It would be very difficult
[Read the article: What Bush is hiding]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]to prove an obstruction charge, but it seems that is where this is heading.
Ms. Lam is the key in this case, but how do you prove that she was fired to prevent her from uncovering more Republican corruption?
My personal belief is that even if the D’s in Congress issue subpoenas, the right wing loyalist of the DC Circus Court of appeals will rule 2-1 in favor of Bush and his Executive Privilege, assuming the Bushie loyal AG’s decide to empower a Grand Jury. By the time this reaches Supremes, Commander Codpiece will be out of a job.
Having said that, Speaker Pelosi and Majority Leader Reid should NOT let this matter drop. Someone has to hold these b*stards accountable.

Unbelievable but true
[Read the article: Rove, proven liar]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]By now the porous brainpans of the Washington press corps not only seem to have excused Rove's leaking and lying about Plame's CIA position, but also to have erased that disgraceful episode from their memories.
Is it any wonder that in 2004 CNN ran a story that said the following about the MSM:
for many under 30, the host of Comedy Central's "The Daily Show" is, improbably, an important news source.

25 years from now when I'm in my seventies historians will look back at this era and conclude that this is impossible, but it was also true. A 1/2 hour comedy show provided more context and accurate analysis about the Bush administrations documented history of mendacities then the combined effort of all 4 primetime news services and the entire g*dd*mn press corps.

Wrong question is asked
[Read the article: Refuting Karl Rove's talking points]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Only five of almost 500 attorneys have been fired midterm in the last 25 years. Can we stop saying what Bush did is just what every president does?
Ms. Walsh, I do not mean to disagree, but you are asking the wrong question. The actual question should be:
Can the lapdog, media whoring, gang of 500 pre$$titutes stop saying what Bush did is just what every president does?
()With the exception of Mr. Kieth Olbermann, I can say with complete certainty that the answer is NO.
To attempt to get the gang of 500 to stop doing he said/she said reporting is like trying to teach a pig to fly. It waste your time and annoys the pig.

Smart about Politics, but
[Read the article: Follow the e-mails]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]the Whitehouse is clueless about technology. Emails do not disappear from the Web after you send them. You can wipe data on a hard drive, but if you send it using the network, forget it. If the D's have the political will to take this investigation all the way to the end, they will find out what was sent on domain gwb43.com. The only thing that can stop them is Johnny the Robber and a majority of the Supremes.
Bush sees the new Congress as the same beast that ensnared his father in fatal compromise and as a monstrous threat to the imperial presidency he has spent six years carefully building.
That about sums it up. The ball is in the court of the Lady Pelosi and Henry the Waxman. I wonder if he's still Waxing Roth.

What was the point
[Read the article: In other words]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]of this post Mr. Grieve? That Mr. Bush has the intellectual curiosity of a carrot? I knew that. That he can not string two coherent sentences together? I and the rest of reality based community know that too. That the lapdog Media give him a free pass? That has been apparent for the last 6 f*cking years.
Without a supermajority in both chambers, the D's in Congress can impeach Commander Codpiece but they can not convict. We are stuck with this dumbsh*t for approximately 1 year, 9 months and 10 days, and there is nothing in the Universe we can do about it.

Committee to
[Read the article: He didn't mean to leak Plame's identity, either]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Reaffirm American Principles (CRAP).
I do not believe him. 99% of the D’s and I’s (Independents) do not believe him.
But the good news for the Turd who Blossoms is that most of the Corporate Media and the Republican Kool-Aid drinkers will continue to give him a free pass:
Running Massacre?
January 17, 2007 3:31Posted by Jay Carney
That's how Josh Marshall over at Talking Points Memo describes a story that his blog and its offshoot, TPMMuckraker.com, have played a laudable role in uncovering: the resignations of more than a dozen United States Attorneys across the country...
It's all very suspicious-sounding. The provision smacks of a power-grab...It looks even worse when it turns out one of the "interim" US attorneys appointed by Alberto Gonzales is Tim Griffin...who worked in Karl Rove's shop at the White House and as director of research
Of course! It all makes perfect conspiratorial sense!
Except for one thing: in this case some liberals are seeing broad partisan conspiracies where none likely exist.

In fairness to Mr. Jay Carney

The Defining Moment
[Read the article: Anatomy of Beltway conventional wisdom]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]the actual begining was when Commander Codpiece and Shooter made an off hand comment while they thought the microphone was off:
"There's Adam Clymer -- major league asshole -- from the New York Times," Bush said.
"Yeah, big time," returned Cheney.
(http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2000/09/05/politics/main230529.shtml)
The lapdog 500 ignored it after a day, while constantly obsessing over the most trivial sh*t related to President Al Gore. It was at this point that I realized the Media Whores where going to give the R's a free pass.

Maria's hope
My friend, a consultant for progressive causes, may have died at 52 because she lacked health insurance. The Democrats she worked so hard to return to power owe her one.
