Timmy, Timmy, Timmy…
Didn’t ‘Ol Russ teach you that only the stupid fish bites at the shimmering lure?
And you definitely bite, Timmy!
Now, go home, and have ‘Ol Russ take you fishing. You know, the kind of fishing you did in the Clinton years.
Edward R. Murrow wouldn’t pee on Timmy even if Timmy were on fire…

Saturday night massacre scenario.

Along with at least two buses bearing down on him in the form of Hookergate and Torturegate the big Goose is then sounded out about remote piloting a global hawk into a big old jet airliner flying from Chi to shining sea.
Cofer Black was tasked with wet work using Predator drones and hellfire missiles so killing an American or three is not beyond them. If the Prez can do what he wants then why wouldn’t he want to save his ‘ brain’ from the Domoclean scalpel of our man Fitz?
Seriously they are running out of time - there is less than a week between them and the Hindenburg disaster redux. The Goose balked so they have to find a replacement killer - one trained to take orders. Stand by for some more plane murder.

And Cheney came out of his bunker this week to wag another dog-they are running out of options.

WaPo seems to be backing Big Tim’s story. According to the WaPo story, “In what was described as a difficult meeting in April with Negroponte, Goss was told to prepare to leave by May, according to several officials with knowledge of the conversation.”

The MSM has the upper hand in helping shape the court of public opinion I’m afraid. I’ve had the fortune (or misfortune depending on the way you want to look at it) to go back to full time work in the last 2 weeks and can probably sum up what the average Joe has been exposed to regarding this case. The big impact hitting the wire today after the hearing was Joe Wilson will be challenged, team Libby will expose him as a habitual liar. That’s big and pretty damaging, unfortunately it will leave a mark.
I agree that the charges against Libby are perjury and obstruction but still, we need to find out who these people are and what they are willing to testify to.
We need to understand (and the MSM needs to report) the motivation behind the testimony.
I’m not gonna lie down peacefully and let these people go on the stand just on the assumption that what they’re saying is the truth and I think most folks would agree.
That’s just not right and should be called on.

Of all of the twists and turns of the Plame saga, one of the most interesting, when all is said and done, will be the role that Timmeh played in all of this.

I’m always EPUing myself & I’m on slowbrowser/dialup. Does anyone know who these “corrupt contractors” are? That term has a –looking over my shoulder– certain cache where I come from.
Also I wonder what other “lawmakers” were involved. Seems like there was some heavy male bonding going on: cards, babes for hire, and business.
Or maybe I am just letting my imagination go wild.

I think Walsingham had neocon-esque dreams of making a claim on the French crown. He was a fanatical protestant. The wars of religion were horrific. He had been traumatized by the St. B. Day massacre. His plan to marry EIR to one of the Valois had failed. Henri III was the last of that branch of the Valois. The crown was up for grabs. Elizabeth’s claim would be exactly the same as Henry V’s (and also the Yorkists to the English crown***) save the Salic law technicality which “was not devis-ed for the realm of France.”

Mary Stuart’s real crime was that her Valois connections were stronger. She lost her head, but Elizabeth and Cecil kept theirs till Walsingham died.

*** recited 3-4 times in the H6 plays.

Do you think he can handle it? Perhaps we had best carry the puns over to the next thread.
