Fitzgerald will "give direction" on the investigation (UPDATE: Fitzgerald Press Conference at 2pm )

Per Fox News...

[Crawdad]

Anyone got an Eeyore gif for Mr. Kristol?

[Rokurota]

I think if Fitzy wants the indictment bad enough, he'll get the votes.

[STARWISE]

The "I don't recall" defense is not foolproof.

If it's reasonably believable (given recall from an incident 2 years ago, etc.) and there's no DNA laying around to snare you .. it's a legitimate defense.

I never go to DU, but my son told me they are all crying over there. DUer's want Rove to go down. I don't think most people on the street know who the heck Libby is.

[macamadamia]

Out West, where you vacation, the aspens will already be turning. They turn in clusters, because their roots connect them.


Hmmmm, I plugged these words into my Enigma machine......and I got nothin'.

[mystery-ak]

Libby is a well-known, top notch lawyer in DC...I can't believe he is stupid enough to intentionally lie to a GJ...

[Semper Paratus]

In the last 4 months the MSM lead stories have all been about Bush bashing.
Sheehan
Katrina
Miers
Palme

Question is what is the next one after this.

[conservatism_IS_compassion]

Russert, like so many many of his colleagues in the media, has been bought and paid for.

It's not necessary to assume that, even though there's not a dime's worth of difference between a journalist and a Democratic politician. It is, rather, perfectly understandable that the rules of the game of journalism - "If it bleeds, it leads," and "there's nothing more worhless than yesterday's newspaper" for example - produce negativity and superficiality which is inimicable to the middle class values of the Republican Party.

And it is perfectly understandable that the party which has the fewest scruples against exploiting that inherent MSM propaganda would gradually abandon any resistance to it - and become the political expression of the perspective inherent in journalism - a patronizing attitude towards the middle class and the Republican Party.

That patronizing attitude was on full display when Gore told Kemp in their VP debate that Kemp wasn't racist - for a Republican. When Kemp accepted that, he was allowing Gore to patronize the base of the Republican Party - something no Republican politician - least of all a VP candidate who should have an aggressive, attacking attitude - should ever do. It destroyed Jack Kemp as a national political figure.

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

Won't watch, will have come up with some spin & announce lawsuits for mega millions.

Or annouce Wilson's indictment was the result of an attempt to discredit him. (That would be sweet!)

[Mo1]

Geez .. Kristol is back on with his doom and gloom

Actually ... Bill looks like he's gonna cry

[Grampa Dave]

[smith288]

He just might, since it is so easy that even a caveman can do it.


Ill have the roasted duck with the mango salso...

[XEHRpa]

Fox News is burning me, too. The guy just said that "Rove ESCAPED indictment, for the time being" (emphasis his). Since when does not being indicted constitute an "escape"? Only if your bias is that he should have been indicted.

[CharlesWayneCT]

WHen he was all depressed about Miers, some said he was a courageous man.

Now we know he is just depressing and sad.

[prairiebreeze]

Bttt about Wilson, Larry Johnson and Val "Colonel Flagg" Plame SUCKING EGGS!

And to quote our esteemed VP, "eff 'em".

[eyespysomething]

I don't have much of an appetite right now.

[kabar]

I hope Wilson is as well, but I just don't see it at this point. Miller was called back for additional testimony and the NYT has effectively disowned her. I wonder why. Because she made a deal or because she is being indicted?

[BigSkyFreeper]

If Kristol could break out a smile, he would remind me of Ron Popiel.

[Cold Heat]

Look man, I know that Miller was hiding something, but I STILL BELIEVE, that Libby spoke off the record and did not bring up the name until the name was run by him. This GJ is apparent so stupid that they cannot discern a reporters trap for a source when they see it, and probably don't think they would do that or understand the reasoning.

If the SC is still with the jury, there may be nothing here at all, or you may be right about Miller, I just don't know and I understand how how came to that conclusion. It took two to tango!

I'm gonna wait for confirmation and this BS about further investigation, this sounds like statute crap.

[Mo1]

I think if Fitzy wants the indictment bad enough, he'll get the votes

Very possible ... but it sounded like he didn't present the charges to the GJ yet
