It is worth reading the entire six pages.

You're right.

" With a senior Democratic United States Senator, a former chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, now ever so not delicately suggesting the players in this drama could all go to jail, it would seem that perhaps Mr. Messina and his Chicago buddies in the White House have fixed things for President Obama in a fashion that was unimaginable on inauguration day in January of 2009."

Unimaginable? Call me cynical, but I am SO not surprised.

Without Deepthroat there would have been no Watergate. Without someone to hand feed the media, there will be no story. A story about there being no story is better for the Obama mafia than a story about what was actually offered. Omerta works and you can bet there has been a blood oath administered to all White House minions. Watch for some resignations of the few ethical staffers who are conflicted. That will be a sign that there really is something criminal going on. I guess the corollary to that would be if there are no resignations and something is bad then there are no ethical staffers.

(Can this be what brings down Zer0 and his pals?)

The case is analogous to going after Clinton for impeaching himself over Monica instead of hanging him for ChinaGate. Yes, what the O-bot did is a felony. I know this won't be popular, but IMO, it is not an impeachable offense. It just happens to be a clear case by which to play "gotcha." It is bad politics to pursue it beyond planting his corrupt venality firmly in the public mind as a given. Go too far with this and it will backfire politically.

Zero is doing far worse to this country for which he richly deserves to be removed. This isn't it.

.....Fox has since tempered their criticism of the one......

To make that statement, you discount the daily words of Charles Krauthammer and Glen Beck. your statement is not really true.

Fox has invigorated the attack

I can just hear this being kicked around in White House discussions when the news broke: "That's illegal?! We did it all the time in Chicago!"

Here’s a very interesting post on the subject from Hillbuzz blog, Sunday:

http://hillbuzz.org/2010/03/14/an-interesting-breakfast-conversation-about-president-joe-bidens-short-year-long-term/

(If you’re not familiar with Hillbuzz, it’s written by some gay men, Hillary supporters, in Chicago. They have complete disdain for “Dr. Utopia” and his White House. They’re connected in Chicago and generally make for interesting, although colorful, reading.)

I have only one question. Where is Admiral Sestak’s honor in all of this? He makes the charge but then refuses to say who offered him the job. Where is your honor, Admiral? Is this the courage or lack of courage we should expect from a former naval officer?

You really want an answer to that question?

Just visualize the cartoon with a sign saying “Beware of Dog!”

The picture shows a length of chain laying on the ground attached to the collar of a dog’s skeleton.

The dead guard dog is and has been the Republican party for a very long time.

“when the white house tore up contract law at GM and rewarded their buddies, they committed a crime already”

Right. Which crimes should we focus on? How about the Slaughter shredding of the USC this week as well, among many others during the campaign (illegal campaign monies, etc. etc.)

“Come on media..... do your job.”

“Felonies didn’t bring down the last Dem administration. Why should this time be any different?”

At least we can spay and neuter them...

Depends on who WANTS to bring the O down. It’s not what was done, it’s what ends are desired and what means facilitate getting there. If enough of his own party wants him out - say, because there is no viable endgame for this healthcare debacle - they’ll use whatever means to that end.

The betting man in me has to go with the latter, rather than the former!
