In 2010, all the spies are on Facebook

POSTED: Tuesday, June 29, 2010, 4:39 PM

I was curious to see if any of the alleged Russian spies rounded up this week were on Facebook -- where else would you go to pry out American society's secrets? -- and of course they are, at least the glammed-out hip-Manhattanite wannabe called "Anna Chapman," if that indeed is her real name.

Here's Chapman's Facebook profile page as much as can be accessed by the public (unfortunately, we weren't friends -- I have to say I would have thought in a weird way it was kind of cool if we were); she also has 180 friends, some of who indeed have Russian-sounding names or even names in the Cyrillic alphabet, something of a giveaway, no? (The top posting on her wall is also in Cyrillic and in Russian, apparently the news of her arrest!) Like any good spy, she also lists Alma de Agave Tequilla as one of her "likes and interests."

Her quote: "If you can imagine it, you can achieve it; if you can dream it, you can become it."

I was thinking about sending her a friend request but I'm a little too busy this week to squeeze in an interview with the FBI.

    Will - is it still a "Myth" that the Russians are not to be trusted as Reagan proclaimed during his presidency.

    ................Where is Will Bunch's post on this (pretend it is FOX News)............By Garance Franke-Ruta Markos Moulitsas Zuniga, the founder of the Daily Kos blog, disavowed the results of all polls conducted for his site by the firm Research 2000, alleging that they were unreliable and possibly fraudulent. His accusation, posted on Daily Kos Tuesday: "We were defrauded by Research 2000, and while we don't know if some or all of the data was fabricated or manipulated beyond recognition, we know we can't trust it," Moulitsas wrote. He made the accusation based on a statistical analysis of the Research 2000 results that raised questions about their validity. Its conclusion: "We do not know exactly how the weekly R2K results were created, but we are confident they could not accurately describe random polls."

    Ahhhhh, Bunch, you best leave the Russians alone. She might have a brother or relative in the New York Russian Mafia and those guys are evil. They make the Gotti family look like Boy Scouts. You couldn't run fast enough from those guys tubmeister.

    Actually, the feds will get all the info out of this chick if they have both Bill Clinton and Al Gore interrogate this hottie. Faced with the two of them in open bathrobes, all info will be devulged.

    I love the main stream media attention to captured/suspected spies that work for anybody but Mossad. They always seem to fade away.

    @Blackhawk90, please change your name. You and I both know you didn't even realize Chicago had a hockey team until this April. Frontrunners are worse than liberals... mostly. Ok they're not, but they are pretty bad nonetheless.

    phillyjeffsr, go away. I've been on philly.com for over 3 years. This is not a sports blog. I'm a retired Army Helicopter Pilot. Guess what I flew? Loser, go back to the sports blogs. I could care less about the Flyers or hockey in general.

    Probably because we have less to worry about the Mossad versus the new KGB, phillyjeffsr. What are you, some anti-semite? Go back to Eagletairian.
