LOL. And yes, I can attest that he did, because 'he,'Finkelstein, is 'me,' governsleastgovernsbest!
I watch and report because I think it's worthwhile keeping track of what the MSM are up to.
Too true. I think there's something about the name "Scooter Libby" that makes MSM-types feel like real insiders when they pronounce it
Great point!
Unless Couric thought the notion had credibility she would never have raised it. Sneaking in qualifiers like "possibly" or "some say" is nothing more than a technique Katie uses to give herself some cover when expressing her own opinions.
I'm guessing you didn't see the actual interview. If you had, I don't think you'd have any doubt that she was expressing her personal viewpoint and making a very serious accusation.
I am well aware. Guess I should have put a sarcasm tag on my post. Thought it was obvious.
Sorry about that. I guess sarcasm sometimes gets lost in the cyberspace translation!
I'd like to turn Katie Couric over my knee and give her a good sound bottom-blistering spanking...and not just for the pleasure of having her squirming on my lap.
Can you hate Katie Couric and still think the Bush administration broke the law?
I am too damn Conservative to stand by this Presidnet any longer.
Never heard of Rockwell...good investment?
I like the President, but I do not know him personally. But in watching him he seems to extole virtues which I admire and he talks about things indicating a world view which I too have.
I, too, am discouraged as a conservative. I have told my wife that I am an anachronism stuck in a morally flexible time that I will never adapt to. I am more vocal about my conservative world view than most people I talk to. I guess I want to believe the President. But these are trying times if you are a conservative, I agree.
Anything you see from them at this point is conjecture. A simple reading of the statute in question would infer that, since Plame had not been covert for over five years, no crime could have been committed, along with other complicating factors. But we'll have to wait and see what comes from Fitzgerald.
I have felt there has been better analysis on Free Republic and it seemed to make sense, but the conventional MSM wisdom seems to be universal among those pundits who know they will look like assholes if they are as wrong as we here on FR think they are.
I have come to the conclusion that they don't care, because they play to a left-wing audience that is already the biggest bunch of a-holes on the planet.
So,....are they? And Why?
Because they cannot retain their political worldviews and simultaneously deal with the truth.
I have arrived about the same place you are. But my question is this. Let's you and me assume we are correct, and Couric,Matthews,et.al., are wrong and Fitzgerald does not indict Rove or Libby. They know they will appear to be stupid, illinformed, idiots to their base. We already know what they are, even if they are correct in their analysis, history has born that out. But, if they are wrong, and they have spent hours in conjecture on the airwaves about Rove and Libby, they will look like absolute idiots. I do think they care about that, don't you. I have not heard one person in the MSM cadre expound on the possibility of a Wilson, Plame, Miller, Russert, indictment, but it is repleat here on FR. Are we thinking wishfully do you think?
When a broadcast "personality" has to hit below the belt (think: Dan Rather) to gain national attention, we know they are singing their swan song.
Katie's next stop: Filling in for Martha's "Apprentice".
She is so o-v-e-r.
She'd like it way too much LOL.
Implying that he must indict somebody to justify his investigation.
As you know, no law was broken. The Moonbats at cBS are dreaming again because they know too.
You know Mark, I watch the show for much that same reasons as you do, but today I just couldn't stomach it. When Katie Colonoscopy started tag-teaming with that phony Matt Lauer I just had to change the channel today.
I predicted to myself this morning that it would be "ROVE, ROVE, ROVE...VALERIE PLAME...JUDITH MILLER, and what about IRAQ? BUSH INTROUBLE, KATRINA, IRAQ, CONSERVATIVE HATE MIER, BLAH,BLAH, BLAH. I just couldn't take it anymore.
Thanks for the report as always.
I like your reply the best!
Despite being a veteran Couric-watcher, I was truly shocked when Katie bared her fangs this morning, revealing the depth of her hatred of the Bush administration, suggesting that breaking the law is its SOP.
