When are people going to stop holding their breath waiting for David Corn to start showing some semblance of judgment? The man doesn’t have any. Period. The last time Corn wrote any article worth reading was July 2003 when he reacted to Bob Novak’s column outting Plame. That was, of course, 2 1/2 years ago. Since then, he’s scorned political protests, aligned himself with Ledeen, and pranced prettily across the stage at C-Span. That’s it. The Nation should dump him and no one should be under any illusions about his cheap opportunism or his obvious self-aggrandizement.

I love this typo of Waas’- Freudian – we’re all hoping that Libby will prove as devastating to W as Liddy did to Nixon. Apt also in the sense that Libby is merely the reptilian brain of Liddy with better social skills and a nicer suit.

“Watergate burglar G. Gordon Liddy spoke of scheming to have Anderson murdered, after it was suggested that the Nixon presidency would be well served by the disappearance of the columnist from the Washington scene. Fortunately, cooler heads prevailed and Libby was told to stand down. “

Oh, I forgot to mention Corn’s other new pal, Adam Bellow, author of “In Praise of Nepotism.” Hey, you’d be pretty grateful too if you had a father named Saul! Corn is a despicable piece of shit.

Just a note on Corn’s new pals. Check it out at Pajamas. Michael Ledeen doesn’t raise children, he raises “patriots.” Back to the cornhole, David.

so let me get this straight

David Corn is THE guy universally acknowledged to have got the ball rolling on the criminal investigation into the exposure of Valerie Plame as a covert CIA operative, Firedoglake has become perhaps THE primary go-to blog for info on that investigation, and yet the commenters here spew venom and bile to bash Corn as if he’s Karl Rove’s evil twin brother?

reading the comments here bashing Corn is rather like listening to Joe Lieberman on Fox News criticizing Jack Murtha

KM – I missed that – interesting maybe slip

I was really touched by the Waas piece – it brought back memories of eagerly looking forward to each new Jack Anderson piece and great dinner time debates with my father.

Anybody else notice that Waas switches from “Liddy” to “Libby” in describing the plans to murder Jack Anderson? “Fortunately, cooler heads prevailed and Libby was told to stand down.” Freudian slip? ;)

Jim E. — Yes, and you have twenty years of “indepnednet” journalism in Washington, too, don’t forget.

mr corn, for your redemption we offer you up for a special mission: here’s a blue dress, there’s the oval office desk, get under it and do your lewinsky duty son…

As far as I am concerned you owe Jane a big, clear as can be, apology.

pettty, PETTY little man

jane and red are big girls…

seconding purvis – Ledeen is a prime mover behind the scenes of so many evils … from Mr. Iran Contra to Mr. let’s invade Syria, Lebanon and Iran too … and maybe Saudi Arabia … to maybe forger of the Niger Yellowcake documents – not someone a journalist who calls himself liberal should be dancing with

the willingness of liberal journalists to play wth the Faux boys shows a complete lack of understanding of the game that’s afoot – Faux uses them as cover for “fair and balanced” and allowing themselves to be used in this way is a form of validating the Faux brand

should we be supporting these folks simply because we have no voice in the MSM – I don’t think so

on the 70s – I was very active from ‘64 on and I’d disagree with the characterization of the left offered above – I also think we are in a completely different situation now – in the 70s we had a genuine opposition force – in the streets and in our thinking

today we barely have the beginnings of a political analysis – the “opposition” is so co-opted that we have to beg the Dems to what … oppose torture and disappearances? oppose massive corruption and election fraud? oppose a war of choice for the oil buddy’s of Cheney/Bush … this is ridiculous … today there is no left, there is barely a left-leaning middle and we have to be clear and start to demand – and be – real voices of truth and resistance

“Once he joined PJ’s, he just seemed sad and broken.”

He’s been with them, what, a month? Give me a break.

A guy who wrote “The Lies of George W. Bush” back when the president had a 70 percent approval rating deserves way more slack. Waaaay more.

