Blabbermouth Leahy Set to Become Judiciary Chair

The incoming chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee is well-known in Washington for his tendency to leak classified information to the press. Senator Patrick 'Leaky' Leahy was forced to resign from the Senate Intelligence Committee during the 80s because of such leaks.

In the article below from CNS News you will find the complete scoop on The Blabbermouth and his incessant whine about the Bush administration.

To their credit, if I were in the Bush Administration I wouldn't want classified info in the hands of Leaky Leahy either. It just may wind up on the front page of the New York Times.

'(CNSNews.com) - Sen. Patrick Leahy, the incoming chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, is grumbling about the Justice Department's refusal to release documents on the Bush administration's interrogation and detention policy for terrorism suspects, the Washington Times reported. The Vermont Democrat (nicknamed "Leaky Leahy" for spilling national secrets in the past) has promised that as Judiciary chairman he will target the "unprecedented" efforts by the Bush administration to "hide its own activities from the public." Leahy specifically wants to look at documents concerning CIA interrogation methods. "I have advised the attorney general that I plan to pursue this matter further at the committee's first oversight hearing of the Department of Justice," the Washington Times quoted him as saying. "The department's decision to brush off my request for information about the administration's troubling interrogation policies is not the constructive step toward bipartisanship that I had hoped for, given President Bush's promise to work with us," he said. In the 1980s, Leahy was forced to resign from the Senate Intelligence Committee after he was caught leaking secret information about the Iran-Contra scandal to a reporter. And that's just one of several "loose lips" incidents involving the Vermont Democrat.'

Remember, my fellow Americans, the fact that 'loose lips' will now be a powerful Chairman of an important Senate committee is directly attributable to the misguided choices voters made in November.
