Next Steps in Plamegate

Excellent Larry. This is a huge victory for our country. It also puts things in a layman’s perspective for Joe Q. Public. All of us Americans owe a debt of gratitude to you and all of our retired intel professionals who stood up to this travesty – and were rewarded with vicious attacks and smears – for standing up for our Republic. God bless you all – for what you’ve done and continue to do.

Howard Dean was on Ed Shultz today, and he said that we can’t dwell on impeachment because we’ve got more important things to take care of first, such as “undoing” the damage this administration has done in the world.

In other words, according to Howard Dean, the Democrats cannot walk and chew gum at the same time; they can’t multi-task; they can only do a couple important things at a time…and impeachment is not one of them.

I’m afraid that the long, sharp knife of Vice-President SonOfABitch has the entire world ‘a-scared.

Why aren’t you afraid, Larry?

thank you so much for all you have done and continue to do to keep the momentum going. I would like nothing better than to see an impeachment, better yet, trial for treason. Joe was excellent on Larry King and Olberman. He is one of my heroes. Cheney and Bush stink so bad, do you think they aren’t considering impeachment because that could leave us with Rice, or what gives???

Have you people read the Washington Post’s lead editorial this morning: the guy found guilty yesterday is a good civil servant–john wilson is the real liar.
The WP editorial page has supported this White House, the Iraq War and much else all along.

Yes,Brigette, I almost puked. The whole media (with exception of internet) has been complicit in this coup… I remember something about a big WH conf right after 911, where all the reporters gathered. Where perhaps they were told ( /?/), about the media role in this war. Can’t remember details, but remember listening to comments, etc. and thinking— how Orwellian!?!’. schrub also made some ditty comment about it too. Many computer crashes ago, I saved my links and writings, but they are probably somewhere in the computer info dump lot, in some basement office, waiting to use in a sedition case someday…never to be found again my this old lady…

I can’t believe some of the dibble I have been reading online this AM, and the whole MSM ignoramous responsenon response. Thank God for the Internet News, and that we have this one ‘free’ liberty left… Freedom of the Press just needs to be redefined for the well being of this Nation…

I also will share this for everyone’s consideration. I read this, and saved it, because it brought out so many of my feelings… Americablog is one of my recommends, and the discussion is usally about topics that interest me… In this case, the Impeachment thiny… Liked the orchid’s on Friday’s… anyway, here’s a link.

Testimony from Fitz before Congress should become a first order of business.

Larry,
Kudos! Well said. Our country owes a great deal to you for sticking your ass on the line as many times as you have. The big office on the seventh floor would be cool…Keep the sun at your back, your nose in the wind, and your eyes on the horizon. Fin

>>> “This raises the question of whether we are a nation of laws or the mere subjects of a gang of bullies.”

Anyone who believes that there has been much democratic process (as in, “…of, by and for the people”) since November 23, 1963 fails to see even a tiny corner of The Big Picture. We have not been governed in a long time; we have been Ruled by those who consider themselves our Betters.

Or haven’t you noticed?

I have been disgusted with the individuals who pull the levers of my government since watching the syncophants surrounding the addled puppet Reagan lie on my television screen.

The present bunch reaffirms my belief in blood atonement. If that term is unfamiliar to you, ask a Mormon.

Meanwhile, we have had our show trial. ScooterPie will serve some time in The Wilderness before selling his memoirs for $3 – 5 million dollars. The loons inside the Beltway will continue to plunder the public treasure for short-term gratfication; the Thing That Thinks It’s the President and The Deadly Dick of Disaster will persevere in their program of making the United States the either the laughingstock or the golem of Civilization.

And our media will concern themselves the criminal careers of sports figures, two-headed calves, the cavorting of mindless, drugged bimbos from the world of Entertainment and pointless speculation regarding who stuck their little wee-wee into whose little woo-woo.

I trained to kill complete strangers (with whom I had no quarrel) in faraway corners of the globe to preserve THIS?

Damn right Larry; I left the verdict and started in with the attorneys being fired by the criminal family that runs this country. I was around when Nixon tried to do this. Someone let him off the hook. IF anyone lets these “mafioso” then we will no longer have a country.
It is time for some serious congressional activity. We had best remind them repeatedly that actually have that power and that it is time to use it.

When did impeachment cease to be a legitimate tool for ensuring accountability in government, and become transformed into the ‘I’ word? Is it the fear of being seen as bad as the Clinton lynchers?

My general education experience, such as it is, led me to believe that the founders, as an acknowledgement that they couldn’t predict all possibilities of executive excess, created the impeachment process as a last resort catch all, for times when the usual process of 3-branch accountability doesn’t work.

