For Slick Willy it was Mood Lights and a good Cigar :-)
I have a gut feeling some bigwig in the MSM lied under oath to the Grand Jury
Yes, sounds like that is the situation.
Covering for one of their own MSM folks.
They sure wouldn't got that far for a Bush Pol.
If Cooper or Miller had anything on the Bush administration in early 2004, they would have dropped the bomb on President Bush 3 days before the election. IMHO they are covering for one of their own or a Democrat ......PERIOD, Mark my words, I am no Summer Coon when it comes to how these leftists operate. THEY ARE COVERING FOR ONE OF THEIR OWN
Cause Cooper works for Time, Miller works for the NYT's
Oh great! Sounds like it was well received. Be sure to let us know if we don't catch it when you do.
As Mullah Omar says, "I'll keep my eye out for it" :-)
But Cooper .. there is no doubt in my mind that he is covering for someone ... and it ain't anyone fromt eh Bush Camp
got that far=gone that far

The quality of the reporting on the Valerie Plame/Judith Miller matter has been abysmal. Here are two examples.
This Associated Press article is by Pete Yost. For the most part, it is a straightforward account of Judith Miller's appearance in court today. But note Yost's account of the Plame affair that forms the background of the subpoena on Miller:
Plame's name was disclosed in a column by Robert Novak days after her husband, former Ambassador Joseph Wilson, questioned part of President Bush's justification for invading Iraq. Wilson was sent to Africa by the Bush administration to investigate an intelligence claim that Saddam Hussein may have purchased yellowcake uranium from Niger in the late 1990s for use in nuclear weapons. Wilson said he could not verify the claim and accused the administration for manipulating the intelligence to "exaggerate the Iraqi threat."
This is just wrong, as we have pointed out repeatedly, most recently here. It isn't true that Wilson "said he could not verify the claim." What actually happened, according to the report of the Senate Intelligence Committee, was that Wilson returned from Niger and reported to the CIA that Niger's former Prime Minister had confirmed that in 1999, an emissary from Saddam Hussein made an overture that the Prime Minister interpreted as an attempt to buy uranium. (The claim that was made about Niger was that Iraq tried to buy uranium there, not that it succeeded.) Six months later, Wilson lied about his mission to Niger in an op-ed in the New York Times that attacked President Bush. Wilson misrepresented what he learned in Niger, and what he told the CIA.
None of this is hard to figure out; it was all widely reported when the Intelligence Committee's report was issued in July 2004. There is no excuse for an AP reporter not knowing these basic facts.
Even more egregious, though perhaps less surprising, is Robert Kuttner's column in today's Boston Globe. Kuttner, an editor of The American Prospect, is a lefty, so his anti-Bush prejudice is no secret. Kuttner not only gets the facts wrong, he offers a conspiracy theory that makes no sense. Kuttner retails the myth of the heroic Joe Wilson, adding some embellishments of his own:........
LOL!
I believe Joe Wilson was sent to Niger by the Nonproliferation Dept of the CIA so he could claim he was investigating a KNOWN bogus document in order to sabotage the State Departments Report to the U.N. on Iraq's WND's.
Colin Powell nor President Bush ever mentioned Niger, in fact Colin Powell never even mentioned Yellow Cake Uranium in his presentation, but it was the U.N.'s Weapons inspector Albehradai (sp?) who dismissed Powell's claims with a document that was a known bogus document purchased by our Embassy in Italy.
The real scandal is who put the bogus document into the State Dept Report and how it was connected to Joe Wilson's trip to Niger. This is what the Special Prosecutor is investigating.... VAST LEFT WING CONSPIRACY!!!

That person would be in a world of trouble
These pictures are so great Gretchen. I especially loved the repeat of the ones of Condi. I bet that guy from France was in heaven having somebody to talk to who could speak french .. LOL!
Yes, 1776 by David McCullough would be very suitable for a 13 year old.
The only off-color things I remember are the mention of prostitutes and an adulterous affair of one of the British generals. But there weren't any of the lascivious details you find in modern novels.
But I really don't remember the author using foul language. Although he mentioned it was used, he wasn't specific.
It is about war, and some of that is gritty. But boys that age should be learning about that sort of thing by 13, IMO.
We just sent it to my husband's grandson, who is reading at the 11th grade level, but is 11. And I also sent it to my cousin's son who is almost 11 and homeschooled.
That's amusing. Thanks for the chuckle.
I just have to comment on this picture. When I saw the look on W's face it reminded me of my dad. When ever we were all together, he had a loving look of pride and always said, "My girls" so sweetly.
W just looks so proud of "his girls".
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MR. PRESIDENT!
