It's pretty scary when a journalist, or blogger, or any private citizen can prompt members of Congress to call for a criminal investigation just for being pro-Bush.
This goes along with your earlier thread.
The amazing thing is that people are able to right this kind of stuff without laughing themselves to death.
Is this abuse of power?
"And just who let Hillary have 900 FBI files?" she was later heard to ask?

Scary, but not surprising....
We now know that 'Jeff Gannon' had access to classified CIA documents that contained the identity of undercover CIA operative Valerie Plame.
Maybe it's my public skool edumaction, but how do they "know" this? Wouldn't the identity of an undercover CIA Op be held in a secret document?

Memo to Louise: You're being used. But you probably already know that.
Oh well, if Reparations John is involved in asking for the investigation you know this is a serious issue that needs to see the light of day. Someone should tell Conyers that the money spent on a special prosecutor will not be available to pay reparations.
"This matter is growing more serious by the day. We now know that 'Jeff Gannon' had access to classified CIA documents that contained the identity of undercover CIA operative Valerie Plame. This is more than an issue of media manipulation by the White House... this is now an issue of national security," said Rep. Slaughter.
Stop it, Louise, you're killin' me!! I'm laughing so hard I can't get my breath! Tune in and listen to Rush on Monday, Louise, because he is going to subject your crowd to a massive amount of ridicule. Rush always says that liberals are at their funniest when they are out of power and this really proves it.
It is pretty obvious to me that Democrats will use any method, any vehicle, any person, or any website to attack the President.
They are so full of hated for Bush!
Excuse me, but wasn't there a story about a guy, a democrat I think, that stuffed secret documents in his socks.
Wasn't there a First Lady, a democrat I think, who lost FBI documents on her political opponents, only to have them show up months later on a table top somewhere in the White House.
I guess some breaches of national security are more important than others. Best Regards Sergio
WHITE HOUSE SPOKESMAN: WHAT IS A REPORTER?
Thu Feb 10 2005 20:49:03 ET
White House spokesman Scott McClellan On Thursday challenged liberal media activists, who are currently feigning outrage over events surrounding "Jeff Gannon," to examine the definition of reporter in the new century.
"In this day and age, when you have a changing media, it's not an easy issue to decide or try to pick and choose who is a journalist. It gets into the issue of advocacy journalism," McClellan said.
"Where do you draw the line? There are a number of people who cross that line in the briefing room.
"There are a number of people in that room that express their points of view, and there are people in that room that represent traditional media, they represent talk radio, they're columnists, and they represent online news organizations."
Developing...
When Rep Slaughter is shown evidence that Joe Wilson (Plame's husband) was the source of the leak, the punishment will be what???
Is Gannon being used as a whipping boy to control who gets into Their Club (the Old Media)?
The Old Media smell blood in the water. I'm just wondering if they're the ones who dumped it in.
The explanation is simply .. desperation. They are totally out of power and they seek ANY AVENUE to try to look powerful again. The goal is to appear powerful in the public's eye.
Please write or call your congressperson and ask them what the hell they are doing about Slaughter's stupid call for an investigation. Don't allow your congressperson off the hook - they cannot be allowed to be cowed by these smarmy democrats. The fact she's from NEW YORK tells me a whole lot about why she launched the charge in the first place.
Good luck with that.
You have no clout.
Ms Slaughter needs a good hard screw. Sorry.
