"It may appear to be going 'nowhere'; but of course, it is 'somewhere' and your annoyance at this story - and most of us as well - gives testament to this story's presence. "

Supposed to read. . .'and your annoyance; and ours, at this story'.

Too late; and too late smart.

I do wish the media would 'give it up' and just give us the 'final' on this. But Bush will be announcing his SC Justice nomination soon. . .

It's extremely easy to do - I just copy and paste the html source from the original document. I did no html hand work.

Right click on the original page, and select "View Source". Find the html source for the part you want to post, and copy and paste into your FreeRepublic posting. Preview to be sure it made it across in usable fashion.

If you use Firefox, instead of Internet Explorer, you can highlight a portion of the original document, and then the right click menu will have a "View Selection Source" which just shows the html for the portion you highlighted, instead of the entire page's html source. For complex web pages such as that blog, it is worth downloading Firefox just to get that feature, and save having to read through the html of a large web page to find the chunk you need.

About the only hand work I usually have to do is to ensure that any images <img src=...> have their src URL converted to a full path, instead of what is common - a URL relative to that of the html page embedding them. The above post had no images of importance, so that didn't apply here.

I will take your word on this ;^) . . .really thought I would have to re-format the whole thing; appreciate the steps and will practice - tomorrow.

Have been wanting to learn more html; and just started bookmarking some sites. (Needless to say. . .I am now more motivated) - just changed recently from Dell to I Mac; so have quite a bit of learning ahead. . .That said, I miss my 'Free Cell'. Microsoft has the best version; nothing else compares. . but I digress (!)

Then they will be disappointed when they look like fools after the facts come out.

This is really interesting.

The media is not the final say on whether a crime was committed. Neither are political operatives and bloggers. The investigators are. The Bush white house is cooperating - no crazy privilege claims that I know of.

But again it takes a lot of chutzpah to report on Rove as the media is doing, and not mention this.

The first question to ask in this context for me is whether this fact would have been widely reported if the shoe were on the other foot - a Democrat president being covered by conservative media outlets. Of course it would.

And I sure would like to know who that reporter in jail is protecting. It ain't Rove.

The Democrats placed their faces in poop again. Throw them the bait and they jump right in with the Mainstream News.
Are they misinformed or just stupid?

They really are in the wilderness. Let's just assume the worst, and say that someone in the white house had a big mouth and crossed the line. I doubt it, but let's just go with it. Bush said if that's the case, it will be dealt with.

But that's not enough for the Democrats. They want to spin Rove telling a reporter when asked that Wilson was a blowhard and that his wife, not Cheney, sent him into outing an agent to blow her carefully constructed cover and putting her life in danger. How much cover is she under if her husband is investigating these claims and she's working in Langley?

So even assuming the worst, the Democrats take that ans spin some crazy tale. They always overplay their hand.

And try to undermine the war effort while are troops are in harm's way, remember.

This is not "loyal opposition." This is a smear.

And, while we're on the subject, what is the deal with the New York Times? One of the things about their mouth-breathing editorial this morning is that the editors of the Times know who Judith Miller's source was.

They already know the truth. Ms. Miller doesn't, after all, work in a vacuum. Presumably, her editors know who her source is. That's they way journalism works.

What's the definition of libel? Rove despite being a public figure just might have a shot at a libel case if its true that the NYT editors know Miller's sources and continue to print crap.

As long as Rove has told the truth he has nothing to worry about. It would be interesting to know if Wilson testified before the grand jury because he has been incredible.

"The media is not the final say on whether a crime was committed."

No; but this petition has been filed/ie Amici Brief, on behalf of twenty-eight media organizations/outlets, for determination by the US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit.

They had already filed this when they began their assault on Rove; that he had broken the law. . .a straw dog here, from the beginning.

But whatever. . .it is amazing; more to the point, it is a collective scandal of the Media for participating in the deliberate smearing of Karl Rove while attempting to undermine President Bush. . ..

And yes. . .would love to know who Miller is protecting; for sure; her source is not a Republican.

Probably protecting a 'covert agent' named Valerie. . .

"Rove despite being a public figure just might have a shot at a libel case if its true that the NYT editors know Miller's sources and continue to print crap."

I would think Rove would have a case against, more than a few here. . .and I wish he would do just that; and I wish as well, that the Administration had enough 'stomach' to go after Wilson/Plame et al. . .for treason.

But, of course. . .in the interest of bi-partisanship, neither, unfortuntely, will happen.

So far, he is the only one telling the truth here.

Great job!


Apparently, Judith Miller went to jail to protect one or more of the following choices: (take your choice)

Sources Judith Miller is protecting by going to jail:

1. Karl Rove
2. Dick Cheney
3. Colin Powell
4. Haliburton
5. Tom DeLay
6. GW
7. Laura Bush and her twin daughters
8. Bush's Doggie
9. _____________ (Fill in the blank with any Republican!)
10. All of the above
11. None of the above. Miller is protecting her real sources, Plame/Wilson and Plame's last CIA boss, Foley.
