Since much of the case against Libby is based on his recolections/testimony being different from Russert's... WOW.
I hope the prosecution all got some milk of magnesia in their Fitzmas stockings.

Definately a few "Oh My" moments there.

I also commend to one and all the ongoing coverage of this by Tom McGuire over at Just One Minute.

Sausage, laws, and press reports...

Timmy's huffing and puffing about preserving 'confidentiality' has been proven to be nothing but stale hot air.

He was willing to violate any confidentiality to 'get' Libby, but then lied about the conversations when he made legally-binding statements to the court.

Since not remembering conversations is considered to be 'perjury' in the eyes of Fitzgerald, when will Russert be brought up on charges of lying about his statements to the FBI?

I love it!!! First this news, the exposure of the Edwards hate speech bloggers and the networks are FINALLY covering the Nancy Pelosi plane scandal.

Long live the blogs and Fox News!!!

Good times, good times.

About (a): Russert insisted the words in the FBI report, i.e. "may have come up" are not his. Instead, the agent was paraphrasing, badly. We'll see if the defense calls the agent involved to the stand. Regardless, every witness with firsthand knowledge of Plame/Wilson, got that knowledge from Scooter instead of vice versa as Scooter's alibi requires and how he had testified to the grand jury.

First this news, the exposure of the Edwards hate speech bloggers and the networks are FINALLY covering the Nancy Pelosi plane scandal.

Mmm, yes finally. Wait!

White House defends Pelosi plane request

Edwards to Keep Bloggers Who Regret Anti-Catholic Postings

Awww.

No fair, Mantis - I was drinking coffee. Now it's EVERYWHERE... lol

I look forward to Kim updating and bumping her Pelosi smear campaign to make this correction.

and the bloggers were warned by Edwards' office to not run with the story they thought they had on the firing -- but no, let's now wait for the facts - that's soooo "MSM" - let's jump in and lie and smear -- and by the time the truth comes out the damage is done.

So glad Jo took the opportunity to take this thread off-topic -- it's unlikely the correction and truth would be read here otherwise.

High fives for the libbies!

Just try and leave the seat up in Pelosi's plane!

You know, mantis, the wizbangers remind me of a cook. Everyday they cook up a big pot of nonsense, sprinkle a bit of hyperbole, mix in a cup of lies, with a dash of faux outrage, in a sauce of righteous comdemnation.

And at the end of the day it all turns to s**t.

So let me understand: Lee/Mantis - you guys are ecstatic that perhaps the real scoop on Pelosi's screw-ups (on her way to being the Socialist Queen) is not being run by the MSM after all. I'm beginning to believe you guys arent real libs, but Mercenary Libs. Someone should cut off your amenities.

gc

Yes, because Michelle Malkin can be trusted to get to the bottom of a scandal that the MSM can't touch.

Oh yea, then there's this problem that the White House defended Pelosi...

I'm not sure what you're referring to gc. I think the story just broke this morning, and is seems to be getting out there. I'm ok with that.

It's a good time for Malkin's patented "The-baby-made-me-ill-so-I'm-going-to-bed-for-three-days posts.

I for one am glad Edwards didn't fire them. Now they won't just dissappear and be forgotten. Although something tells me they will still fade into a less public position. So this is the guy that libs expect to be a strong leader, and he can't even stand up to the threat of "vicious rants" and "action alerts"!! Hilarious. And of COURSE we got their typical, liberal, non-apology apology, "I'm sorry if you were offended". Just like barney nailed earlier.

So let's see if I get this straight. Amnada Marcotte writes:

"What if Mary had taken Plan B after the Lord filled her with his hot, white, sticky Holy Spirit?"

And then says:

"My intention is never to offend anyone for his or her personal beliefs, and I am sorry if anyone was personally offended by writings meant only as criticisms of public politics." (my emphasis).

So shorter Marcotte is:

"fuck you, Christofascists. I can say anything I want, and if you don't like it, you're a fascist. Suck God's thick hairy cock, wingnuts!"

And you people are glad Silky Pony is keeping her and McEwen?

And you wonder why Democrats have a problem connecting with religious folk. There really is no depth to which you loathsome asshats won't sink.

getting back to the Libby trial...it is clear Lorie has not read the transcripts of Scooter's Grand Jury testimony...We will see how the jury decides..
Remember..this trial is not about Valarie P., it is about Scooter lying...

note #1..ya all jumped to conclusions based on a report from lefty site Salon..you should have known better..

Note #2...Nancy was right(by the way what is going on with "cut-n-run" Delay?)

Note #3
"11 dead in two days while GOP Senators prevent debate."

yep..takin' it to the inner city is working out...

...I will just mention over 360 TONS of cash flown over and give out by Bremer who Bush gave the Medal of Freedom...

Don't any of the hardcore posters here find ANY fault?

Let me clarify my own position. First, I don't believe most voters will be at all aware of what bloggers are working on what campaigns, and probably won't care if they are. Second, if the Breck Girl (love that nickname) were to win the Democratic primary, I wouldn't vote for him, so I'm hoping he won't be the candidate on the left. Third, I find the self-importance of bloggers on both sides hilarious, so this whole debacle is quite amusing to me. I hope it continues.

oh yeah "And you wonder why Democrats have a problem connecting with religious folk. There really is no depth to which you loathsome asshats won't sink."