We can easily tell that we’re long past the point of being able to work with the current executive branch, because they tell us so in their own words; by proclaiming that the opinions and legal authority of others just don’t matter. Any agenda is just a lie/cheat/steal away. Any law they want to bypass is just a signing statement away.

And then instead of impeachment being the last resort, we hear that it’s ‘off the table’. My response to that is, how about unresponsive representatives being off the ballot?

What makes congress think they can effectively exercise any of their legislative authority, while they’re being pissed on? Sounds like they’re hopelessly and arrogantly clinging to their fantasy of importance.

Let’s hope that they wake up and hear the barbarians at the gate.

Correction. Matryoshka, not Kachina, doll. Sorry.

>>> “Three reporters heard her say what sounded like, ‘We’re gonna (expletive) ‘em.’”

Do you think she meant:

1. The godless, America-hating media;
2. The cabal that put ScooterPie on trial?
3. Cheney and Shrubbie, for throwing Libby under the bus?

Always nice to hear a classy Republican woman stand firmly by her man, isn’t it?

Of course, the verdict will change her life. Might have to let some of the help go; drink screw top wine from Safeway instead of Montrachet; stay at a location Not In Keeping with her Station in Life when the family vacations in Aspen instead of Gstaad.

One last question: was she wearing her Elizabeth Dole style red blazer (de rigeur for GOP women) when she said this?

LAST OBSERVATION ON THE VEDICT: This verdict guarantees a bountiful supply of material for the Hot Air Echo Chamber (Limbaugh, Ingraham, Boortz, Fox News, Novak, American Enterprise Institute, Heritage Foundation, the Moonie papers, et al) for the next decade. Scaiffe must be doing the Neo-Nazi Macarena right now (probably has one of the Coors clan on the phone), as he searches for some new bottom feeders to dig up the dirt on Fitzgerald.

A new “Arkansas Project” is probably a-borning, even as we speak…

I’ll name three for starters. The charge that Joe Wilson said Vice President Cheney sent him to Niger. FACT: Joe never said such a thing.
The claim that Valerie was just an analyst and not covert. FACT: Valerie was undercover from the first day she walked into CIA in September of 1985 and remained in that status until Robert Novak’s article appeared.
The claim that Joe Wilson’s report indicated Iraq had tried to acquire uranium from NIGER. FACT: Joe’s report to the CIA, which was put into a TD, made clear that there was no credible evidence that Iraq had acquired or could acquire yellowcake uranium. Title of the TD makes this quite clear.

The “other information” that Bushco. whines about was their own stovepipe that was being kicked down everywhere else.

As for the civil trial, burden of proof is different, and it’s quite clear the Libby jurors thought many others were as/more guilty above Libby.

The war pig contractor graft will get redistributed after all.

The Wilsons know how to best work in the spirit and faith of our best interests. They will be an NGO in their own right that helps mend some of these wounds, restore faith in the rule of law, and expand the scope of effective governance for those countries we need to help fight against the terror threat.

They’ll do it in ways that satisfy the demands the rest of our planet has for civility. Mankind can come together in peaceful terms. As we reinforce the fabric of shared interests on equitable terms we will win this. They know from their calling to duty how to do this and employ security as a method and means instead of to an end.

The reason terrorism seems so tough a battle is that it’s uphill. If we level the playing field in fundamental terms the market dynamics change. Conflict requires deep underlying tension, ones that equity best help to dissolve.

The Wilsons can be a shining light towards better policy, even far past the auspice of Albright doctrine.

There are people the world around ready to engage this new trend. Shared common principle, transition economies, technology all will find a nexus within an emerging new society. One that outshines our differences which before could overshadow dialog. This new light and language will bring together the highest aspects of our era.

The best and the brightest will have their day. This is a new era reborn. Individuals will bear the mantle of leadership to new levels.

Ambassador Wilson’s courage and ethics model this new paradigm. Persons willing to put self ahead of country in calls to service within public office, private industry, geopolitical and ecopolitical profiles in courage.

Keepers of the flame, bring forward your dreams, your words, your passion.

Senator Sanders(I-Vermont) is speaking to similar needs at home on the Floor right now. Health care, education, equitable wages are all priorities of equal merit that can be unified in their goal towards a better future.

We take these ideas and make them part of America’s policy at home, then countries wanting to work toward similar goals can join in this.

Across this front we will garner more allies vs. state sponsors or rogue groups.

If we do not guard the flame of human rights and humanitarian endeavors we lose the moral high ground. Lebanon has seen Hezbollah do more in NGO/relief/ social governance as a political party than its own challenged governing infrastructure can do. How alarming the realities of post Rumsfeld doctrine have become in the decades after Beruit.

Cool…
