CH; “If Scooter Libby goes to jail, it will be because he made a telephone call to Tim Russert and because Tim Russert has a different recollection of the conversation”….

Please tell me you’re not advising people to ignore revelations of this import!

No, I’m saying that I see those revelations poisoning the ensuing discussion.

I disagree, they are much worse, we don’t know or suspect half of what these criminals have done.

This may surprise you but I agree. I fully expect that there is much more we don’t know yet. But what I’m trying to say is I think this whole topic has become kind of poisonous. It affects us all.

I’m with you on that one. There some deep cultural things moving in American society, and they look good rather than as bad as the current situation would lead one to believe.

Thanks. I posted upthread some thoughts on Cheney as sociopath and I also wondered out loud if the latest revelations didn’t amount to a coup d’état. Which is really just speculation on my part. So…. I guess that I’m not immune either. But… You can’t let these things get to you, that’s all. Life goes on, it always does.

hey guys. please be a little careful with the block-quoting. my comment was in reference to happynews that Sen. Tim Johnson is apparently recovered enough to return to the Senate.

hmmmm

And that’s what I was responding to. sorry about the clumsiness. I do hope that it was a recent clip I was seeing. He looked good, and I certainly hope that he is soon able to return to the Senate soonest.

sorry jayt. i looked back there, & it might have been a server hiccup that caused it. at least that’s what mods called it when GrandmaJ was shocked to see a bogus comment float in out of the ethers under her name yesterday. weird. heh.

Really happy news about Johnson. I hope he stays healthy. What a scare! He was extremely fortunate they got him to specialist PDQ, I guess.

“I despise that reference. This term has been deliberately used by racists such as Rush Limbaugh. This is a classic example of “Stereotype Threat”, used against Obama.

Suck it Up! This decidedly Unmagic Negro says he deserves it.

Obama’s a tool.

WAKE UP!
