The Good Ship Fitzgerald is Listing
The American Thinker ^ | 5/14/06 | Clarice Feldman

Posted on 05/14/2006 9:45:13 AM PDT by the Real fifi

While the media focuses on handwritten notations by the Vice President on a newspaper article, there is much more to be gleaned from late Friday’s court filings in the Libby case. The spin says that damaging new evidence has surfaced. But the filings by Fitzgerald reveal how rapidly his case is sinking.

Discovery in legal cases is rather like playing the old game “Battleship” where you can surmise from your opponent’s responses to your blind probes where he is hiding his fleet. So you can sink it. Scooter Libby’s legal team is playing the game masterfully and as the latest filings late Friday show, Fitzgerald’s fleet is taking on a lot of water. News articles as evidence

Have you ever heard of William Pitt, alleged author, anywhere but DU? I have never seen his name anywhere except there. He's probably that site owner's special friend.

They are nuts, at least most of them. I think it's important to know what they're saying and thinking, though, so I look in there. Mostly, it's what I call "the panic of the day." Every day they have something new to panic about.

The language is horrific, and the prominence of radical feminism is significant. There's a lot of angry old women there that life left behind.

The legend lives on from the DU on down
On the media they called 'Gotcha Gumee'
The lake, it is said, never gives up her dead
When the skies of November turn gloomy
With a load of BS twenty thousand times more
Than the Patrick Fitzgerald weighed empty.
The story was not true t’was a bone that was chewed
When the gales of November came early.

The ship was the pride of the liberal side
Coming back from some CIA junket
As the big stories go, it was bigger than most
With Ambassador lying well seasoned
Concluding some terms with yellowcake firms
When they left fully loaded for Niger
And later that night when the ship's bell rang
Could it be the ill wind they'd been feelin'?
The wind in the wires made a tattle-tale sound
And truth broke over the railing
And every man knew, as the captain did too,
T'was the witch of November come stealin'.
The dawn came late and the mint tea had to wait
When the Gales of November came slashin'.
When afternoon came it was freezin' rain
In the face of a hurricane west wind.
When suppertime came, the old cook came on deck sayin'.
Fellas, it's too rough to indict ya.
At Seven P.M. a main hatchway caved in, he said
Fellas, it's been good t'know ya
The captain wired in he had water comin' in
And the good ship and crew was in peril.
And later that night when his lights went outta sight
Came the wreck of the Patrick Fitzgerald.
Does any one know where the love of God goes
When the waves turn the minutes to hours?
The searches all say they'd have made it a crime
If they'd only been indicting a Clinton.
He might have split up or he might have capsized;
May have broke deep and took water.
And all that remains is the faces and the names
Of the wives and the sons and the daughters.
Lake Huron rolls, Superior sings
In the rooms of her ice-water mansion.
Old Michigan steams like a young man's dreams;
The islands and bays are for sportsmen.
And farther below Lake Ontario
Takes in what Lake Erie can send her,
And the iron boats go as the mariners all know
With the Gales of November remembered.
In a musty old hall in Detroit they prayed,
In the Maritime Sailors' Cathedral.
The church bell chimed till it rang twenty-nine times
For each count of the Patrick Fitzgerald.
The legend lives on from the DU on down
On the media they call 'Gotcha Gumee'.
Superior, they said, never gives up her dead
When the gales of November come early!

And if this is not idle talk, I hope you are prepared to live with that choice. I think it's the worst choice you can make, and will not join you in such destructive behavior.

Most RINO's will make the same choice as you appear to be willing to do.

The ones you refer to are so far right that they circled and came back to the far left again.

Hi A CA Guy. Long time, no chat. You are SO right about that. :)

Wilson is radioactive and will be demolished by the defense, so Fitzgerald wants to distract the jury’s attention from that indisputable and damaging fact while forwarding Wilson’s attack on the Administration. Put Wilson’s article in front of the jury, not the man himself.

Bingo .. but it won't work

From what I have read about these alledged notations by Cheney, they would seem to work against the idea that they were out to "get Plame".

If you knew who she was, how he got the pro-bono gig and decided to "get her" you wouldn't ask what Cheney is alledged to have asked.

More significantly the VP had underlined all the substantive lies in the piece, underscoring Libby's claim that it was the substance of Wilson's fairytale that he was focused on, not the bit about Plame which was , after all, just the reslish on the buffet sized plate.
