    Would have taken the AF a lot longer than that. And then they would have paid her to come back in 6-9 months later.

My favorite line in that whole messed up article.

"They also found diapers, which Nowak said she used so she wouldn't have to stop on the 1,000-mile drive."

*

She looks like that cause she drove 12 hours while crapping in her diapers!

Something had to have happened to cause someone to go nuts like that.

A sane person wouldnt just drive 12 hours in diapers to threaten someone with a BB gun...

I can't stop thinking about what she was thinking about when she shat herself.

For being so accomplished, she must of had her shit together at some time.

10 points for the pun

It's easy to smuggle meth through space, didn't you know?

Nowak was wearing a trench coat and wig and had a knife, BB pistol, and latex gloves in her car, reports show. A steel mallet, several feet of rubber tubing and hand-written directions to Shipman's home were recovered from Nowak's car
Don't.....be.....suspicious.

They also found diapers, which Nowak said she used so she wouldn't have to stop on the 1,000-mile drive.
Awesome! Excellence in all we do.

A married mother of three, Nowak told police that she was involved in a relationship with, Bill Oefelein, another NASA astronaut, which she categorized as " more than a working relationship but less than a romantic relationship ," according to the charging affidavit.
Yeah.

She also told police the BB gun "was going to be used to entice Ms. Shipman to talk with her."
Yeah, and what about the knife and latex gloves?

Wow, reminds me of that faces of meth video. She was MILF material before. Now? I wouldn't touch that with 10man's d**k and HD pushing

MILF material? Yeeeesh...

There are varying degrees of MILFdom: Stifler's mom would rate a 10, Peggy Bundy a 4 or 5--You'd still bang her, but you wouldn't brag to your friends after. I'd say this one is (used to be!) a 6. Now?.... Not even on the scale.

You seriously think so? I guess once you switch back from the other team you've gotta crawl before you walk.

“A New Paradigm of Female Leadership” was the theme of the 2006 3rd Annual AcademyWomen Symposium where (then) Commander Lisa M. Nowak was the Keynote Speaker.

“AcademyWomen members are the women pioneers who bravely sought military training and now represent a new and outstanding paradigm of female leadership”, so it says.

Excuse me, but WTF! Kid, quick, bring me a bucket, I’m gona puke.

Astronaut Charged With Kidnap Attempt, Not Attempted Murder

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) -- Florida prosecutors charged an astronaut Friday with trying to kidnap a romantic rival, but they declined to file an attempted murder charge recommended by police.

Lisa Nowak, 43, was formally charged almost a month after she was arrested at an Orlando

Police have said the Houston mother of three had raced 900 miles in her car from Texas to Orlando on Feb. 5 to confront a woman she saw as a rival for another astronaut's affections. She donned a wig and trench coat, then sprayed a chemical into the woman's car when she wouldn't let Nowak in, police said.

In addition to attempted kidnapping to intent to inflict bodily harm, state prosecutors charged Nowak on Friday with burglary with a weapon and battery.

A spokesman for Nowak's attorney declined to comment because he hadn't seen the charges. Nowak is free on bond with an ankle tracking device.

Nowak believed Colleen Shipman was romantically involved with Navy Cmdr. William Oefelein, a pilot during space shuttle Discovery's trip to the space station last December, according to police. After the confrontation, Shipman drove to a parking lot booth for help.

Nowak had been a top astronaut who flew on Discovery last summer and won praise for operating the shuttle's robotic arm. NASA relieved her of all mission duties after her arrest.

Could the diaper have been some sort of clever device that she could later use to help make a plea of dimished responsibility (or, insanity)? If she was smart enough to be an astronaut, then she must have been smart enough to consider the possibility that she would be caught.

Or, maybe she really is plain old nuts.

Not worth trying to figure her out...standard psycho chick.
