Sold the nation down the river twice did this broad.

This just can't happen.
I can't get the NY times without subscribing.

What's it all about? Pelosi, I'll bet.

Works for me w/o/ subscription.

It's about possible attorney general pick, Ms. Gorelick.

Here's a partial:

Carries as baggage: Her work at Fannie Mae, which had to be bailed out by
the government in September as part of a $200 billion deal. Ms. Gorelick
left the company just as it was coming under attack for huge accounting
failures. She has also drawn criticism for her role at the Justice
Department, in which she allegedly created an intelligence "wall" that
hindered counterterrorism agents in the years before the Sept. 11 attacks.
Conservatives called for her removal from the Sept. 11 commission, but her
fellow members rallied around her and said critics were distorting her
record. The criticism grew so heated that the F.B.I. investigated a death
threat against her family, and President Bush had to intervene personally to
stop the Justice Department from releasing sealed reports involving her.
Some conservative bloggers have already begun trying to derail Ms. Gorelick's
possible nomination as attorney general, pointing to her experiences at both
Fannie Mae and the Sept. 11 commission.
