BUSH CONTACTS OUTSIDE ATTORNEY IN LEAK CASE: ABC News' Kate Snow reports that President Bush has contacted an outside attorney in case over leak of name of CIA operative Valerie Plume, wife of former Ambassador Joseph Wilson...
But the investigation is looking into more leaks too.
We'll just keep pounding the online op-eds and man the phones like we always do when the media blow a non story like Abu Grahib completely out of proportion, except this time it will be to remind the media and the Left that Clinton had an attorney on retainer!
Intriguing ping!
If you throw out logic like this how will we ever whip ourselves into a frenzy?
Don't presidents often contract outside counsel in event of items like this?
Clinton hired that lawyer who worked for National Enquirer, as I recall.
Really?
Novak mentioned three people. The first was a "not a partisan gunslinger". Doesn't sound like him.
I was JUST there.
Didn't Clinton hire National Enquirer's lawyer as outside counsel?
I'm really getting quite sick of the media living in the 60's and 70's. If they aren't trying to refrain Vietnam, then they think it's Watergate. Geesh, don't they have any new ideas? For a "progressive" bunch, they are rather...."regressive".
Indeed. I think I'll wait until the entire story comes out before I do my chicken little imitation... :-)
But of course! The President made an historic speech today.
Remarks by the President at the United States Air Force Academy Graduation Ceremony (Transcript )
We couldn't have THAT on the front page tomorrow, now could we?
I am not perturbed, and I suggest everyone calm down. This is going to be the dirtiest election in history. The Rats are going to pull out all the stops, and I will not be surprised to see the "Bush's girlfriend had an abortion, Bush had an afffair, Bush still drinks, Bush renounces Christianity" pulled before this election is over.
We must stay calm and strong in the midst of all of this. Otherwise, we are letting the President down. We must NOT be "sunshine soldiers."
It didn't even make local news. It didn't make the high school newspaper.
Exactly. The 9-11 commission went down in flames as a partisan circus, Americans are either tired of or p*ssed off about still hearing about Abu Ghraib, things are slowly getting better in Iraq and the handover on June 30th is going to happen on schedule, the economy is getting healthier every day, oil prices will gradually decline. What's left?
Hell, Clinton was a one-man growth industry for defense lawyers.
On another issue, Rudy would probably strengthen the ticket, but then he wouldn't be available to run against the Hildabeast in 2006. I'd rather have him ready to slay the Beast.
Honestly! You'd think we are pratically catatonic, peeing on ourselves, and rocking back and forth wildly. It's gotta take more than this to scare us, fellow FReepers. Think about all the trials and tribulations we've endured. And we're gonna fold like cheap cardtables just because W. has contacted an outside attorney?? C'mon. Let's just stop. And think this through logically. And calmly.
This whole case was trumped up out of whole cloth, and it would not surprise me to see it get placed right back at the dims door step. All one has to do is consider the source. What BS.!!
