Overlooking the timeframe provides a perfect example of neo-con paranoia re Clinton. Everything's Bill's fault, from the Bush recession, to the piss-poor Bush handling of the terrorist chatter culminating in 9/11, and now even things that occurred before Clinton was Pres. The neo-cons understand the beauty of paranoia--it all makes sense. Clinton! Aaaaaagh!

I'm rather curious about Spook86's grasp of time. If McCarthy joined the CIA in 1984, and rose to Deputy NIO "within seven years," that means the vast majority of her "meteoric rise" occurred prior to 1991 - during the era of Reagan and Bush senior. Apparently, "how the Clinton Administration did business" was with a time machine...

Um, isn't Spook86 missing the obvious here? Namely, who was President during the bulk of McCarthy's years with the CIA in the time period he discusses? Joined in 1984, and made full NIO status in 1994. Reagan/Bush I were president from the time she joined until January 1993, which encompasses the 7 years that it took her to "rise to a Deputy NIO position." Clinton was President for, at most, two years of her tenure during this period.

First the conservative blogosphere trashes McCarthy's reputation because of allegations that she leaked information embarrassing to the Bush Administration.

Then, when Ms. McCarthy's lawyer disputes the claim and it becomes clear there is no basis for that claim, the conservative blogosphere changes gear and trashes McCarthy's as a political hack.

Typical.

Deputy NIOs are mostly GS-15 types. Not exactly unheard of for someone to make it to that grade in seven years, especially if she came in as a 13 or 14. I hate to say it, but it does help to be a woman, especially during the Clinton years. I don't really have feelings either way about that, if she was qualified (and I think she probably was), she deserved to have the job.

She does not deny â��inappropriate contactâ�� with Priest and other journalists.

So many punchlines...

McCarthyâ��s rapid advancement speaks volumes about how the Clinton Administration did business

Considering the political hacks that have advanced through the Bush administration, I would say this sheds more light on how politicians in general conduct business.
