hopefully, we've seen the last of Joe Wilson?

one can only hope

Now is the time for a real journalist to grill him over how he turned his friendly little taxpayer funded vacation to Niger into a national scandal where he gets to lie and everyone else is supposed to praise his great intellect.

i watched a bit over the weekend of the YKos...only out of curiosity...kind of like when you first watch a dog clean themselves...

did I see it correctly when the Moonbats called for a Fitz/Plame run for office?

it was pretty early in the morning, but I thought that's what I heard.

"It just proves

• Fitzgerald can't prove it, but Rove is still guilty
  
• Rove was able to subvert justice with his God-like powers by convincing Fitzgerald not to indict for the good of the country
  
• Fitzgerald knew the President would pardon Rove, and for the good of the country decided not to indict
  
• Fizgerald (the statesman) realized that to indict Rove would bring about civil war, and for the good of the country decided not to indict him
  
• Fitzgerald is going after Dick Cheney for attempted hunting
  
• Fitzgerald is a traitor to The Cause, and should now be thrown under a bus
  
• Fitzgerald 'does not plan to indict' -- notice he left wiggle room?  

He is still guilty. Why else would the investigation have taken so long?  Where there is smoke there is fire. And what about those sixteen words -- and there were probably more words in the speech that the President didn't use because he missed a line on the teleprompter.  What about those, hmmm?"

I need to wash now.

you officially own my first laugh this morning over my first cupa joe.

The proverbial follow up question:

Next?  Anyone?

on FOX & FRIENDS this morning, told me as I was stepping out of the shower.  I laughed solidly for what had to be almost ten minutes.

They had put so much stock into this, with their Truthout lies embraced by Chris Matthews.  

Even in defeat -- and that's what this is -- the WashPost drools over how tough the indictment-that-will-never-be would have been for an Administration "already on the political ropes."

It's over.  It has proven to be nothing.  The entire Joe Wilson Scandal™ has proven to be a running joke.

I can't wait for the obligatory Joe Wilson op/ed on the matter.  Then comes the book deals and the movies starring brad and angie.

Is that crickets that I hear? After all this, and not a word?

Things must be pretty bad in LibLand if they can't win even in the courts.

Ho ho ho.

And a lump of coal for your stocking, Mr Leopold.

I must have missed it.

All I can say is, 'Run Joe Wilson! Run!'

funny thing was...he didn't rule it out...quite like Al

have another "find a link to this excuse" contest!

...continues to call Plame an "operative", despite her non-secret role driving in the front gate at Langley every day (and a husband who was introducing her as "My CIA wife" at posh dinner parties).

Go figure.

Giggle...Giggle...

Bwahahahahahahahaha!

Repeat.

1. Zarqawi got greased
   
   
2. Bilbray won CA-50
   
   
3. No indictments for Rove
   
   
4. Unemployment at 4.6%
   
   
5. T.S. Alberto did not, and will not, turn into some horrible mega-hurricane and wipe out half the gulf coast. Better luck next time, Mr. Gore.

If the President valued America more than he valued his connection to Karl Rove, then Karl Rove would have been fired a long time ago

Howard Dean on William Jefferson (D-Freezer):

Democratic chairman Howard Dean declined to side with either Pelosi or Jefferson. "We are going to stay out of this one," said a spokesman, Luis Miranda.

If Mr. Dean valued honesty more then he feared the Black Caucus then Jefferson would have been removed from the Ways and Means committee long ago...

In between defending the evil empire and tee time with clients, he was certain. Certain I tell you, of major indictments coing soon.

And let us not forget that blowhard Harley at Tacitus.org who cleanses the board of conservatives so he can post his snarky empty pap in peace. Hey, look! No Fitzmas.

How much bandwidth has America wasted, how many trees have died, how many hours of ad time sold just to allow the MSM/DNC to make up bs and spam it wall-to-wall to hide the act that Joe Wilson lied?

Wilson, an out of work husband to a non-secret, politically active leftist emplyee of the CIA got her hubbie a consulting gig. It did not even rise to the importance of a secrecy agreement. It was so unimportant he was not even required to submit a written report.

