Are you sure he wasn’t just asking for their definition of expedited?

agreed jon, this is a non-story

Fact: RHINO!

Wow, Colby, you really leave me scratching my head over this post. In judicial terms “expedited” could mean years.

Get a life.

So it is a bit odd that during tioday’s ….Senator Brown asked a testified to explain “what does expedited mean…or even worse, not the sharpest too in the shed.

What’s that about glass houses?

Are you serious, Colby? He is asking for a clarification of their time frame, what their definition of *expedited* is wrt time frame.

I don’t think Brown is the brightest bulb in the box, but he’s reasonably likable and not a complete moron. I suspect he knows what “expedite” means.

Or was he playing to a potentially confused audience of 50 or so CSPAN viewers (a demographic that almost certainly understand what “expedited” means)?

Colby being one of the fifty

I agree, Brown was trying to pin them down on a more specific time frame, that is why Johnson responded with “by March”, so unlike Colby, he understood what Brown was asking.

The exchange is only a “head scratcher” if you are clueless.

Seriously dude,, I don’t mean to be derogatory,,
‘coz your entries often amuse me,,
But,, you care to clarify this one?

Colby….you are a dummy!
Are you smoking medical marijuana so early in the day?
Did you get a doctors note that says you need bong breaks during the work day??

Colby Said: “Senator Brown asked a testified to explain “what does expedited mean?”

Make no mistake: Colby is a smart man. He is a practicing columnist/journolist at mediaite who’s had a very successful career and was most deservedly selected to be the senior editor here. So it is a bit odd that writing
“asked a testified to explain” during today’s column on mediaite, on the topic of the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy, Colby seemed completely confused and thusly confused the mediaite audience (large or small) when he said “asked a testified to explain”.

As for Senator Brown, he is a 30-year member of the Massachusetts Army National Guard and currently holds the rank of Lieutenant Colonel in the Judge Advocate General (JAG) Corps (that is pronounced Corps, not Corpse as the One might confusingly say), and certainly understands that in military jargon “expedite” can mean any number of things.

As for Colby, oh well…

The White Castle lunch I had this afternoon was expedited from my body.

LMAO
I WAS TEMPTED TO POINT OUT THE SAME THING
i mean ,, it just wasnt one word tho,, it was the whole GD article
lol

As others have said, it appears that he’s trying to get a timetable into the record.

Colby, are you feeling okay? I know news bites are slow now, but the only one here with questionable intelligence is you, the writer. I like your work normally, but REALLY????. Expedited is a generic term for quickly, and based on context means right now, in an hour, or apparently in government-time, in March. For the military, that does seem expedited to me.

On a good note, it’s nice to see a senator doing his job during a hearing. Shouldn’t that be the point here. Didn’t seem like the politician looking to hear himself talk, but someone trying to get some answers. Hope that’s how he does his job.

If this really is a ‘head-scratcher’ for you, I’d got see a doctor. Seriously, drink some coffee and get a good night’s sleep….

You have to understand that Colby has that liberal gene. He is very confused. If a NORMAL person speaks, like Sarah Palin, they can’t understand a word she says.

Liberal is a name created by humans. It has no real meaning to the human body. What you’re reffering to is a gene that is related to many behaviors that you refer to as “liberal”. If you had actually read the article you would see that not everyone with a liberal gene is actually a liberal.

Gordon I think you should go back and hit the books, then again, if you don’t have the liberal gene, maybe you really don’t care what the research says… you only care what your gut tells you. Maybe the liberal gene is partly evolution, evolution from people that refuse to listen to facts/figures and only react based on what their gut tells them.

We have to become a smarter society as our technology gets better and people like you just drag us down. So embarrassing.. especially in the world arena, to have hillbilly retards, like Gordon, actually having a voice in politics. Very scary, lol.

He’s clearly asking “when your agency states that X action will be ‘expedited,’ specifically how much more quickly will X action be completed?”

Because doing something in an “expedited” manner doesn’t mean it’ll happen soon. It’s vague.

He’s not asking what the word means.

Gordon Bloyer, there’s no liberal gene. You know this. Everyone knows this. When you post these kinds of things, what you are really saying is “Look at me! I’m being obnoxious again.”

Did Sarah Palin bang Marcus Lamb? http://abcn.ws/gEjojk

I understand that you can’t read. Just for you, here is the story AGAIN. I didn’t make up the term “liberal gene”, the researchers did.
You have it and it is clear.

Scientists Find ‘Liberal Gene’
Study conducted by researchers at UCSD, Harvard
By ERIC S. PAGE
Updated 5:16 PM PDT, Wed, Oct 27, 2010
Researchers have determined that genetics could matter when it comes to some adults’ political leanings.
According to scientists at UC San Diego and Harvard University, “ideology is affected not just by social factors, but also by a dopamine receptor gene called DRD4.” That and how many friends you had during high school.
The study was led by UCSD’s James Fowler and focused on 2,000 subjects from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health. Scientists matched the subjects’ genetic information with “maps” of their social networks. According to researchers, they determined that people “with a specific variant of the DRD4 gene were more likely to be liberal as adults.” However, the, subjects were only more likely to have leanings to the left if they were also socially active during adolescence.
“It is the crucial interaction of two factors — the genetic predisposition and the environmental condition of having many friends in adolescence — that is associated with being more liberal,” according to the study.
“These findings suggest that political affiliation is not based solely on the kind of social environment people experience,” said Fowler, who is a professor of political science and medical genetics.
The researchers also said their findings held true no matter what the ethnicity, culture, sex or age of the subjects were.

Where did I say that everyone that has the gene is actually a liberal? You are a typical lib. You try to make excuses for your defect. YOU think you are smarter than everyone else. LOL. That is why the democrats lost and will NOW continue to lose. They have exposed their arrogance. Pelosi is the best example, wasting time passing a bill that she knows will not pass. That is the LIBERAL GENE on display.
