Earlier today Nicole posted video from a House hearing dealing with allegations that State Department Inspector General Howard "Cookie" Krongard impeded investigations into corruption in Iraq. During the hearing, Krongard repeatedly denied rumors that his brother, Buzzy Krongard was on Blackwater's advisory board -- but on tonight's Countdown we learned that lo and behold, after returning from a break in testimony, Krongard informed the Committee that he had just spoken with his brother and that he did, in fact, sit on Blackwater's board and that he was recusing himself from any further matters dealing with the mercenary contractor. He may want to consider lawyering up.
Cookie said under oath that he had spoken to his brother six weeks prior to the hearing and claims his brother failed to tell him he was going to join Blackwater's advisory board, but according to an interview given to TPM, Buzzy claims he DID tell Cookie he was going to join Blackwater's board two or three weeks before the hearing, which would put his brother's claims in question. Who should be believe, Cookie or Buzzy?

I guess Cookies' goose is cooked!
Buzzy, that way we can move forward with investigation of corruption and cover up in the State Department.
if it ain't about sexual perversions...it's about LIES.......how much do ya wanna bet he was on the take ...for blackwater?
all this crap makes Bill Clinton look like a fricken SAINT!
Buzzy? Cookie? Scooter?
WTF?
Toes @ 5:
ROFL!!
That's what I was thinking!
What, are these guys 8 or something? Some serious questions need to be raised about the level of maturity of those in power right now.
Anyone with love left for this country knows from instinct that Blackwater is un-American. Therefor, anyone who refused to stand up to the MIC beforehand (i.e. the Democrats in Congress) have little love for their country. How many dollars have Democrats poured into Eric Prince's coffers? Money, I might add, borrowed from the Chinese, because Boomers refuse to pay sufficient taxes.
Man, the hits just keep on coming for this administration. I can hardly for 20 or 30 years from now when this is all written up in the history books. I'll be in my 70's and loving every minute of the last 7 years being chroicled as The. Worst. Presidency. EVER!
Another right wing criminal trash hick with a dumb name.
Buzzy?
These freaks want us all to believe they are professionals while they loot the American treasury while destroying America's reputation as the entire world looks on!!
C for Cookie:

Another right wing criminal trash hick with a dumb name.
I'm going through my copy of '1984' right now and replacing all the names with nicknames like "Chesty" and "Sparky" and "Dr. Giggles" and "Turd Blossom."
It's great fun.
mudshark @ 4:
He is a saint compared to these lying traitorous crooks!
When can we see Cookie and Buzzy indicted? Corrupt pieces of human excrement should be flushed down the drain.
conservatoire @ 8:
Except by then nobody will know how to read. We'll all be full-time television addicts. And we'll probably elect GW the Third.
Is this really an either/or question? How about neither?
Heres a thought. Lets send both of these pricks to a black site for a little rendition. I like that
The clock is ticking, we must take away Bush's ability to strike Iran.
See video: U.S. Citizens Speak: Bush, Don't Strike Iran!
somebody arrest Cookie for indecency...he's flippin everyone off.
Buzzy Krongard will go down as one of the most influential former executive directors of the CIA ever to come through Washington. He made a shitload of money for A.B Brown through his Saudi/Bush contacts and now this Blackwater thing, which is actually old news if you know anything about Blackwater, SEALs and/or Special Ops in general, is making many people millions of merc money.. Every SPECWARFARE operator I have spoken to all agree that never in the history of special warfare have its operators become so much the object of politics.
crooks and liars.
The truth is out there and IT IS coming to get you:
from www.talkingpointsmemo.com
BREAKING NEWS:
Things are not looking good for State Department Inspector General "Cookie" Krongard. Today he told the House Oversight Committee that his brother wasn't on the Blackwater advisory board. Then when he was later confronted with news to the contrary, he said he'd only just found out and would henceforth recuse himself from all Blackwater inquiries.
Spencer Ackerman just interviewed Krongard's brother, "Buzzy" Krongard, who told Spencer that he definitely did tell his brother all about it. Only a few weeks ago apparently.
Perjury charges have been made of much less.
I love the way Cookie crumbled. Sorry, someone had to say it.
A lying GOP crony-hack, covering the administrations ass!
Well, now I have heard it all. I'm Stunned. Who would have thunk it???
So when are they going to subpoena the third brother, Curly?
Cookie? Buzzy? Scooter? Jeez, it's like the Sopranos as written by Sesame Street. It would be bloody funny if it weren't... not so funny. And very, very bloody.
Symes @ 6:
This is when we need The Daily Show most.
Um, could I have a 5 minute recess to get my lies and bullshit in order?
Who in the hell is running central casting for the republicans. That person deserves an oscar for screen names Scooter, karl, Cookie and the defender of right I give you of cxourse Mr. Prince. Come on you can't make it up
Who should be believe, Cookie or Buzzy?
