Per Fox News...
LOL, my vacuum stays out in one room or another. If I put it up no one can figure out what's missing. "What's different, did you change the furniture?"
They are DESPERATELY trying to make this about the war and not Wilson's lying.
Its only a flesh wound!
I see, so you call everybody you don't know "honey". Please. I'll "thread" on anybody I choose too. You can't cause me any problems, so don't believe you can.
Doesn't sound like a resignation to me.
The more problematic part of the letter was Libby telling Miller what others had testified regarding communications with him. That could be construed as 'here is the story.'
Make that 8.
LOL! And I have two baskets of laundry on my living room floor that I keep waiting to fold by themselves. It's not happening.
I'm still in my robe and down to 1 cigarette!
UPI is pathetic...
Libby indictment expected at 2 p.m.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 28 (UPI) -- U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney's chief of staff Friday faced expected indictment on charges stemming from the outing of a CIA agent.
Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald scheduled an early afternoon news conference to discuss his findings in the case involving Valerie Plame, the CIA agent married to Iraq war critic Joseph Wilson.
Fitzgerald is expected to announce an indictment against Lewis Libby, charging him with making a false statement to the grand jury investigating the case. Presidential adviser Karl Rove is expected to escape indictment -- at least for now.
The New York Times said Fitzgerald's preparations for the announcement have been secret. White House officials told the newspaper Libby likely would resign if indicted.
Fitzgerald has been trying to determine who leaked Plame's name to columnist Robert D. Novak, who published it in a July 14, 2003, column.
I don't know anymore; hoosier, the "game" use to be people could spread even misinformation in D.C.; now apparently Fitzgerald is going to say that it's a crime to do that, or to misspeak.
Oh just a tad
And Oust. Spray Oust in a couple of rooms, Febreze the furniture, anything like that.
That clean smell without all that darn work.
Be right back...gotta go pour some bleach.
We're getting an "it's only a perjury indictment for one guy" relief rally on Wall Street today. IMO energy stocks are way oversold; there's some inefficiency in the market in that area. As soon as nat gas prices stabilize there should be a good bounce in those stox in November.
"I hate to say it but perhaps Rove should resign."
Precisely what the Democrats and their friends in the MSM want. They may have lost the election, but they are more important than the voters. They can bring Administrations down if they rant and rave long enough.
Go push the button on the diswasher and light a match to the burn pile....They'll do your work for you.
This is a fascinating situation.
Typically, one shuts something down by removing its power source. To paraphrase Bill Cosby, I plugged you in, I can unplug you. But acting Atty. Gen. Comey gave his creation its own independent and dedicated power source. There's no plug to pull.
In appointing Fitzgerald, Comey bestowed on him all the authority of the Attorney General, while at the same time specifying that Fitzgerald was not under the oversight or authority of the Dept. of Justice or anyone else. How do you fire someone over whom you have no authority?
Ok, then why wouldn't the President have the authority to pull the plug? In setting this thing up, certain aspects of the expired Independent Counsel law were invoked and agreed to by congress, the Justice Dept and the GAO. Having invoked and incorporated Independent Counsel precedent into the workings, they effectively subject themselves to another precedent: the Independent Counsel is specifically put outside the reach of the president. Of course, there's much room to argue the technicalities, and in the end, it would be determined that such individual, absolute omnipotence is unconstitutional. But even broaching that line of thought would be just the nixonian branding the libs and media are itching for.
Bottom line, imho: Fitzgerald is Hal, the computer in 2001:A Space Odyssey.
It's NOT that bad IMO, considering what it could have been.
Are you hearing the Dem pundits today? They are trying SO hard to make this sound worse than it is. "This is bad for the WH, yada, yada, yada". What they don't get, is the majority of the American people who even care about this story are gonna look at these charges and laugh.