I suggest you people head over to justoneminute.typepad.com/, read over the Plame related posts from the past several weeks, and tell me why Hamsher is so gushing in her respect for a right-winger like Tom Maguire. As good as Maguire is at finding interesting details in media reports, he is still a right-wing hack.

oops-sorry

Maybe he was a good starter-liberal, but I have stopped reading Corn. He seemed relevant when I started listening to Air America and discovered liberal Blogs, but once I found some sources of real info, he started seeming like the wanna-be David Brooks, and whiny to boot. Once he joined PJ’s, he just seemed sad and broken. Hey , a man’s gotta eat- but now he’s just one more dumbass to avoid.

Anastasia
Doesn’t seem like such a big deal? Do you know who these guys he’s running with are? Do you know anything about Adam Bellow and Michael Ledeen? I suggest you google them up.

I have mixed feelings about David Corn, I’ve admired his writing for years and am a bit surprised by this move.

Still without knowing what was in his mind or what he might have been told by Roger Simon, it seems a bit unfair to rake him over the coals just yet.

One of the reasons why the left disintegrated in the 70’s was the sniping and factionalism among ourselves. It was very easy to get labled “traitor or sellout” in those days.

While I’ve been known to be pretty hard on the New York Times, Sulzberger and Judith Miller, and Bob Woodward, they are media stars and very influential.

It’s sad if Corn made an error in judgement, but compared to someone like Woodward, it doesn’t seem like such a big deal to me.

siun — a-yup.

Karen Allen—

Tnx for the insight about Rove and Lott not being best buddies. I didn’t know that, and, well… this variable contributes all the more to the FristLott intrigue. And piques, profoundly, my interest in the matter.

The thought occurs to me, as a result of this new information brought forth by you, that perhaps, Trenty is banking on further and future dilution of Rove’s influence in the WH based, but not exclusively, upon the Fitz factor.

Am I spitting in the wind here?

As usual your sharp, rapier and wrench-like perceptions are compelling and on the nut here. A heartfelt Merry Christmas to you…and those you care about.

I just re-read some of Corn’s post that deal with the V. Novak situation; I’ve got to say, condemning him for this episode seems like a big over-reaction. Sure he was soft on a friend of his, But he DID tell us she was a friend.

I don’t have any idea as to his social proclivities, but if he’s frat-boyish, so what? He’s a good, interesting and conscious writer.

I’m a bit startled by the support for Corn some have expressed – and the “I’m not into media stories” comments. One of the key enabling factors for the BushCo anti-democracy has been the abdication by the media of their role. The constant delivery of the fear and terror message, the “it’s all different after 9/11″ meme, the acceptance of the election results in both 2000 and 2004 when there was clear evidence of election theft, the buying of the war in iraq lies … all these constant messages from the media have delayed the recognition by the majority of americans that the emperor has no clothes. And the guilty MSM includes the so-called “liberal” media like David Corn whose “reasonableness” is really a cover for going along with the brainwash. Corn stepped over every journalistic line in his VNovak stories and deserves to be called on it.

If we want genuine change, we have to stop settling for the liberal talking heads, tossing us a few crumbs and then heading off to eat filet mignon with the Bush Boys – just as we have to stop buying a Bush-lite Dem party with no message and no guts.

My typo was unintentional. Jeez.

Jim E. | 12.21.05 – 6:37 pm |
Jim,
Do you understand what an internal contradiction is? You evidently want people at FDL to reconsider their opinion of David Corn. I actually thought you made a good initial point, although I thought you made with it far too much theater and far too little tact. Then, you go and misspell Jane’s last name. At this point, I am still going to give you the benefit of the doubt, it was just a typo and not intentional. Even so, you just lost me, and I’m a “big tent” kind of guy. As far as I am concerned you owe Jane a big, clear as can be, apology.

Voting machine maker Diebold in trouble

SACRAMENTO, Dec. 21 (UPI) — The California secretary of state is ordering all of the electronic voting machines made by Diebold Electronic Systems to undergo outside testing.

The move comes after tests in Florida found the system susceptible to hackers and experts accuse it of violating federal voting standards, the Oakland Tribune reports.

California counties must update their voting systems by Jan. 1 to comply with state and federal law.

The testing Secretary of State Bruce McPherson has required of Diebold may take months.

One-third of California counties, including Los Angeles, and San Diego, were considering using Diebold for the 2006 elections.

Wired News reports Leon County, Fla., announced last week it would cut the contract with Diebold after a hacker easily got past security on the machines.

