The most mind-blowing fact about this case is that right-wingers are such cro-magnon he-men that they believed that Joe Wilson would be embarassed if the public was misled to believe that his WIFE gave HIM a job.

Oh, grab the fainting chair, a MAN was helped in his career by a WOMAN. GASP!!

Congratulations, Jane. And all the other FDL’ers. Your excellent and dogged reporting since this first broke has changed the news cycles in the USA and provided people who couldn’t otherwise keep abreast of this case with accurate info.

I know this is sooo EPU, but I was not here all day, had to catch the news from NPR at noon, stopped screaming so as not to be alarming the people in the vicinity. . .WOO HOO!!

Thank you to everyone who did the heavy lifting of the boats on the lake all this time. Jane, Christy, Marcy, Pach, Swopa, TRex, eriposte, and all the rest, plus teh spouses and children–music (spin I’m in), laughter, and tears all the way. FDL is a treasure.

Thank you again.

Thank you to all for going beyond the call of duty.

Your passion is showing and that’s good.

Your posts answered all the questions, some I hadn’t even thought of.

Best of all regards.

I know it has to be satisfying to see justice prevail, but you omitted your comment at the end of your near identical post at Huffington Post. Who is going to keep Bush from pardoning Libby?

G W Bush has ignored the will of the people since November 2006. Lets be honest in that there are two ways to stop a pardon. One would be to find that Bush stole Ohio in 2004. If true, he would not be “the Decider” and would have no pardon power since January 2005. The other way is mean and ugly and may get me arrested. There is too much money and power behind GWB. We can only hope that an International Court will bring him and the other criminals to justice for their actions. Otherwise, it will be God’s responsibility to punish Mr. Bush and we know that will happen.

Great work and I hope you continue to recover from your illness.

My heart was pounding waiting for the verdict. I thought of all you firedoglakers and your total commitment to justice and for what the verdict would mean to our country. How sweet it is !!!

Thank you all who covered this trial for those of us who were interested in it. The MSM is now failing us as a nation and as a society. Of that I am convinced beyond a reasonable doubt. Thank Providence there are Americans still around willing to take up the slack.

I know this is EPU’ed here at the bottom of an old thread, but thank you again from the bottom of my heart.

Jane, you’re entitled to ventilate.

“Alinsky’s conclusion that the ‘ventilation’ of hostilities is healthy in certain situations is valid, but across-the-board ‘social catharsis’ cannot be prescribed.”
