He’s not married. Would his 23 year old live-in girlfriend do? : )

How do you folks find this stuff out? Not that I care, but now that I know he is even more my Hero.

He’s twice her age! what would they have to talk about? uh, oh, never mind.

The reason is simply this: there are plenty of reasons to get all huffy-duffy about things, but it’s just not nice to send girls to jail, OK?

The Repubs like to push Clinton on the Dems to make us rebel against her, because they pushed her on us. At the same time, they spend hours and hours trying to trash her. Their reverse psychology will blowback in their faces one way or another.

We saw that happen in NY when Clinton’s slimy opponent (Lazlo?) went after her in too obvious a way. A visible blowback — he was toast thereafter.

Woohoo! Keith Olbermann!

K.O. does a kayo! He said — nearly shouted — the word IMPEACHMENT.

Why isn’t Harriet Miers in jail?

Because the Dems know that if they put a woman, any woman, in jail, it’ll be used against them.

Just yesterday, Chris Matthews called Judy Miller(!) a hero(!!!).

If the press could morph this week’s Republican obstruction into a Democratic filibuster (and they did), just imagine how they’d glorify poor, poor, pitiful Harriet.

Or maybe I’m just confusing him with some Psycho relative of his?

Which may explain why Judge Bates is covering for the Republican Psychos in the White House, Republican Psychos who didn’t think twice about disclosing the top-secret covert identity of a career CIA officer, who was responsible for protecting our nation, and our nation’s children, from the threat of other Psychos getting their hands on nukes or other WMD.

Yep, Psycho-loving Judge Bates has done a great, great service for the criminal Psychos in the Bush administration, but has done a grave, grave disservice to our nation.

On June 15, investigators from both committees interviewed Pittsburgh’s U.S. Attorney, Mary Beth Buchanan, for six hours.

Though her testimony has not been made public, it is referred to in a footnote of the letter sent to Mr. Gonzales. In it, Ms. Buchanan told investigators that she has only prosecuted Democratic officeholders.

“Yet U.S. Attorney Buchanan has not brought charges against at least two Republican officials who, like Dr. Wecht, are alleged to have misused their office staff,” the letter states.

I am going to leave soon to play racquetball, so I will answer, firm in the knowledge that this conversation will not hijack the thread. Of course you are correct that mediation, compromise, forgiveness and talking about the differences is the best. Yes, there are two gorgeous children involved.

When I was a lawyer, if someone came in and wanted a divorce, I would say (if it was true) that I didn’t have time, but that if they brought in the spouse, I would sit down with both of them and in an hour tell them exactly how it was going to turn out, crank out a no-faulty kind of thing, and send them on their way. If they wanted to fight, they had to take it elsewhere.

My wife’s lawyer is doing the opposite. She is fanning the flames of discord. She opposes things without talking to my wife, and then the judge orders them anyway. To make matters worse, she used to be my office mate. In that capacity she was privy to some aspects of my private life — nothing illegal; nothing that Bill Clinton hasn’t done — that I am not nearly proud of. She took the liberty of laying them all out for my ex-2-be, guaranteeing that there would be no settlement or compromise. For what it is worth, the conduct in question was 10 plus years ago.

She will get attorney fees, money that my wife would otherwise spend on my children. I have always defended lawyers when I hear lawyer jokes, etc. However, I hereby, officially and for all time, exempt her from my defense of lawyers. She is the very thing that gives lawyers a bad name. Plus, she is a dope.

Wish me luck in racquetball.

If I had any power I would make it a law that couples have to go through 10 mediation sessions before marriage and 10 to get out. Or something like that.

I bet the divorce rate would go down as well as marriages.

Off to racquetball. Goodbye for now.

Sorry to go off topic. But I am also sorry Big Mitch.. divorce can be tough. Mediation, compromise, forgiveness and talking about the differences is always best(especially if kids are involved) but not always possible.