On Dec. 12, Diebold chairman and chief executive, Walden O’Dell, resigned amid the voting system problems and sagging stock ratings.

Mary –

On my way out the door to the dog park, but quick answer:

PDA & DFA are separate organizations but are “coordinating” in the sense that they don’t want to needlessly duplicate each other’s efforts or waste resources.

See ya. More later.

Meta–Yeah- apparently there’s an agreement for a six month extension- as Biden discussed on MSNBC tonight.

Senators want to go home.

I think I saw a news flash that Patriot Act just extended. Anyone else hear this? Ball is in W’s court?

Dangit – I also wanted to mention that I think the way Zogby and other pollsters are phrasing their questions is what is making the polling results so confusing.

Almost EVERYONE does think that the President/Executive branch needs to be able to spy.

Now, if they asked instead: Are you OK with suspending the Bill of Rights for however long it may take for some President, at some point, to decide the war on terror is over — the results would be very different. ;-)

For any blogger or soon to be blogger or wanna be blogger, if you don’t already know, rule number 1 is don’t screw with Wolcott.

MK8 – are PDA/DFA merged organizations or do they work together or are they each, independently taking a stab at wresting back some control in the part?

It has only been alluded to briefly, but a huge point in all the spying is that the “war on terror” isn’t going away. Every suspension or loss of rights ceded to that “war” status, is one that will be gone for good. This is not a two week curfew.

Mark Stein– “obsessed” posted about this Jason Leopold story a few threads back and asked: “The stickiest question for me is why a lawyer for someone with immunity is interested in talking to Jason Leopold. The mysteries about the leaks have become as much a part of the frustration as the mysteries about the crime itself.”

OT: Are the WaPo and NYT getting the same leak and not publishing it?
Any light you can shed on this would be appreciated.

karen allen wrote: “David Corn, has a website, DavidCorn.com, which allows for … no comments.”

Wrong. Every post allows for comments.

Yes, Corn took a dive for his friend Viveca. But Jane Hamster has “respect” for Tom Maquire’s Just One Minute. So everyone has their flaws.

David Corn, one of the better liberal writers out there, gets so much crap from the rightwingers (they blame him, not Novak, not the Bush White House for outing Plame), that I fail to see why Jane H piles on, too. She’s acting like someone who got dumped by her boyfriend.

Going after a milquetoast guy like Kristof I can see. But David Corn?

One of Jane’s best articles earlier in the week was about not stepping on the “brand,” and she made an analogy to being an actor/actress on a movie and doing the rounds and never criticizing the movie — it just isn’t done. I drew from that the corollary that you don’t criticize your co-actors, director, etc. either, for the same reason, even if you think the other actors are the pits.

So I’m confused about what this one is about, not knowing the actors and their histories as well as others seem to. As I see it, David Corn may not be one’s first choice for the person to be talking back on Fox every night, but if the choice is to have Corn or no one, is no one the better choice? Just asking.

punaise–waiting for punday.

goodnight and goodluck–Trent Lott went away as leader because Karl Rove didn’t like him and couldn’t control him. Rove handpicked his hunting buddy Frist because he knew Frist would do his bidding.

What Lott is doing now can be described by the old Southern phrase: he’s getting his licks in. He was stung by what happened to him, and now it’s payback time.

OLD thread ketchup.

I don’t know if GSD said it first, but I know s/he said it and I want to give it a thumbs up: “Don’t give me liberty, I’m afraid I’ll die” is the exact thing to throw in the cowards faces right now. !

On Padilla – here is my take and those who are more constitutional scholars/crim types can sort me out.

The Constitution does allow for habeas corpus to be suspended in a very narrow situtation.
“Section 9, Clause 2, of Article I of the United States Constitution : “The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it.”

Now, as I understand it, Padilla is a citizen, and he has been held by the military as an “enemy combatant” for several years under the Govt’s claim that it was dealing with a situation where public Safety required suspending the writ (based, apparently, on equating the declaration of the ‘war on terror’ with rebellion where there are citizen sympathizers).

For a citizen (unlike the Gitmo prisioners) the suspension of habeas corpus does NOT suspend the other amendments – including 4th, 5th, 6th – jury trial, etc. as long as civil courts are open and operating. So, Padilla’s attorneys had been pressing hard to have his trial proceed in civil courts and to convince the courts that, at a minimum, after a fairly short period of time “public safety” did not “require” suspension of his writ.