It was a fluff piece. A piece of pity work provided from friends of his wife to let him try and build a consulting practice. And Wilson decided to lie about it and was used by the anti-American twits in CIA who think they, not elected leaders, should be in charge.

The core of the Plame-Wilson scandal is bureaucrats who think they know better. The core of the Plame-Wilson is that the MSM has become a useless, irresponsible echo chamber for one political party. Just like so much of the MSM today, their reportage is a pitiful scam: Rathergate, the lies about Katrina, the attacks on Tom Delay, the reasons for this war, the meltdown over the VP's hunting accident, the phony indictment of the Marine hero, and on and on and on and on.

Will the MSM finally, at long last, get some professional backbone? Will they finally have some sense, if not of decency, then of shame?

Time will tell.

Luskin was speaking only in the future tense - "does not anticipate seeking charges" - but doesn't address whether Rove has already been indicted!

Tuesday, June 6, through Tuesday, June 13, Days of Left-Wing Despair.

(but Hurricane Season lasts through the fall! Let's turn to the weather team at the DNC for details...)

Did not buy the t-shirt.

Wilson may even be sincere, but I sincerely doubt it.

algore is a long term nut case.

His movie was not about global warming, it was about algore. He actually retold the story of his son's car accident, his sister's death, and claimed that Katrina was caused by global warming.

It was a slick movie, but was a sales pitch clinton could have made in his sleep. For alggore, it was a atruggle.

just very tired of seeing his mug  EVERYWHERE

this "new" Al...funny, entertaining, blah,blah

just a tool that is still peeved about losing.

Only he has not clothes.

But it was evident that Mr. Fitzgerald's decision followed an exhaustive inquiry into Mr. Rove's activities that had brought the political strategist dangerously close to possible charges. In October, when Mr. Libby was indicted, people close to Mr. Rove had suggested that his involvement in the case would soon be over; speculation about Mr. Rove's legal situation flared again in April when he made his fifth appearance before the grand jury.

A series of meetings between Mr. Luskin and Mr. Fitzgerald and his team proved pivotal in dissuading the prosecutor from bringing charges. On one occasion Mr. Luskin himself became a witness in the case, giving sworn testimony that was beneficial to Mr. Rove.

He was "dangerously close" to being in trouble, so therefore guilty, kind of like how "almost" getting a victory in CA-50 is really a victory.

And the second paragraph will lead the moonbats to say that Rove's lawyer snookered the now-dufus Fitzgerald into backing off.

Howard, if they've taken you out of your straitjacket for your morning coffee read this, God punishes for sin, the courts punish for crime.  And my bet is you might be in for more trouble with the Big Guy then Rove.  Unless He makes excuses for insanity.

      If you want a snapshot  of liberal depravity this is it.  The man is exonerated of any crime related to a case where there was no crime and it's a "bad day for America".  A good day for America would have been if justice was turned on it's head and Rove railroaded and destroyed.  It's an alternate, negative image, world and liberals are alternate beings, perhaps human, perhaps not.

We're so fortunate to have Dean's view that leaking the name of a CIA operative is a "real sin."  Perhaps its discussed more in his favorite book of the New Testament, "The Allegory of Job."

Re Rep. William Jefferon: didn't the Big Guy say something about "thou shalt not STEAL?"

I'm glad the poor man wasn't forced to frog march in handcuffs.

As the day goes on, I will be checking the various political sites for reactions to the non-indictment of Karl Rove.

I always had the intuition that Fitzgerald had nothing on him of substance, and I wonder now if Dims are going to be out there screeching about " how much money we've wasted on this investigation," like they did after Starr's look into Monicagate.

Remember this, oh ye lurking lefty trolls - Just because you want something to be true does not make it so

I'm melting!! I'm melting!!! - Wicked Witch/Howard Dean

5*

And if the Congressional Black Caucus valued honesty more than racism, they wouldn't have played the race card. They harm their credibility more than they know by standing by their man.