...is it your claim that "religious" folk did not help vote the clear majority of Dems in the House?
By the way..what do your religious folks think about Rudy? ...I can cut and paste what Focus on Family thinks about McCain...So your religious folks disapprove of the top two Republican Candidates...

I for one am hoping that Edwards is the demo candidate. I would really want that. ww

I feel the same way about Guiliani, WW. Infinitely beatable.

Nogo,
Let me try to explain slowly again. Let me use an example: just wrt the Iraq war, the majority of the Reps in the Senate were for victory in Iraq (there are a minority who wants to cut and run). On the other hand, the majority of Dems are for defeat (or cut and run) in Iraq. You have one exception in Lieberman. So picking Hagel as your poster Rep child on the war in Iraq is definitely not representative. And that 's what I call propaganda from the liberal MSM.
The same with religious issues. Obviously not all Reps are on the same page with the religious folks. But the Dems as a whole are definitely anti-religious (esp the christian religion) folks. Just look at the actions of the liberal left and you can know. Citing a few known pro-choice Reps like Rudy doesn't make your arg. This is the perfection fallacy. Hope you get it this time.

BTW, Pelosi has proven to be hypocritical, incompetent. I don't know who would want to believe her words. Probably the liberals who want to defend her at any cost. The fact that liberals still go to the mat for this arrogant, elist, hypocritical liberal leader tells us much about the honesty of the liberal left.

BTW, the left seems to have no problems wrt the lies from Wilson and Valerie P. They seem to support lying and cronyism. Just another example of the honesty of the liberal left again.

You forgot the "moral sewage."

Is there any doubt about what the nutroots would be saying if Marcotte had aimed her potty-mouth at Mohammed? Is there any doubt about what those same folks would say if a Republican candidate hired Ann Coulter? F'n hypocrites.

BTW, LoveAmericaImmigrant, I've noticed that seem to do everything in "twos". You almost always post two comments back to back, and often the comments are broken into two, as was the case on each of these. Why is that? Does your psychiatrist have an opinion?

Sure mantis,
The liberal left is in the intellectual and moral sewage. That 's my conclusion and I stand by it. The actions of the liberal left confirm my conclusion.

Lee,
simple explanation: I don't have time to post all the times. So I post when I can, and sometimes I don't remember all the points. So I need additional posts. What is your problem? Try to sidestep the facts and logic again?

ACCK! I wrote two sentences, which were followed by two questions -- it's contagious ACKK!

AAAAAAAACKKK!

LoveAmerika Enemagrunt

Why don't you look for another country to slime into, one that is just a tink closer to the Fascism of which you dream one day of goose-stepping to?

puke,
Your juvenile posting confirms my conclusion that the liberal left is in an intellectual/moral sewage.

BTW, not sure you know history or anything. I just ran from a fascist/communist country. Facism and Communism and modern liberalism are variations of the same underlying philosophy: secular statism.

AAAAAAAACKKK!

LoveAmeriKa Enemagrunt

You haven't the foggiest notion of Fascism, Liberalism or Communism.

You must be some distant relative of the Great Dermocratist, the Franco-educated Catholic Western puppet, Diem.

LoveAmerica Immigrant, What do you mean things "seem"? Don't you know that Joe Wilson had made similar trips to Niger in the 90s and was the obvious choice to go again? And that his wife really did work in the counter-proliferation department of the agency? If the Cheney gang wasn't so obviously cooking up phoney intel in the pentagon (having suborned the DIA), the CIA may not have been so suspicious. Even the bureacrats working near the neocon slime in the pentagon could smell the fecal matter in the pot. Google Kriatkowski: she was in the office. I don't know where you came from, but the Social Contract is the way things work here.

Wilson is a known proven liar. And Valerie P. used her position to send her husband to Niger. No matter how you spin it, the liberals don't have any problem with lying and cronyism. Even Kerry dropped Wilson as an foreign policy advisor. Only the liberals who are still in the liberal sewage wouldn't know this. Now Pelosi is in full mode to exempt her connected SF based company from the minimum wage increase. Liberals will continue to defend the liar Wilson, his wife, and Pelosi.

Puke is a prime example of this sewage given his contentless posts. Note that Puke couldn't refute any point in my post. Puke hated Diem that much, so it means he has been a supporter of the evil communists. That shouldn't be a surprise given his liberal background. So Puke is a communist puppet from now on.

I've heard that supersspy PlameWilson can not only see through buildings with their super x-ray vision, but can also turn steel into platinum with mind rays. What a shame these two superstars had to flee to Santa Fe because of the super-evil BushitlerCheneyHaliburtonRove. Our nation needs them now.

LoveAmeriKa Enemagrunt

Just what was Wilson's lie? I hear it referenced all the time. Care to explain or elucidate just exactly what was the lie?

Scooter's trial is not about who "outed" Wilson's wife...it is about if Scooter lied to the grand jury.
If any bothered to check the transcripts of the tape that was played this week you might find some problems facing Scooter and his defense?
Wilson's lie was under oath when he told the grand jury the first he heard about Wilson's wife was from Russert...

The transcript clearly shows this was not the case..

by the way...what Wilson did was publicly debunk the President who looked us in the eye and knowingly lied about yellowcake/Africa...

..unless of course you argue the Commander-in-Chief was out of the "loop".