The government had claimed throughout that Padilla was not only guilty, but that they could not turn him over for a civilian trial because of many extremely serious terrorist ties that needed to be investigated and the vital information they still had to get from him, etc. They made sealed representations to the 4th Circuit about all those matter of overweaning national security.

So the 4th Circuit was ok with them holding Padilla and having the writ suspended, but the Court was never ok with him being tried by a Military tribunal; just suspending the writ. The Court believed that the govt had information linking Padilla to terrorist threats and you can see the Court pretty much assumed that, when tried, Padilla would be tried for crimes rising to the threat levels that the Govt had said existed and which were used to justify suspending the writ.

Now that the Govt has said it will only be trying him for matters unrelated to the “rebellion” and traitor and overweaning national security interest in preserving the public safety – the Court is say: WTH? (I’m and H, and not an F, person ;-) )

WHY did we suspend habeas corpus on this guy for YEARS if all he is guilty of is the matters that you are charging? If you had used those matters as the reason you needed us to suspend the writ, we would not have done so.

I also think that everyone is now scratching their head and wondering if some of the “information” the govt was using to justify holding him was illegally obtained and will not be able (at least, not without torture or other matters that may embarass the govt) be able to be used in a civil trial.

So the 4th Circuit is pissed. They ONLY suspended habeas corpus based on dire representations and now the govt is not proceeding on any of those representations, but is just doing a whiffle. So they are doing a couple of things.

First off – they are saying: Come to US again with some whiney ass story about how *important* things are and how much national security is at risk, and we may not believe you. You are teetering on that kind of loss of crediblity. (BTW – it also makes me wonder about ethics charges re: the govt lawyers in the case).

Second off – they are making sure that when this does go to the Supreme Court, the record now reflects the taint on crediblity of the representations the Government made as to the NEED to have the writ suspended.

Third – they are setting them up to have to lock in, with the Supreme Court, their need – which is going to make it very hard for them to try him in the civilian court for anything lesser. Which means – if the evidence supporting the underlying “big” claims is not admissible, or if there is a very awkward story relating to any of that evidence (rendition, torture, warrantless searches not based on exigencies, etc) it will have to come out.

That’s my long take on it.

Lobbyist Abramoff’s `Equal Money’ Went Mostly to Republicans
http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/…..8;refer=us

Jane, have you seen this diary over at kos?

It seems we’re seeing a lot more of Senator Trenty Lott, Republican from Mississippi lately. This boy, we might recall is the Dixiecrat dinosaur left over from the old Jim Crow days. He’s the one who was forced to step down as leader of the senate on the heels of his remarks praising good ol’ boy, and not incidentally, vehement, rabid racist, Strom Thurmond on his 100th. b’day bash in 2002. Lott has been appearing quite frequently lately before reporters and the MSM. And Senator Frist, Lotts replacement is nowhere to be seen. And word is that George Bush supports Lott in his quest to regain his leadership position in the Senate. Naturally. This boy Lott is one nasty piece of work.

I’ll say this about the Republicans, they’re nothing if not persistent and consistent in their pursuits. Wouldn’t be surprising to see Lott back at the senate helm, shortly after Frist resigns because of his legal and ethical difficulties. Heads up. Lott will be back. So many fronts on which to fight, FDLers.

punaise–don’t lock it in the cellar. Comic relief is always welcome!

Apologize if this has been posted before, but Maureen Dowd is hilarious today – good to see the “we gotta secretly spy on Amurkans to protect Amurkans” spin completely debunked – don’t know how many people actually read Maureen, though…

Here’s the first part:

The Squires of Surveillance by Maureen Dowd
The New York Times December 21, 2005

Dick and Rummy are holed up in the den of Rummy’s Chesapeake Bay retreat, Mount Misery, pawing through sheafs of transcripts of wiretapped telephone conversations, hunting for inside dope. Chinook helicopters patrol the skies above the red-brick waterfront mansion. Rummy loves the take-no-prisoners lineage of his $1.5 million getaway, built in the 19th century by Edward Covey, an evil slave owner.