Sorry, I don't trust any middle-aged man who goes by a nickname like those (or scooter for that matter, unless you're referring to the late, great Phil Rizzuto).
Buzzy and Cookie.
I bet bush is pissed because you can't give nicknames to guys who already have them. How about "Dumb" and "Dumber"?
Straight Shooter @ 32:
Naw, that won't work. Those are the names given to Neil and George by Poppy Bush and Babs.
Toes @ 5:
It's pretty straightforward -- all mobsters get nicknames once they're "made". It's been pretty frickin' clear for years that we're dealing with an organized crime syndicate. The problem is that these mobsters have been allowed to police themselves. Joy.
the military keynesianism has to stop
Straight Shooter @ 31:
Bush ever the crafty one referred to Buzzy and Cookie as "The Buzzster" and "The Cookster" or was it Bill and Bob? You can never tell with Chimpy McFlightsuit.
Can you imagine walking in to a boardroom or government conference room and refering to someone in power as Buzzy or Cookie? The mind reels but I'm sure the folks in jail will love having the boys come stay with them. That is if Bush doesn't pardon/commute them and really what are the odds of that?
I say we believe Crunchy. Grab the gavel. We gonna do some bangin'!
This rabbit hole goes all the way to the top ;)
At least they have nicknames that are 'prison-bitch' ready.
"Who should be believe, Cookie or Buzzy?"
I would suggest that, since the mission is so far completely successful, who cares who is believed?
What's more important than American lives?
Cookie? Buzzie? Scooter? Chimpy?
Seems like if you have a stupid nickname in Washington you are a criminal and get put under investigation.
Hmmm...methinks we should come up with a nickname for Cheney.
Wait a minute, he's already Darth, so....
Forgetting "Turd Blossom" (Rove), Shrub (Bush himself), Brownie, Hammer (Delay), "Bandar Bush" (the Saudi prince that was "adopted" into the Bush clan), Fredo (Gonzales), "Kenny Boy" (Kenneth Lay, criminal leader of Enron), and so on... You'll note he calls Emperor Dick Cheney, "Dick". How telling.
I'm not sure if Rummy and Condie count... I'm sure Laura has to run him through the flash cards every night so he doesn't call everyone, "hey you there".
I just like the faux-honesty of, "Well, now that you've caught me I promise not to have done what was clearly unethical that I did in the past from now on. So... I'm good, right? Can I go now?"
Symes @ 6:
Don't laugh at them. This is just what the good ol' boys call each other when they're at the still.
swarmofkillermonkeys @ 42:
"Burt Reynolds"
Ya that's not my name.....
Hughhgh...."Turd Ferguson"
"Ya whaddya want?"
I like Turd Blossom...haha
I believe Cookie is flipping off Waxman in that pic.
I'm sure Cookie called Bushy, "Hey did you see me flip off Waxman?! I flipped off 'merica! Hee hee."
I would like to hear what Sneezey, Grumpy, Happy, Dopey and Doc Krongard have to say about all this.
I wonder if Krongard's other relatives and friends in Blackwater and government have names like Lucky, Buster, Nicky, Patsy, Raffie, Moochie, Rocky, Rats, Butcher, etc.
Swine ... all swine.
When I watched Keith's 5 p. m. segment (PST), I asked myself if Cookies and Buzzy are members of the Mafia.
So the paper trail clearly shows he perjured himself. I think that's a, um, what do that call that? Felony, that's it. A very clear cut case for our new AG. Just collect all the emails, and statements, and they already have the phone conversations at the NSA, so that should be easy. All that's left is for chimpy to give him a pardon and send him to the club house for drinks and hookers.
And if I heard correctly, this piece of filth was then cordially invited to attend a Christmas dinner with George Bush.
Liars and traitors, all of them.
And they just had to show that smug piece of crap, the Prince of Darkness.
Buzzy and Cookie, and Scooter for that matter...cutesy-pie names, bringing new meaning to the expression, putting lipstick on a bunch of pigs.
They say what goes around, comes around. I'm waiting to see the come-around part, and it better be good.
We used to have a cat we named "Cookies" because he was so fat he looked like he'd eaten an entire package of cookies.
Maybe this guy is called "Cookie" because his [and his brother's] hand was always in the Federal cookie jar.
more lies before congress. who would have thought that possible with this administration.
NEVER believe anybody named "Cookie" or "Buzzy". Ever. Just a little life lesson for ya.
Never.
what is with these frat boy nicknames????? I thought "grown ups" were supposed to be taking over the White House after Bill Clinton, but we get Turd Blossom, Fredo, Brownie and now Cookie and Buzzy!!!! These aren't "grown ups" they are elderly frat boys who never grew up, they just get more and more evil with each passing year. They are all like that evil doll Chuckie. Isn't it time we got rid of the old frat boys and put some real grown ups in charge. But America will never go for that, because the real grown ups will tell you the frat boys have completely demolished this country like frat boys destroy a hotel room and wait for Daddy to pay for the mess.
