The Plame Game, the last refuge of a Democrat. I would love to be the guy who crosses Wilson on the stand. "Mr Wilson, you have admitted drug use. Were you stoned when you concocted the plan to out your wife?"

BTTT

I never could buy the argument that Brown had been shot and then the plane crashed. As you say, the assassin would have been killed in the crash as well and if there was a crash arranged there's no reason to shoot Brown. Of course, that assumes that the crash was arranged somehow.

Were reports at the time that the plane was on IFR and following a beacon to the airport, but they were well off course even so, accurate? I remember speculation that the airport beacon was tampered with or the instruments on the plane might have been to intentionally throw them off course?

[OldFriend]

Oh, there is going to be hell to pay when these reporters are called to testify UNDER OATH.

[Peach]

Email them after November... they'll be looking for 'answers' then.

Oh, definitely. After the November '04 election, the economy did a miracle come around and the media stopped downplaying the jobs numbers.

[snugs]

I bet he does not look as good in this as these 2 gentlemen do

[Morgan in Denver]

These people just don't THINK!

How easy it is to forget how many indictments and convictions were ongoing during the Clinton years. The left has 'one' indictment today and one would think this is the worst it's ever been.

[OldFriend]

$50 an hour for an entire season to pick lettuce in Arizona.

Doubtful there are many Americans who would survive the 100 plus temperatures for hours on end, days on end.

C-span radio online now airing MTP.

And then there is this. More really good data that just got spiked as fast as the Junk Media could figure our how to drop it. Anyone on our side shouting it? NO, of course not. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,190942,00.html Economy Adds 211,000 Jobs in March; Unemployment Rate at 4 1/2 Year Low Friday, April 07, 2006 WASHINGTON — Employers added 211,000 jobs in a springtime hiring burst that benefited almost all sectors of the economy and lowered the national unemploment rate to 4.7 percent.

The latest snapshot, released by the Labor Department on Friday, suggested that an accelerating economic expansion is putting companies in the hiring mood, brightening prospects for job seekers.

Hiring gains were fairly widespread. Construction, retailers, financial activities, education and health care, and government were among the sectors posting payroll gains. That help to blunt job losses in manufacturing and in the transportation industries.

Snip....

[Morgan in Denver]

Yeah, but it must be chump change for Senator McCain. He gets more than that from just one of the Indian tribes who are paying him off.

[cardinal4]

Oh, definitely. After the November '04 election, the economy did a miracle come around and the media stopped downplaying the jobs numbers

See my earlier post about Kerry saying that low paying factory jobs should count against the low unemployment figures, then turned around and says that we need to prevent them from being shipped off to Mexico!

[snugs]

No problem it just surprised me that you referred especially to catholics.

[MNJohnnie]

Mr Wilson, WHO sent you to Niger?

[OldFriend]

Murtha's plan was to redeploy to Okinawa. The citizens there want us to leave. No doubt they would not be thrilled to see another 100,000 troops arrive.

[OldFriend]

Those guys are stealing my post from yesterday...depends, hemorroid meds....etc.

When they were in HS, my sons worked summers on a truck farm picking tomatoes in the July sun, making much less than $50 per hr. I was proud of them for being willing to do so. My husband told them that no matter what they did in the future, it would be easier than that.

They learned the value of hard physical work and respect for farmers. Now, w/college degrees, they both hold responsible positions involving computers.

[JerseyDvl]

If the illegals weren't here breaking the law and driving down wages then Americans would be getting paid more to do this work.
And yes, I would pay more for my lettuce.

[cardinal4]

"Mr Wilson, given your propensity to pander to the media, why shouldnt we infer you outed your wife to pimp your screed, er, book?"

[MNJohnnie]

Mr Wilson, isn't it true the DNC sent you to Niger and this whole thing is nothing more then a partisan political stunt designed to subvert the elected Goverment's policy?
