I particulary loved the part where Leahy scratched out by April 27, 2007 and scrawled within a week, eerily reminding me of the Sharpies ads now appearing on your television screen.

It would have been nice if Leahy annotated the letter further, like maybe sticking a you fucking moron after: The questions asked by Senators hsould not have been a surprise . . .

I certainly look forward to a return appearance of Gonzo AGAG when he is unable to respond in writing in a timely manner. Maybe him and Condi, Andrew Card and Monica Goodling can car pool and save the taxpayers some dough when they double-date and haul their lying asses up the Hill to testify.

Why, one might ask, did the Texians want to secede from Mexico, which clearly owned Texas at the time?

Well, it seems that the Mexicans were getting awfully high and mighty about trying to prevent illegal immigration onto Texas by gringos.

More troubling, however, was the fact that the Constitution of Mexico prohibited slavery - and God knows them Mes'cans were not going to prevent the good old boys - Davey and Jim and Travis from exercising the sacred right to own slaves.

or more technically:

Middle English suppena, from Medieval Latin sub poen, under a penalty (from the opening words of the writ) : Latin sub, under; see sub- + Latin poen, ablative of poena, penalty; see kwei-1 in Indo-European roots.

Send the Sergeant-at-Arms of the House and a posse over to Foggy Nottom, slap her in chains and an orange jump suit - and march her ass up the Hill to Congress.

It's time to take off the kid gloves and treat these criminals for what they are - criminals.

then those 64% are just the lunatic fringe. Everybody in the know knows that consensus is generated in a 5-mile radius from the Washington Monument and then simulcast to the neobots for general dissemination.

Ever since Wolfowitz unleased the hideosity of the Comb Lick manuever on an unsuspecting public - it has only been a matter of time before the jug-eared clown with holes in his socks came to grief.

Unfortunately - anyone who licks a comb - and keep in mind that THE COMB he licked belonged to Kevin Kellems, his public affairs officer at the Pentagon, now known as "keeper of the comb," for having been the person to hand his infamous comb to Wolfie.

And then in your august wisdom, you can dictate that only movies you will like will be made. i ahve a feeling there's more to this movie than your review may indicate, too bad you were too pissed off to pick up on it.

it's looking more and more like obstruction of justice was the primary underlying impetus for the Attorneygate purges.

The Bud Cummins firing in Arkansas may be the key. Cummins was in the midst of investigating Missouri Governor Matt Blunt (idiot offspring of Congressman Roy Blunt - longtime DeLay lackey and general bottom feeder) for corrupt practices involved in the use of license bureau franchises as political favors.

Why, you might ask, was the US Attorney from the Eastern District of Arkansas investigating Missouri's governor?

One reason might be is that Blunt made a gift of a license bureau franchise to the wife of Todd Graves, the US Attorney for the Western District of Missouri - so Graves couldn't very well investigate the BFF who had given his wife a $3 million dollar enterprise.

When Karl Rove and the fascist crooks from the West Wing are finally forced to turn over the 5,000,000 e-mails - quite a story will be revealed.

If you'd done your fucking job at the time, 3,000+ American troops and 650,000 Iraqis might still be enjoying life on planet earth.

Apparently you were just too shy to tell Bush and Cheney to back off, or did you just so want the Medal of Freedom. Hope it soothes you conscience, asshole.

Curse you, Tony Snow, for the conflicting emotions you are generating in my brain.

Am I the only one who sees a problem with a sitting governor giving a $2,500,000.00 GIFT to the wife of the US Attorney who is responsible for federal law enforcement in the very state in which the governor presides??

I know - its pretty much business as usual for Republican swine like Elephantboy, but, to quote Joseph Welch concerning another Republican, "In the end sir, have you no shame."

As for the legality of these action, asshole, that's why Congress wants to see those 5,000,000 hidden e-mails, whose deletion constitutes obstruction of justice - which is - last time I checked and you can ask Scooter Libby - a FELONY.

it certainly seems as if Abu Gonozales delegated virtually everything that could be considered part of his JOB so he could practice the mnemonic exercises that have made his prodigious feats of memory legendary within the Department of Justice.

Note for Jim: "Non-civil service employees" means the top of the food chain - not the janitors. Folks like Todd Graves, for example, the former US Attorney for the Western District of Missouri, whose wife was given a drivers license bureau worth $2.5 million by Gov. Matt Blunt.

That's the headline, thanks.

In a fit of prissy petulance, George W. Bush, the only president who is also a former cheerleader, vetoed a funding bill that would provide supplies to troops he put in harm's way.