Just standard operating proceedure for the republicans. Lie cheat steal kill as long as you can.
Has anyone told Turd Blossom about this?
One thing the frat boys really need to do is dump the ridiculous nick names when they leave university. As if the impression that the country is being run by a bunch of drunken misogynist school boys isn't already apparent.
I don't believe Cooky or Buzzy. I also don't believe Bushie or Dickie or Condi or Rummy or Libby or Brownie or Rudy.
Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich tell the truth, but I'm not sure anyone else does any more.
This is such bullshit! These people are murderers and criminals. Who gives a flying rat's ass what their sophomoric nicknames are? As far as I'm concerned, the only nicknames I want associated with all of these people - from Bush on down to these two assholes - are prison numbers.
more at my blog...
MY OPINION IS THAT THEY WERE BOTH LYING...
--------THEY ARE REPUBLICANS.... THE ODDS ARE IN MY FAVOR
Wow. In the good old days this guy would be broken on the wheel, tarred and feathered, run out of town on a rail, and left to die alone on some windswept crag. Ah, the good old days!
That guy should be fired and put on trial for corruption. Period.
mudshark @ 4:
I wish we could go back to the good ole' days when the only thing our President was doing wrong was getting a hummer in the Oval Office.
This would be the FUNNIEST story ever if it weren't so pathetic! So, tell me WHO picked this guy as the IG?????? It has certain (let's pick a lying incompetent) fingerprints on it...still, it continues to amaze how these idiots have no clue they are on a record, being recorded, videoed and that their remarks can be retrieved! So, this is the BEST guy to investigate anything?????
He called his brother while playing outside at recess? Check his phone records. And his antiperspirant. And his shorts. And the answer to the question is C:None of the above.
Okay, so where is Wally and The Beaver in this Blackwater issue? (Since Eddie Haskell, Boomer, Cookie and Buzzy are all accounted for)
Waterboard the bastards.
Anybody notice what was going on with cookies eyes (zig zag zig zag down zag zig down) while he answered the questions in the first part of that clip.
Wonder why he such a bad liar? Not enough practice? Poor training? Poor preparation? Fear? Doesn't matter, he is a liability to his friends.
Who should be believe, Cookie or Buzzy?
Give them each a knive, lock them in a room, which ever one comes out alive throw in prison. Simple solution!
Follow the bouncing ball, boys and girls:
They're creepy and they're spooky,
They're "Buzzy" and they're "Cookie",
They're altogether ooky,
The Krongard family.
What does the Bush administration do -- set up recruiting booths at gangster conventions? Where do they find the endless procession of thugs populating their ranks? Is there a checkbox on the application: hate the law? When they ask about felonies, are they screening people out, or in?
James Ratliff @ 54:
Would the American people wake up and pay attention to this scam. The relationship between defense companies- federal government contracting is just raping us of our money as the Repub cronies help each other get rich! And they act so smug and patriotic. Eisenhower warned us of this 50 years ago.
The Sea Hawk @ 19:
I specifically remember reading shortly after 911 that the trail of "shorts" on United and American Airlines stocks led directly to "Buzzy "Krongard. Since then, NOT ONE WORD from our Dem "opposition" regarding these crimes.
A grown man calling himself Scooter blew my mind. But Buzzy? Cookie? Do they ACTUALLY go by those names?!? Any man with any sense of pride in himself does not answer to Cookie! WTF?? Where do they find these corrupt people with kiddie names!?
Wonder who gave these losers their stupid nick names...Bush or
their favorite D.C. hooker?
at the end of the clip, anyone else catch bush checking out the IG's wife and struggling to stand still?
Lying under oath = perjury. Charge, try,convict and sentence! D
Don't let these bastards get away with it any longer!
LYING...SACK...OF...SHIT...........PERIOD...
New nicknames when "Buzzy" and "Cookie" go to prison: Sweet-ass bitches!
I haven't had the time to read the other replies, but after reading this story about the Krongard brothers, "family values" came to my mind.
Does recuse yourself mean to find a hole, crawl into it and throw as much dirt upon yourself that no one could ever find you?
The military industrial complex is at full force currently. Let's just hope that some of our lawmakers forget about the business lobby for just a few votes and begin import some trust back into the system. Bind hope I guess.
You gotta' give it to Erik Prince for founding one heck of a mercenary force. SEALs rule. Blackwater I'm afraid is problematic for several scary reasons.
" Cookie " ............ " Buzzy " ..... ??
' Kookie . Kookie , lend me your comb ' ........ so I can get the rats out of
my hair !
The General said he would resign if his brother was a part of BWS , but
when the truth came out , he recused ........... j'accuse !
Give this caper a dewey decimal number and assign it to Fitzgerald or
maybe Dr. I. M. Kookie ..............
