Drudge: No News Today on Charges
Should be a good day for leaked news then.
Remember how Clinton used to play the game of high expectations with the press. Then when someone got a slap on the wrist, it was insignificant and old news within 24 hours. How that totally demoralized the right, who bought into the high expectations game.
I can't help wondering if Bush/Rove haven't taken a page out of the Clinton playbook in this matter. What if Rove/Libby are not indicted, but instead just given a slap on the wrist. The left would go absolutely bonkers. Chrissy Matthews would have spittle all over his chin.
You're right. For all we know, Rove's attorneys could be the ones responsible for the leaks about who will be indicted, just to yank the chain of the press.
LOL........... Drudge actually has this up as a head line?......
Yeah... so did the Daily Worker.
But not as tasty as spotted owl.
Too stringy...........needs marinate for 3 days.......
He's scrambling. It was reported the FBI has been out all week interviewing Dame Plame's neighbors.
Only a fool would believe Rove's operation wasn't behind some of the leaks.
In other news, Joe Wilson and his wife Val went to Pier One and bought 27 mirrors so they could gaze at themselves from every corner in their townhouse.
Oh no...not the infamous "senior administration officials" again! ; )
I wonder what Chris Matthews's topic will be tonite?
He always has spittle all over his chin.
Your comments about Clinton's high expect(or)ations game are well-founded. However, the same game doesn't work for the right because the media are not compliant, and are generally populated with hyperactive cretins like matthews who cannot on their best days engender anything close to high expectations.
Matthews is the lowest order of tv personality because he promotes his own integrity ceaselessy while possessing absolutely none.
I love your # 4!!!
And while nothing is happening....again, let's review what happened to Henry Cisneros, Clinton's Sec of Housing.
_________________________________________________________
"The Cisneros investigation (into him lying about paying hush money to his Mistress Medlar), continued for three and a half years. In December, 1997, he was indicted on 18 counts of conspiracy, giving false statements and obstruction of Justice.
In September, 1999, Cisneros negotiated a plea agreement under which he pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor count of lying to the FBI and was fined $10,000.
He did not receive jail time or probation. He was pardoned by President Bill Clinton in January 2001. The independent counsel investigation continued after the pardon. In May 2005, Senator Dorgan (D-ND) proposed ending funding for the investigation; negotiators refused to include the provision in a bill funding military operations in Afghanistan. The funding at that point for the investigation totaled $21 million.
According to a New York Daily News report on October 3, 2005, "lawyers are fighting to suppress a potentially embarrassing final report from the probe that found Housing Secretary Henry Cisneros lied to the FBI about paying $250,000 in hush money to his ex-mistress. ... Lawyers at the Washington firm Williams and Connolly who work for Cisneros and both Clintons have argued to judges overseeing the case that allegations of illegal activity, for which no charges were filed, should be snipped before the report is made public."
Flash...Linkinpunk nearly outs self; field narrowed to two: 
I just calls 'em like I sees 'em.
I'd forgotten about Cisneros. Compare that stink-bomb with all the "mighta" "coulda" "allegified" smoke and mirrors going about Rove and it seems ridiculous.
