Tweety said it great the other day: Who the hell misremembers something in detail that never happened to them? And the misrembered details being exactly those used by someone trying to cover up their actions. And as we know after today, there is evidence to show what a liar Libby is.

Telling you… NBC is in soo deep. They sure are lucky that the public trusts Bush and Cheney less than they do the reporters that cover (or should we say (cover up) the Administrations’ actions.

MSM?

This made it all the more puzzling.

Spurious – yours is my best comment of the day!!!

Ah well.

“The notes, and my subsequent e-mails, go on to indicate that Rove told me MATERIAL WAS GOING TO BE DECLASSIFIED in the coming days that would cast doubt on Wilson’s mission and his findings….”Don’t get too far out ahead on Wilson…I’ve already said too much”.

So what material was the WH trying to get declassified? Plame’s employment with the CIA…which really was the only item that Rove revealed to Cooper that was clearly “off-limits”!

Am I recalling correctly that most of these jurors are women? Will there be repercussions from repeatedly referring to Valerie Wilson as “the wife?” I understand that they’re trying to downplay her importance, but I know I certainly find it irritating when men refer to their own wives as “the wife”.

Agreed. Annoying as hell. Why doesn’t he just call her “the little lady” or “the ball and chain” and be done with it.

He might have another strategy in mind. Libby’s defense might include the confusion generated if/when the crucial information was listed in bits and pieces and sometimes obscure references.

For instance, Rove referred to her as “…Wilson’s wife is fair game” which I took to be a sign of Rove’s malicious intent.

I really think this would make a great cartoon but I can’t draw very well so if someone can, please do so and let me know.

Shrub (little bush) is standing at the pearly gates covered by a little leaf and looking sheepishly at St. Peter.
St peter tells him in a booming voice……
“Actually George I am the decider” he opens up the book of George’s life and starts to read the highlights

HMMM….Let’s see here George…

Lying seems to be one of your strong points… Check
Using God for your personal gain..Check
Responsible for at least 100,000 innocent deaths…..check
Peddling Fear for greed….Check
Copious drugs and drinking….Check
Blaming everyone but yourself….Check
Participating in smearing “the wife”…Check

Wow this list is one of the longest I’ve seen George and not one item on here is in your favor….I don’t think I need to see any more.

“And you thought it was hot in Texas when you were clearing brush….maybe that was the best thing you were doing to prepare you for the rest of your eternal life. At least you’ll enjoy it.”

Next….

Hmmm… Dick you have an even darker side than George…I hope you enjoy clearing brush as much as George. Good thing that void that was supposed to occupy your heart isn’t an issue in eternal damnation.

Next…

Can I call you Don….

And soon the whole gang was clearing brush…

This is the WORST defense since OJ.

Let’s hope this jury does a better job noticing that.

I’m wating for this from Wells:

“Your Honor, having presented no credible line of reasoning, and having exausted the witness list, the defense wishes to punt.” :)

Will the doctors have concocted the right combination of meds for him?

I will have one hand hovering over the mute button and one wrapped around a glass of something, but I will watch. This could be historic.

I can’t argue with a thing you’ve said. I may very well mute & put a paper bag over part of the screen.
Nancy Pelosi will be my focus – one of the best things to happen in Congress in a very very long time. ;->
