If they don't, maybe JBS is right that they're all in it together.

Good guess, but in the meantime can we start a payback smear of Joe Wilson?

How about a scandal with his babysitter or something, lol.

... yup , its like an old western or war movie , when one guys says to his buddy , as they peer out into the darkness , "its too quiet out there , waaaay too quiet..."

I'd bet that whatever the NYTimes has on this tomorrow [and they MUST put at least something up the flagpole] , well , whatever it is , will be "dry toast" just some narrow reporting

... would be quite suprised if the article was more than 300 words , 10 paragraphs

we all know the MSM will try to act like this isn't anything worth the public's attention

so , a drum roll PuhLEEZZzzzz
(( either the drum roll ya hear at the circus , or the drum roll of a firing squad!!))

today , Tuesday September 5th

NYTimes , deadTree edition - - NOTHING!!

NYTimes.com [online] - - even more of NOTHING !!!!!

. . . I didn't think they'd play it this way , whoa , truly despicable

... however , using the [NYTimes'] internal search for their filed stories and Op/Ed's , there are 76 published,plus John W. Dean's review of Uncle Joe's book The Politics of Truth , making 77 given for my search of Wilson Plame Libby

... the last one[?] July 16th '06 , Neil A. Lewis' The Basics: Can White House Officials Be Sued?

... the first one[?] Oct. 7th '03 , Elisabeth Bumiller's Bush Toughens His Support Of Investigation Into Leak

along the way , David Johnston and Richard W. Stevenson had the highest number published , [28 or 29] some solo , some collaborations

. . . Notables & Quotables in the list: Frank Rich , David Carr , Eric Lichtblau , Adam Liptak , Anne E. Kornblut , Michael Janofsky , Jacques Steinberg , Carl Hulse , David Sanger , Scott Shane , Douglas Jehl , Katharine Q. Seelye , Lorne Manly , Janny Scott , Don Van Notta Jr. , and Clifford J. Levy [I might have missed someone]

why did I list them {????]

Because they shouldn't be allowed to "get off"

Because honest,truthful journalists "fess up" , if they won't and don't , people must be reminded that THEY ARE NOT HONEST
THEY ARE NOT TRUTHFUL
THEY ARE NOT JOURNALISTS

THESE PARTISAN HACKS HAVE PUT OUR LIVES IN JEOPARDY[my kids!!]

Yes, and the MSM have run this country for 40 years, and continue to do so.

They control our pols policy decisions, words, and elections, our culture, our education, our information, our history, our judiciary, our health, and our economy, our moods and opinions, they write the script for every national conversation.

They are political orgs that hire Dem hacks to run a 24/7 political campaign.

FR should be planning and plotting their destruction 24/7.

The Plame story was a complete success. It was used to beat the President down for a year.

From the media's perspective, it was a success because it gave them something to caterwaul about for two years. But for those who ginned up the story, it is a failure. They did not get the President defeated in 2004, they did not get the Vice President indicted, and most importantly, they did not get Karl Rove out of the White House or out of Republican political planning. Never forget that. This was the mother of all dirty tricks and it failed.

"The Plame story was a complete success. It was used to beat the President down for a year."

Three years.

And the fact that it was all a lie won't stop them from continuing with the smear.

Yep, the lie has been repeated thousands of times, the truth once. Do you think if someone attacked the Clinton's like that, they would get a free pass like the Plame/Wilson.

will chris matthews be back from vaction today and will he discuss this topic?
I say if he does, the facts will not deter him from still calling the President and ESPECIALLY Vice President Cheney dishonorable, not according to the evidence, according to THEM!!

They have to continue or the unspun facts will steamroll them. The retribution we get is that they look like total mendacious assholes as they spin. Along the way we also get to see any serious hope of a big book deal for Plame go pffft! And Powell and Armitage in particular look like disloyal backbiting villains.
