I’ve been EPU’d, but from the last thread, I’m in- order # 497164. If you have too many copies, give another one to Ed Case- he can use some inspiration.

You know what? I will let it go, obviously I have set my expectations way too high. I thought there just might be the chance that some one else could deliver the real deal and I guess I was wrong. I thought bait and switch was just the conservative MO, I was soooo wrong. Good luck.

When did I ever question pecuniary interests? You elevated that question just now to a guilt level. All I wanted to know was the truth. You can sit there and preach and then attack me me for just a simple question and ever single time the hypocrisy surfaces. You and Jane blast this administration for their lack of the truth and you protect your own little sources of reality. You have made it very clear to me you only care about your own asses. Oh, please believe us , isn’t that what you DON”T accept from the Administration. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander darling. Sorry you’re so thin skinned . Why do you demand the truth but you can’t deliver it? Lame, feeble and impotent , you must be ready for the national office you ridicule so ,much.

Scott Ely at 123 — You have my name. You have Jane’s. If that isn’t good enough for you — go elsewhere. If you hung out at this blog for longer than a day, you would understand that Pach has been a regular here since October of 2005, that a number of us know him personally, and that he has some very good reasons (none of which are your business, frankly) for not blabbing his own name around the internet if he doesn’t want to do so. And continuing to be a hothead only makes you look like a demanding jerk who only wants his way. Here’s what I will tell you: none of us, including Pach, has any pecuniary interest in the book sales whatsoever — every penny goes to the independent bookseller. The volunteers who will deliver the books to Congress will do so on their own time, being paid not one dime from us and paying for their own transportation. Let it go, Scott.

Should I sign a petition with a psuedonym? Should I send a letter to my congress man as The Fly-man? Should I send a copy to the media along with my faux family members? Oh that might be misleading, insincere or possibly disingenuous might it? Why can this blog demand non stop from the administration, transparency and the truth but I just ask one simple question and i get the GOP, Ken Melhman obfuscation, pay no attention to the man/ woman behind the curtain meme? Really if you can’t even tell me the name of the person writing the article why should I believe any of your intentions. You are hypocrits and you know it. I’m sorry no one else sees the principle in this.

^^^ HELP IMPEACH TODAY

Keep the pressure on Congress… Talking about impeachment wakes people up… They question, it’s a strong motivator to get people thinking. It also lets Congress know how intense the dissapproval is for this President… They seem to be a little slow on the uptake. So please:

1) Sign petitions if you have not done so
2) Send a letter to Congress (both Senators & House rep)
3) Send a copy to the media
4) Enlist friends and family to help, ask them to chip in time
5) Spread the link around, email it (with a request to forward) post it on a blog, or in the comments of a news story.

Help out!!!

Thanks :)

tom-chicago– bet his whole family has hired them to cook, clean and keep the gardens pristine for as far back as they have been “monied”. He keeps saying that the documents are forged and it is haaard for employers to recognize the forgeries. Everytime he mentions that, I think he is throwing a defense out to all his corporate buddies and his family, too.

Wonder who keeps Crawford tidy ??

long blurb at Salon.com:

Karl Rove, Jason Leopold and the hunt for the truth

We don’t know whether Karl Rove will be indicted today, tomorrow, later this week or never. But we do understand that there’s a distinction between Truthout’s Jason Leopold and the bloggers who’ve been writing about him, and that gives us at least one leg up on the folks at the Wall Street Journal.

…

Just two problems here: Leopold isn’t reporting on Plamegate as a blogger, and the blogosphere — or at least the part of it we respect — hasn’t taken anything like a “let’s see if this holds up” approach to his latest report. While some liberal bloggers jumped immediately on Leopold’s Rove “scoop” Saturday, many others looked at the story through more cautious eyes…

the additional pictures via Wonkette are worth it. This is when they drink the Kool-Aid
