Weird that the word "seriousness" is used. Is he serious? Is this huge? Is he from the same planet as me?

Mathews wouldn't know current news if he read it in the morning news papers.

I mean, it seems so unnecessary to point out the lies in Matthews remarks. And yet...

The same Chris Matthews who was outraged when Republicans cited John F. Kennedy as an advocate of tax cuts.

He felt that since Kennedy was a Democrat, Republicans shouldn't be able to quote him to advance their agenda.

That's the quality of reasoned political analysis that one can expect from Matthews.

I swear he just makes this stuff up as he goes along.

Matthews is edging toward an SNL parody:

"I know for a fact that Bush leaked the information -- he told my wife ... Morgan Fairchild."

This story is just another MSM hamster wheel--

http://www.captainsquartersblog.com/mt/archives/006694.php

Still Crying Over The Lost Fitzmas

I understand how disappointing it was to the BDS sufferers
( - Let's Discuss Bush Derangement Syndrome Again-- )
that Fitzmas turned into Fizzlemas, but this report is just another non-story in a controversy full of them.

The New York Sun reported today that I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby has testified that he released information from a National Intelligence Estimate in 2003 to a reporter prior to its publication. Predictably, the media and the blogosphere has overreacted, proving once again that most people do not understand classified materials, unclassified materials, and the process used to classify documents...Austin Bay: "So what’s the story here? That someone who worked in the White House selectively passed properly declassified material to the press? That’s not a scandal; that’s Beltway business as usual...Power Line: "This is the same "scandal" the press tried to sell a few months ago. I wrote about it here...David Ensor at CNN:If the president decides to declassify information, he has that legal right. So, it's not about a law being broken here, and it's not about Valerie Plame-Wilson's name.

UPDATE: Once again, the President has the authority to declassify materials at his discretion, a point hammered home by the Washington Post as well:   Comments (43) 

'The media has one mode: "Get Bush."'

"Anyone who has ever worked in intelligence for the US government knows perfectly well that a President, any President, can declassify anything they wish for any reason. Any President can delegate declassification authority down to any level they wish, down to the most newly minted second lieutenant, if they wish, as well."

"Demagoguery, not journalism"

Why do we need bloggers to fill in the relevant legal details on news stories...The sudden press flap over Scooter Libby’s alleged “revelation” that President Bush declassified intelligence information related to Iraq is silly but all too predictable...Read the original to access the background links mentioned...(Via Instapundit)...Byron York concurs...More for the reading-comprehension-challenged in the peanut gallery - CNN's David EnsorComments (5) |

The Return of the Son of Plamegate

As usual when one of these stories comes out, my esteemed colleagues on the loony left email me gloating about how Bush is going DOWN this time, man! Usually a few obscenities thrown in for emotional impact.

Wish I had a dollar for every pumped-up soon-debunked half-baked pseudo-scandal they’ve gloated over.

For fun, I caught a few minutes of Hardball last night. Chrissy's top story was this silly "leak." He had "NBC WHite House Correspondent" (and fellow butt-boy) David Gregory on, and they were going back and forth on this, and I swear, I got so bored so fast I had to just turn it off. What the heck are they babbling about? Meanwhile, this "news" has nothing to do with Valerie Plame or the charges against Libby. This is all just a very very lame attempt at payback for the Kenneth Starr/Whitewater investigations. I couldn't help thinking while watching, who cares??? Does anyone care? About Plame? About any of this? The only people that care at all are the wingnut democrats in the media.

In support of his seemingly inflated 'grading,' Mathews argued that prior to the Iraq war, "the main argument that sold the most Americans in the political center . . . most people supported the war with Iraq for one reason. The belief that Saddam Hussein was developing nuclear weapons."

Gee Chris, in the early 90's, all I heard was "why didn't we take out Saddam?" I don't remember anybody caring if he had this or that, they just wanted the murderous butcher removed. But to liberals, the fact that Saddam signed surrender documents earned by our military's sacrifice means nothing in your self absorbed fantasy world. He is allowed to take pot shots at our planes without any repercussions. Good thing some people still believe in law and justice. Because the fantasy world of a liberal is in reality a world burning in anarchy, oppression, and chaos.

Matthews is a weasel and he and NBC are doing to themselves what others can not.

Let's let "approaching 10" be our reply whenever their status is ever referred to.

Doesn't Chrissie know they've hired Meredith Vierra to replace Katie? Methinks Chrissie is "auditioning" for the opening.

Matthews is certifiable. Something else that is probably related to what he picked up while on his safari.

This entire thing sounds Rovian.
They want to distract the media from reporting the actual news, the President's awful immigration proposal that's being worked on in the Senate.
Now the media has the entire weekend to whine over a non-story story about a case that's about an investigation that's investigating nothing.
By Monday, this would have run it's course and the Senate will be back trying to put lipstick on the pig of a proposal on immigration.
Great work, Karl. heh, heh, heh
