We're winning and regardless of what happens to us, you've already lost.

Isn't it about time for David Broder to retire?

If I were better versed on this subject, I'd jump in to help but alas....

"In the Mousawi trial much of the time was spent trying to conceal the sources of the evidence for exactly the reasons I noted above - as well as to conceal some of other methods used to obtain it. In the cold war, there were rarely spy trials for the same reason - too much was revealed in order to obtain a conviction."

You're full of shit.

In the Mousawi trial, the time was spent trying to conceal the fact that there was no evidence, it wasn't spent concealing the source or methods used to generate it.

Please stop whining.

Thanks.

Anyone who uses the words Republican or Democrat when describing New Orleans politics knows nothing of what they are speaking about. Standard party affiliations are non-existant in New Orleans.

Please stop whining.

"Without a doubt PBS considers Bush a greater threat than suicide bombers. At least until another attack occurs." - Shooter

Actually, if you consider the country as a whole, rather than just your little piece of the sewer, Shooter, if PBS were to believe Bush a greater threat than suicide bombers, they would be correct.

"As another aside, I've heard rumblings that the Fort Dix attackers were brought over here from Bosnia with no vetting, by none other than Mrs. Bill Clinton."

Where have you heard these "rumblings", Shooter?

"The "difference" is that Clinton ADMITTED to lying, sexual or not, while I don't think"

You should have stopped right there.

You're over your per/page limit.

Shouldn't you be off getting ready for the rapture or something?

You're absolutely correct.

During the hearing itself, I got the distinct impression that the panel was not hearing Comey's story for the first time but were merely prompting him to tell it publicly.

Therefore, it's my opinion they were well aware of what program he was referring to in his open testimony.

9-11 changed everything, didn't it?

I'm sorry.

I should not have mentioned 9-11 without attributing it to the complete and total dismantling of our military and inteligence services by the Clintons.

Mona - please spank me for I have sinned.

"A modest proposal: maybe we can find some inhospitable place (like Antarctica) and ship all violent religious fanatics there to fight each other into oblivion. Then the rest of us could get on in peace."

Penguins don't hurt anyone.

May I suggest Virginia Beach?

That was a Magnificent Effort, Sir, and I can't disagree with any of it.

* IF the CIA was sure she was covert why was a criminal referral necessary?

Because that's how the CIA is supposed to do things when someone "outs" one of their covert people.

* Why did Fitzgerald avoid the covert aspect by stating he wouldn't address it.

Because it wasn't germane to the charges he brought against Libby.

* Why wouldn't the current CIA director testify under oath that she was covert?

Because he wasn't asked to do so? Did you testify that she wasn't covert? If not, why not?

* But mainly, why bring it up now regarding Libby's sentencing but not at trial? Libby wasn't convicted for ANYTHING regarding Plame's status, it wasn't a factor. But here is the prosecutor trying to present something he couldn't prove in court as evidence?

Because it is germane to how Libby should be sentenced.

It like getting a speeding ticket and when you go to court and plead guilty, the prosecutor tells the judge they also think your car is stolen so they should give you jail time. If this isn't misconduct by a prosecutor, it should be.

Isn't your ass sore from all the crap you pull out of it?

Let us not forget that Thompson also played the ultimate father figure of all those NASCAR fans when he played the Bill France character in that epic movie, "Days of Thunder".

Oy. We're in trouble now.

Actually, I look forward to the day where he actually puts his hat into the ring and starts taking shots from those Republican candidates who have had their asses hanging out for months now.

It'll be fun to watch their reactions.

We know you're reading this......

"In fact, the White House's principal response to Waas' story, copied so efficiently by Allen, appears to be factually false, as the order unearthed by Waas does not seem to have been published in the Federal Register at all. Indeed, the memo itself prominently bears the designation: "Internal Order -- Not Published in F.R.". And the only seemingly relevant Federal Register entry does not remotely constitute publication of that delegation. Did Allen even look at the memo or the Federal Register to see if the claims he mindlessly repeating were true? It's hard to believe he did."

My question to you is: Did you fact check your comment regarding the memo's inclusion in the FR?

If so, you are a liar and I shouldn't believe a word you publish.

If not, you couldn't pop a pimple on a real journalist's ass and I shouldn't believe a word you publish.

Your choice.

Is "ass kisser" the phrase you were thinking of?

"Just to be clear, the claim about its being published in the Federal Register was something he quoted from an anonymouse White House official."

You aren't suggesting that he might try the "Putz Defense" are you?

Re: "(I)just talked to a reporter from Salon who wanted to know if I was going to "retract" an earlier blog post in which I said it looked as if Plame wasn't covert. I noted that one normally issues a retraction for original reporting, not commenting upon other people's news stories."

(Insta)Putz to Salon: I am Instapundit, bitches!

Does that make Allen a member of the Putzen?
