NYT FRIDAY: Rove and Libby have been advised that they may be in serious legal jeopardy, but only this week has Fitzgerald begun to narrow the possible charges. The prosecutor has said he will not make up his mind about any charges until next week, government officials say... Developing...

Lawrence Litwin. Fired by Miers. Litwin was investigating Getec and Barnes. I lost my connection. Over and out.

Reporters have told a grand jury that two of the administration's most powerful officials — deputy White House chief of staff Karl Rove and I. Lewis Libby, Cheney's top adviser — discussed Plame with them. Whether they or anyone broke the law has yet to be determined by the special prosecutor looking into the matter.

No conflict of interest WHEN THEY WRITE THE STORIES, either!!!

[al_again]

Why the hell would he do that??? That would be the worst move possible. If they are indicted, they need to step aside. As this is Cheney's chief of staff, the VP might have to go as well.

The only way Bush salvages (assuming indictments are handed down) this is if he puts
Condi in at VP which would set her up nicely for the Republican nomination for 2008.

[Howlin]

Believe me, not as sick as I am of hearing that an alleged center-right GOP is spending more money that the most degenerate of Democrats. Not as sick as I am of seeing an alleged center-right government enact socialist policies, suck up to Arab terrorists, and cover up for years of Democrat malfeasance. Not as sick as I am of seeing Sandy Berger free. Not as sick as I am of illegal immigrants suing Americans in US courts and winning. Not as sick as I am of continuing to watch the lawsuit lottery many years after the promised tort reform. Not as sick as I am of seeing Norm Minetta still heading the TSA. Not as... etc. etc. etc.

Is that a macro? Because all of you use the same talking points over and over.

[thoughtomator]

I mean "special" as in "Special Olympics".

[thoughtomator]

It's called consistency.

[Howlin]

Graham say they will block Miers in the judiciary cvommittee if the White hlouse doesn't release documints for which Bush is claiming executive privilege.

Graham is two faced; I've seen him defend that very practice REPEATEDLY.

[RAldrich]

"I am tuning into Batchelor now."

I don't believe this. They are going back to the National Guard story, talking about Ben Barnes. This is John Batchelor's BIG BIG story?

[Howlin]

I mean "special" as in "Special Olympics".

Is that the best you're got? I've been called worse by friends, FGS.

All in all, a vacuous poster.

[jennyjenny]

The American public isn't paying any attention to Plumegate.

True enough. I haven't found anyone in my circle of friends or my family members that know anything about this story, never mind who the heck Karl Rove is. And when I ask them if they know who Scooter Libby is, they think I'm talking about a rap singer.

[Torie]

I have it back. Cronyism. Fired lottery director. He feels he was fired unfairly. Took money, but too the omerta oath. Do I John Fund feel that there is a smoking gun here? No, but there is smoke. The hearings will turn turn into the circus. Oh the horror. But the white house is not in mortal danger, says Fund. Oh what a relief. Corsi again. Completely unnecessay. The country does not need to revisit all of this. Garbage, garbage, garbage, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing. Fund has sunk to a zero minus on the Torie scale. Embarrassing, very embarrasssing.

[Howlin]

I can hardly believe this myself.

Remember one thing: the GOP staffers RUN this committee.

[thoughtomator]

I got a good laugh out of it.

All in all, a vacuous poster.

You don't need to sign your posts!

[puroresu]

Yep! Ken Starr was smeared by the Democrats from dusk till dawn just for doing the job he was appointed to do. But the White House is silent about a partisan hack like Ronnie Earle.

[rightinthemiddle]

You know, it's not so hard to make a difference. I've met W. twice (he is a conservative), talked with Roy Blount on numerous occasion, talked with my governor a few times. Actually got an e-mail back from Rove.

You have to stay ENGAGED. Push from the inside, not the outside. W has more that three years to address spending, illegals AND more on the SCOTUS. I've made my opinion known without withdrawing my support.

My enemies are not on this board. They are on TV, in the schools and college campuses, and in the minority in government. They're over at DU.

[small voice in the wilderness]

No. Nobody who gives a rip or can make a difference hears you.

I tell you, I am LMAO at your response! Short, sweet, and to the point. LMAO, truly!

[WVNan]

Agreed. That is the thing that I believe frustrates conservatives the most. We need more people in D.C. who are willing to put up a fight for what is right. Enough of the "uniting" foolishment.

[Howlin]

That's good advice; sometimes they, too, seem "stuck on stupid."

[NeoCaveman]

Remember one thing: the GOP staffers RUN this committee.

And the staffers, by and large, ain't happy, is that correct? It's what I've heard.

[Indy Pendance]

And you expect all that solved in 5 years when the dems took almost 70 years destroying it? It's going to take a lot longer than 5 years or 6 years or 8 years to fix those messes created over decades. This is just the beginning, the start of the conservative movement. It's not going to happen in one or two presidential terms, it's going to take decades to swing our country, and our beliefs back to the original intent. Our founding fathers were brilliant in the fact that they purposely made changes a long process, to prevent any kind of dictator or king from usurping our rights.
