@Boomerang242
[Read the article: Lewis Libby owes his freedom to our corrupt political elite]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]and even the jurors didn't feel comfortable convicting him on one person's (Russert's) say so
12 to 0 for conviction, Boomerang.
me:"Then he was sentenced for those crimes by a judge who was following the sentencing guidelines in respect to those crimes."
Indeed he was. For the crime of being contradicted by Russert,
No, he was convicted by a jury of his peers.
Me:"Is there any reason why you would voice a defense of the criminal, Scooter Libby, beyond you just being stupid and blind to the reality of the situation?"
I decided to answer your question even with the pejoratives you added, because I understand the addled state of mind BDS inflicts upon it's victim.
-- shooter242
If despising a president who has absolutely no respect for the rule of law is defined by you as BDS then I'd say your definition of 'deranged' is, as always, Boomerang242 territory.

@Gary Owen
[Read the article: Lewis Libby owes his freedom to our corrupt political elite]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Now since you bothered to do that much research about me, why don't you READ my red star letters and get to know me. That way, you won't have to come back at me with your limp reply.
Quite the charmer. Aren't you, Gary? Not sure we need you "on our side". Thanks anyway.

Funny!

[Read more letters about this article: Here]In case some of you don't visit Firedoglake, you have to see this. I makes me laugh to tears.

"It's Hard Work"- GWB
[Read the article: Lewis Libby owes his freedom to our corrupt political elite]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Like so many Republicans, Bush apparently lacks the capacity to think in the abstract. He only found the sentencing guideline "harsh" when it was someone he knew personally. The 152 people whose death warrants he gave a cursory glance to before signing off on the day of their execution weren't exactly members of his social circle, so why bother?
On the other hand, isn't it far more likely that what he spent weeks worrying about was how to keep skittish little Scooter from spilling his guts if he failed to beat the rap --- and the NY Times just regurgitated a huge bucket of spin? Yeah, I thought so too

Hey, Boomerang, give that some thought. I know that would strain your brain, but give it a try anyway.

Memphis Blues and Garry Owen
[Read the article: Lewis Libby owes his freedom to our corrupt political elite]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]This line from Dylan's Memphis Blues is aimed at the Garry Owen's of the world:
Now the preacher looked so baffled
When I asked him why he dressed
With twenty pounds of headlines
Stapled to his chest.
But he cursed me when I proved it to him,
Then I whispered, "Not even you can hide.
You see, you're just like me,
I hope you're satisfied."
Oh, Mama, can this really be the end,
To be stuck inside of Mobile
With the Memphis blues again.

Shooter
[Read the article: Lewis Libby owes his freedom to our corrupt political elite]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]2) The verdict was 11-0 demonstrating substantial ignorance, much less understanding. Prattle on with your fellow inmates, but please do it without me.
-- shooter242
I know that, you worthless piece of &8*%. It's irrelevant to the fact that your boy was guilty beyond a reasonable doubt and that juries consist of 12. This time one was dismissed. If you think pointing that out makes your case or makes me look stupid or ignorant, as indeed you are both, then you are even more stupid and ignorant than I previously thought you to be. If that is even possible.
The very fact that you are trying to defend this scumbag traitor is disgusting enough in and of itself. That you are foolishly attempting to foul me because I don't defend him is disgusting to off the rails. You're a putrid citizen, shooter. America is stuck with you, I suppose. But calling you what you are, a putrid citizen, is available to me so I am using that availability.

@boomerang242
[Read the article: Lewis Libby owes his freedom to our corrupt political elite]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]"This is truly an individual, many french fries short of a happy meal. Heh."
-- shooter242
That's another quote from the guy who said "most people trust Bush and Cheney". If I had said something that stupid I would go hide my head in shame and never return to the scene of the crime. But Boomerang is used to being ridiculed for saying stupid stuff. It's an everyday thing for Boomerang242.

Moto
[Read the article: Lewis Libby owes his freedom to our corrupt political elite]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]So, is the solution to point and complain for another year and a half? Gee, anyone can do that. How about one of you brilliant wordsmiths penning a well-thought-out solution.
Yeah, that's what I thought.
-- motospyder
Is that your idea of adding something to the conversation? Saying you haven't read solutions, and don't expect to, but to leave yourself as someone who is not expected to have one?
Ask and answer your own questions? That's a conversation?

FDL link
[Read the article: Lewis Libby owes his freedom to our corrupt political elite]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]That Firedoglake link I left a few pages back was supposed to be a Kathy Griffin youtube that TRex posted. I see now that it takes you to the latest FDL post instead of the KG youtube. Sorry about that.
Really, though, it's funny as heck and I recommend watching it. Just go to Firedoglake and scroll down to find it if you're interested.

Ondelette
[Read the article: Lewis Libby owes his freedom to our corrupt political elite]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]It was the protests in Philippines, and in Ukraine, it may have been something else somewhere else. The protests and their refusal to disperse in the face of overwhelming force finally convinced the soldiers they were on the wrong side, and they switched sides. It doesn't have to go that way, but sometimes it does.
-- ondelette
I think that happened in Venezuela also. Soldiers switched sides and helped to kick out the interlopers rather than beat back the protesters.

Wow
[Read the article: Lewis Libby owes his freedom to our corrupt political elite]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Libby obstructed an investigation of no crime. How is that logically even possible?
-- shooter242
I've never really understood what makes you tick, shooter, but now, based on your sentence above, I see that you are just completely and undeniably stupid. It's as simple as that.
