It's Hard Work Being John Negroponte

[JABBS]

"On many a workday lunchtime, the nominal boss of U.S. intelligence, John D. Negroponte, can be found at a private club in downtown Washington, getting a massage, taking a swim, and having lunch, followed by a good cigar and a perusal of the daily papers in the club’s library.

'He spends three hours there {every} Monday through Friday,' gripes a senior counterterrorism official.

Others say they’ve seen the Director of National Intelligence at the University Club, a 100-year-old mansion-like redoubt of dark oak panels and high ceilings a few blocks from the White House, only several times a week."

-- Congressional Quarterly's CQ.com, March 3

4. Well, Look at How Hard it was to Craft his NAFTA project!

That really took a lot out of him, and look at how hard it was to command Death Squads - that's a lot of hard work -

and by the way it's really a lot of hard work organizing Coups against Chavez and plotting away with his team of Economic Hit Men to undermine the newly elected governments in Bolivia Chili, Equador and the up coming election in Mexico.

This evil bastard doing a lot of "hard work"..
