I'm glad you do this dude, because i cannot watch those smug [epithets] canters.

Libby's really taking one for the team. God Bless You Lewis Libby wherever you are.

Good point. I recall the 2004 debate he moderated. Despite his friendly tone, his questions were blatantly biased to the Dem side.

>>>To claim, without citing a single damning fact, not only that this is going to hurt the Vice-President "very badly," but that the harm will extend to the Bush administration at large, smacks of a smear.<<<

Schieffer is, after all, Dan Rather's B..t-Buddy (smear intended); and Dan Rather was the Master Smearer until he got caught with the forged documents.

My mother-in-law believes everything he says is gospel. Probably because the only choice she has is ABC, MSNBC, CBS on her local cable.

So Bush calls for an investigation of the "leak" of Plame's name, orders all his people to cooperate forcing Libby to talk to the investigators, fires Libby when he's indicted, and the media still suggests he is trying to hide something?

Katie Couric asked Schieffer "How badly does this reflect on Mr. Cheney in your view?"

Schieffer: "Very badly, and it's hard to conclude otherwise."

That's okay let the Rats and their MSM friends lie and distort. Don't say anything mean-spirited against them. We don't want to be like them. Be nice. Show them and they will come over.

Hey! being a "good" conservative ain't bad. I feeeeeeeeeel so warm and nice.

As regards Mr. Schieffer of CBS News, which I never watch (or the others either), one has to wonder how someone could live so long and remain so ignorant. It truly is amazing.

Perhaps you got something here. He never should call for an investigation. Stupid move. He keeps playing these do goody games and gets bit in the end.

I know people like that also. Isn't it frustrating? And they can vote, too.

We need to stop prosecuting secondary crimes when we find that no primary crime was committed.

Federal prosecutors are pricks. They are those kids you despised in school, who ratted out every other kid to the teachers for the most minor infractions imaginable. Well, they have grown up, and they are Patrick Fitzgerald, Johnny Sutton and Mike Nifong.

I was thinking the same thing today. I was completely chagrined to find out recently that the class toady has now become a fed prosecutor; this kid was not too bright, I was surprised he'd even become a lawyer (Billy Mitchell law school in MN--noted school of absolutely no one).

He is the complete style you described: sycophant, canter, and generally a real dhead. He was on the debate team and was a real liability in competition. His mother was a real piece of work who dogged the coach about his placement (first up and forget it) I'm happy to note that I never crossed him. So I got that going for me -- which is nice.

The good lawyers are not going to waste their time working for the govt. The Fed prosecutorial staff (add Elliot Spitzer to your list) is a prime example of the peter principle.

'not only hurt Cheney; but the Administration. . .more questions on their plate than they can handle right now. . .'

All to say; the Demrat 'war room' has been working overtime for the past six years. . .and continues. Their efforts are tireless. . .and as always; without a 'moral justification' to sanction any of their efforts.

Can hear their mantra. . .It's the goal stupid - nothing else matters. . .

I watched Situation Room and Hairball coverage of this. Taped Olby but didn't have the stomach to watch it last night.

Different planet, different reality.

I watched our local Fox station, and they painted the most dire picture for the administration. Then they lied about this being the worse conviction for an administration since Watergate, of course the Clintoon's record wasn't mentioned.

After about 2 minutes of this liberal b$, I turned the tv off and went to bed.

Speaking of Media Bias. The MSM had one of their own moles on Libby's jury. More on the MSM's and Fitzy's juror plant, Denis Collins:

New Revelations from Former 'Wash Post' Reportor/Libby Juror
Editor & Publisher ^ | March 07, 2007 | Joe Strupp


Posted on 03/07/2007 7:40:14 AM PST by txradioguy


NEW YORK Denis Collins, the juror in the Libby/CIA leak case who delivered a post-verdict commentary for the press, spent about a decade at The Washington Post. Today, after a night on cable TV shows, he re-appears with a massive recounting of his experience at the Huffington Post blog.

His story is billed as "INSIDE THE JURY ROOM: WHAT THE JURY THOUGHT, DAY BY DAY, WITNESS BY WITNESS, AT THE SCOOTER LIBBY TRIAL" by Denis Collins, Juror #9. It calls it "unedited" impressions, memories and facts. Other jurors' names are changed.

The New York Times today reports that he is a registered Democrat. He recalls that he revealed when considered for the jury that he had worked with Bob Woodward for three or four years and also with the Post's Walter Pincus, another witness at the trial. Until a year ago, Tim Russert was a neighbor and he even attended backyard barbeques at Russert's place. But attorneys at both tables merely offered "ain't this a small town" grins, he relates.

He adds that he went to grade school with the Times' Maureen Dowd, who allegedly had a crush on Collins' brother.

One of the lawyers asked him the subject of his 2005 book. "You wrote about the CIA?" Collins said yes, which along with his reporting connections amounted to the "perfect storm." He comments: "Yet here I am," on the CIA leak case jury.





This decision shows why DC has become a bed of illiterate liberal idiots.

This decision is more dangerous to White Conservative Males than Ben Laden and al Qaeda. Now we can be found guilty for any imaginary crime the liberals come up with.

Sandy Berger walks with an admitted act of theft of top secret documents and treason. Libby is charged and found guilty with an imaginary crime.

Real Story Behind CIA Leak
Fox News Corp. ^ | 3-6-07 | John Gibson

Excerpt from this oped by John Gibson:
In any event Libby is a Republican and works for Dick Cheney to some liberals and to the media that in itself deserves Capital Punishment.

In contrast the national security advisor to President Bill Clinton, risking his livelihood, and his liberty stole classified documents from the national archives and destroyed them. He knew that this was a crime but the travesty is that he stole these documents in the midst of a bi-partisan commission's investigation into the terrorist attacks of 911. The implication of this act is treason.

The key questions, still unanswered are who was Mr. Berger covering up for? Was it his own mistakes as National Security Advisor that would be embarrassing to be made public by the 911 commission? Or, was he in fact covering up for mishandlings by Bill Clinton? History will never be able to re-create facts that were in those destroyed documents and therefore we may never know why the government failed to stop 911 from happening.

Almost 3000 Americans were murdered and the crime to cover up the facts surrounding that is largely unpunished. Mr. Berger is a liberal Democrat who worked for former President Bill Clinton. Being a Liberal Democrat who worked for the media beloved Bill Clinton got him a pass. So much for the balanced scales of justice.