Winter weekends by a crackling fire are cozy and conspiratorial, now that the two men have nearby spreads in St. Michaels, Md.
These squires of surveillance while away their evenings sipping from goblets of Glenlivet and perusing the illegally bugged phone conversations of any American they please. Getting in the holiday spirit, they’re mining data to revise their naughty and nice lists.

“Check this one out, Dick,” Rummy says excitedly. “I’ve been reading Jennifer Aniston’s conversations for the last six months now, and I gotta say, I don’t get what she sees in this guy Vince Vaughn. ‘Wedding Crashers’ was funny. They shot that here in this village, you know. But I don’t trust the guy. No way he’s going to give up lap dancers and be true. I just don’t want to see Jen get hurt again.”

Dick grunts. He’s deeply absorbed in the classified reports on the F.B.I. infiltration of a Vegan Community Project and a People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals protest against llama fur. He’s ruminating over a naked picture of Pamela Anderson emblazoned with the PETA slogan, “I’d rather go naked than wear fur.”

“Porter Goss tells me that Pam was shacking up with Mark McGrath – you know, he used to be with that band, Sugar Ray?” Rummy says. “Listen, Dick, we need to jawbone about this flapdoodle about our stateside spying operation that developed while you were on your whirlwind tour of American torture chambers in Iraq and Afghanistan.”

Dick interrupts, “More torture.”

http://www.topplebush.com/oped2405.shtml

Holy Moly. As I suggested was possible if the Fourth Circuit was really pissed, they’ve now rejected Bushco’s attempt to moot Padilla’s appeals of his enemy combatant detention by transferring him to police custody on lesser charges.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/
wp-dyn/content/article/2005/12/21/AR2005122101524.html?nav=rss_nation

The question to the government suggested an unusual level of anger with the executive branch by a very conservative court. That intuition was borne out by today’s opinion. Of course, an en banc panel or review by the Supremes could affirm Bushco’s power under the Patriotic Defense of the Homeland Act. That would be bad. But the conservatives on the bench are not all with the program. There is hope, even in the absence of any show of Democratic courage.

After all, in a nation of eunuchs, the man with one ball is king.

Sorry about that double post–Thanks for all your answers.

notjonathon –

Thanks! I responded down below.

We’re off to the dog park. I love dogs. They’re true, they’re sincere, they love to play their hearts out, fun, fun, fun, as they go run, run, run. I think I’d go to the dog park even if I didn’t have a dog, just for the sheer entertainment value.

Anyone, why so much animosity toward Corn? I’ve read him in The Nation, where he seams reasonable, but I don’t really pay attention to media issues (I should, of course).

What is your email address? The link on your site does not work properly. I wish to send you a reprint from another blog. About Tom DeLay.

punaise–great play on words!

Time to come to David Corn’s defense. He is one of the few liberal talking heads that has been fighting the good fight for many years. He isn’t perfect (Vivak, PJ media) but we don’t have that many effective liberal advocates that are regularly on the talking head circuit that we can afford to throw them overboard. I know that isn’t what was intended by this post or by Wolcott but sometimes these things get out of hand and snowball downhill. I wish we had more people like Corn who were out there fighting the rightwing noise machine.

come on. those cocktails don’t drink themselves.

Who is this Hugh Bris fellow, anyway?

“Follow the Law, not the leader”

San Francisco Chronicle editorial

http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/…..GALQR1.DTL

Me3–She was questioned by Fitzgerald once, then subpoenaed for a formal deposition. I think Fitzgeral subpoenaed TIME for documents. She told her boss on a Sunday, with the subpoena arriving on a Monday and the deposition taking place on a Tuesday, right? I guess she thought it would all blow over and her employer wouldn’t need to know until she knew the subpoena had been written. All of this, including the five drink meetings with Luskin while she was reporting on the very same topic.

MSNBC:

Whoa!!! 88% impeach vs. 8% did nothing wrong, almost 30,000 responses.

Hey you can’t win them all. There have been some hot threads lately, thanks to the Twin Avenging Angels. I’ll come back when there is something more interesting to read.

