the foreign policy challenges facing the United States, Israel and the world”

I knew that the Israeli/Palestine situation was tricky and the US has usually walked a fine line, but did not realize that Israel was actually more of a challenge than the entire rest of the world.

A Better American Than YOU April 22, 2009 at 12:13 pm

[re=296210]thefrontpage[/re]: Fuckin’ Pollyanna. The laws don’t apply to these people. Exceptions can be counted on one hand — Libby, Abramoff, and, uh, those other three people.

Sara Benincasa April 22, 2009 at 12:14 pm

Oh, adorbs! I’m so glad we waste so much money in Israel. Not saying all of it is wasted, but c’mon. NONE of that fat annual paycheck could be funneled into, oh, I don’t know, a kabillion important things here at home?

Also, I’d hit it.

DC Hates Me April 22, 2009 at 12:14 pm

Does she put blush on her cheeks or does someone use her face as a toilet brush?

Red Zeppelin April 22, 2009 at 12:19 pm

Man, these PUMAs! What is it about the pantsuits that brings out the cold prostitute in these women? It’s like Hillary knockin’ back boilermakers with unemployed bitters. Maybe AIPAC provided Harman with the services of Brooks’s hawt taxi driver.

Tommy Says Soooo, Jugdish! April 22, 2009 at 12:19 pm

I think AIPAC will pull out all the stops if you’re not careful….pretty soon Gaza will look just like Stockton.

I wouldn’t hit it unless Gina Gershon was somehow involved.

[re=296203]illnoise[/re]: I heard it too, pathetic.
So long, Jane. Isn’t karma a bitch?

isadelia April 22, 2009 at 12:21 pm

[re=296203]illnoise[/re]: I did hear that last night and thought the same thing, guilty as hell. She was super defensive.

Damn, I just outed myself as an NPR listener.

Neilist April 22, 2009 at 12:25 pm

Just remember: “Israel doesn’t torture.”

Just like the US doesn’t “torture.”

So the thought of Jane Harman having sex — with anyone or anything – cannot be “torture.”

Instead, it’s just . . . DISGUSTING.

“AND I DON’T REMEMBER THE CONVERSATION AND THEY WON’T TELL ME WHAT I SAID.”

As the eminent Dan Akroyd would say: Jane, you ignorant slut.

Tommy Says Soooo, Jugdish! April 22, 2009 at 12:29 pm

Whew, I am just glad we will be spared talk of Israel’s influence over the government since it’s not like Harman is a prominent rep or AIPAC is nothing but a concerned citizens’ advocacy group.

Johnny Zhivago April 22, 2009 at 12:31 pm

Maj. Gen. Ido Nechustan sounds more like a commander of Star Fleet.

I bumped into her on the Venice Beach promenade a few weeks ago. She has the Protocols of the Elders of Zion tattooed on her back, y’know.

Pretty good skater, though.

Zadig April 22, 2009 at 1:07 pm

Seriously, though. Who the fuck says “This conversation doesn’t exist/never happened” or some variant thereof? I mean, does this bitch not realize that it’s the shadiest possible thing you could say on the phone? If you weren’t a suspect before, you are now. NSA will call you as soon as they figure out a crime to put you with.

In this day and age, where no words really go away ever, there’s a simple way to prevent people from hearing your awfully suspicious/offensive conversations. It’s to NOT FUCKING HAVE THEM in the first place.

[re=296250]groove[/re]: As I recall, I think she said something like, “I don’t know which conversation they are talking about,” and then two minutes later she said the person she was speaking to was definately not a foreign agent.

Veronica Corningstone April 22, 2009 at 1:18 pm

The “person she was speaking to” was Saim Haban (the Pink Power Ranger). He’s the Hiltard who tried to bribe the Young Democrats into voting for Hilz.
On a side note, he’s also the biggest donor to assclown Terry McAuliffe.
Why does everything around the Clintons smell like dog poo?

Lazy Media April 22, 2009 at 1:24 pm

I still think she’s gonna walk. It’s almost impossible to prosecute under our system of legalized bribery, er, political free speech. You need a recorded vote or at least phone conversations showing the pol doing the briber’s bidding, and a bag of cash in the freezer. Unless they can turn up some action of hers to show a quid pro quo, she was just talking shit to suck money/influence out of a contributor. Y’know, American democracy.

And the “this conversation doesn’t exist” is really sleazy, but there’s no law against trying to keep your technically legal shenanigans out of the public eye. SHE thinks she’s guilty of something, obv, but we’ve already seen how good her judgment is.

So, to sum up: Crook, but gonna get away with it at least until the next election.

Dave J. April 22, 2009 at 1:43 pm

[re=296203]illnoise[/re]: Yeah, the part where he cold hung up on her was the best part. “I’m out of time, sorry, kthxbye.” It really was the worst interview ever. “Those conversations may or may not have happened, and I don’t know who it was with, but in any event let me tell you something about this one guy, even though I don’t know if the conversation actually happened, but here’s what I said. Also.” Truly, truly horrible. Whoever told her to go on NPR should be fired.

hobospacejunkie April 22, 2009 at 2:12 pm

[re=296203]illnoise[/re]: About that NPR interview — I thought you were kidding, being funny, you know, making up quotes from an imaginary interview to amuse us. And I was amused! But it actually happened! ZOMG! This woman apparently traded Zionist money for her brain cells. Bad choice.

Wow, thanks Rep. Harman. In a time when Democrats control the government and progressives are actually getting shit done, you sure are doing your best to make sure that ends at the mid-terms, aren’t ya?! This is the sort of thing that makes Rush Limbaugh more happy than a tumbler full of Oxycodone and a bathtub full of Crisco.

Wonder how many would show up?

George Washington on Israel

“A passionate attachment of one nation for another produces a variety of evils. Sympathy for the favorite nation, facilitating the illusion of an imaginary common interest in cases where no real common interest exists, and infusing into one the enmities of the other, betrays the former into a participation in the quarrels and wars of the latter without adequate inducement or justification.” ~George Washington, ~page 269 of The 5000 Year Leap.

“The nation which indulges toward another habitual hatred or habitual fondness is in some degree a slave. It is a slave to its animosity or to its affection, either of which is sufficient to lead it astray from its duty and its interests.” ~ George Washington

“Peace, commerce and honest friendship with all nations; entangling alliances with none.” ~ Thomas Jefferson