Viveca, who didn’t even tell her own employer about her personal role with Karl Rove’s attorney until she was about the speak with Fitzgerald a second time

She did not tell anyone until she was formally subpoenaed. David Corn went down defending her “honor”

My problem with David Corn is his closeness to the party circuit in D.C. His defense of Viveca Novak and her friendliness (like divulging that everyone at Time already knew Rove was the leaker and prompted rove to ‘fix’ his testimony) with Luskin, rove’s attorney. She should not have been talking about this with rove’s attorney at all – not even having lunch unless they were only going to talk about the weather.

Luskin had lunch with her to pump her for information about the Times’ newsroom. And it worked. And then Corn’s defense of her, to which there is little defense to be had, reeked of D.C.itis blindness.

To David Corn this is just another little rumble in the politcal alley. Not a fight for freedom in this country. Until he understands the real issues at stake, he is nothing by an insider with little perspective.

Impeachment Poll

Frank T in Mo–David Corn, has a website, DavidCorn.com, which allows for no contact and no comments. It’s all about David Corn.

On his website he wrote a series of flawed articles in which he crowed he knows former TIME magazine reporter Viveca Novak and her husband. He bragged that he plays basketball with her husband and finds him difficult to guard. Corn conveniently forgot to tell his readers that Viveca’s husband would soon be rewarded by Bush with a nomination to the FEC.

In all, Corn did an inaccurate admiring puff piece about Viveca, who didn’t even tell her own employer about her personal role with Karl Rove’s attorney until she was about the speak with Fitzgerald a second time, this time in a formal deposition, two days in advance of the deposition.

When Corn was criticized for his articles and for using Viveca’s husband as his only source, he hit back with arrogance.

That’s why Viveca is now a former TIME reporter. That’s it in a nutshell.

This thread is starting to resemble a gossip column- something I detest..

Check back later.

I posted a long comment at the end of the last thread for Mrs K8 (on Firefox and cookies) and on Heinlein for SFers.

But why pick on Corn so much? As much as I like FDL over virtually all other sites, there’s a more important job. Attack the administration instead.

I don’t get your respect for Tom Maguire. Tom Maguire fashions himself a mouthpiece for every White House affiliated defense attorney in all things Plame. TM — at least with Plame — stands for everything you claim to despise.

As long as you two kiss each others asses and link back and forth, I guess you can “respect” him. What, did David Corn fail to give you enough “respect”?

Anyone, why so much animosity toward Corn? I’ve read him in The Nation, where he seams reasonable, but I don’t really pay attention to media issues (I should, of course).

I don’t know, that was probably as strongly worded as I could have expected. Given his previous excuse for being abused by that gang of reactionary cranks, I would have thought he was using Arthur’s battle cry from The Tick: “Not in the face! Not in the face!”

I prefer the generic rejoinder: “Hey, Roger, four words for you: Scenes From a Mall!”

Hubris Sonic–By its very religious nature, a bris procedure would not be the topic of Christmas conversation, nor Fitzmas.

David Corn. Who knew?

Norske–He’s still listed at the Nation as their Washington editor.

David Corn still wears that little Phi Beta Kappa key as a tie tack. And he’s almost 50 years old! I wonder if he saved the tissue from his own bris.

Oh god…I hope he doesn’t show up in the Nation again. Shit, I’m gunna hafta dump my 25 year subscription.

Bygraves–I have lost respect for Corn. He is so caught up in his ego and was like a happy puppy when he wrote about Viveca. He writes for himself now, nothing else. He’s still so pleased that he was a Phi Beta Kappa.

LOL@iheartjane

David Corn writes shill for Satan himself. I have no idea what he stands for, what his politics are, or what he means… Fact is, neither does he. It’s sad to see him get fed into the Fascist meat machine for sausage consumption (keep a close watch on your pets folks)… But this is nothing more than a circus show for faux.

Oh my, this is laugh-out-loud funny as hell:

Election officials spooked by tampering in a test last week of Diebold optical-scan voting machines should be equally wary of optical-scan equipment produced by other manufacturers, according to a computer scientist who conducted the test.

Election officials in Florida’s Leon County, where the test occurred, promptly announced plans to drop Diebold machines in favor of optical-scan machines made by Election Systems & Software, or ES&S. But Hugh Thompson, an adjunct computer science professor at the Florida Institute of Technology who helped devise last week’s test, believes other systems could also be vulnerable.