Via Drudge: The AP has run a picture of Rove with a large EXIT sign visible in the background.

Sorry MSM friends, it ain't gonna work.

the picture is an old one. Still, their desire is pretty clear.

according to Drudge

... but I think my spleen just ruptured from laughing so hard.

MERRY FITZMAS TO ALL!

I can't say I'm surprised.

Just ticked off that they wasted so much of my hard earned money chasing this rabbit down a hole.

all day.

The picture of Rove is a perfect one and Howard's scream will be a comfort to all those that slink over here.  Just because they can't help themselves.

as of the time of this comment there are "666 words in this story".

Just another sign for them...

That's some coal in kos' stocking.

a quiet day here from the trolls, mobys, lurkers, etc.  What a shame.  We could have had some real fun.

Have yourself a merry little Fitzmas,

Let your heart be light

From now on,

Chris Matthews will be out of sight

Have yourself a merry little Fitzmas,

Make the Yule-tide gay,

From now on,

our panders won't be miles away.

Here we are as in olden days,

Happy golden days of Al Gore.

The Kos Kiddies who are dear to us

Gather near to us once more.

Through the years

We all will be together,

If Diebold allows

Hang a shining star upon the highest bough.

And have yourself A merry little Fitmas now.  

I'm a moonbat lurker. Go ahead.

The Daily Kos is theorizing that this is all part of a Rovian plot to get rid of Dick Cheney.  I kid you not.

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2006/6/13/9339/59486

So if they have to give up their dream of nailing Rove, at least they can now dream of nailing Cheney.

Hope springs eternal in the moonbat breast.

and I love what I read.  Its a shame that some of them dont channel their energies into book writing.  But here is what I think is the best, complaining that all these men who worked under a very LIBERAL Manhattan DA, are in on "it!":

What you'll find is that Guiliani, Spitzer, Cherkasky, Patrick Fitzgerald, Louis Freeh, and a few other names you'd recognize, all used to work for New York District Attorney Robert Morgenthau; and if one were to investigate the history of these particular men- in contrast to the events of 9-11, the fraudulent transactions of 9-11, and destruction of evidence from Ground Zero- one might readily ascertain that these men- though separated geographically, are still very much conspiring behind the scenes.

To further demonstrate my contention, I'll offer suppressed evidence of the February 1993 World Trade Center bombing: A man was instructed by the FBI to place a bomb in the underground parking garage of the North Tower, by parking a van laden with military-grade explosives next to a specific column- said man was suspicious that he was being used, and therefore recorded hundreds of hours of audio, wherein he captured the FBI instructing him to do everything that I've just alluded to. It doesn't matter if you believe me, see if you believe yourself when you look it up: just type in three simple words: "Salem + WTC + Recording", what you'll find is...

Emid Ali Salem, was FBI informant who used hidden microphones given to him by Federal Bureau of Investigation agents to record his conversations with rogue agents of the bureau. A Los Angeles Times article on October 28, 1993 revealed to shocked readers details of FBI involvement in the terrorist act. But America doesn't read... yet.

Why haven't you heard of this before? Good question. It's easy enough to google it to find out, but for sake of continuity, Louis Freeh and Patrick Fitzgerald participated in the cover-up, which, as usual, was perpetrated under the veil of an alleged "investigation"."

And there you have it, the "rogue" FBI in 1993 tried to knock down the WTC using some innocent bystander because they couldnt park a truck themselves.  Hmmmmmmmm, I'm convinced.  

How this connects to Karl Rove makes sense in the Twilight Zone.

... seems to have no consequence. Odd folks.

If you were a lurker, you wouldn't have a comments history.  :)

Glad you could drop by the party.  We have a very nice wine & cheese bar over in the corner...

Ha ha ha ha haaaa ha

You not noooooothing

Rove's not indiiiicted

Ha ha ha ha haaaa ha

(picture me pointing and dancing as I laugh to the tune of Eric Cartman's taunts)

what next?...backfire after backfire, is there anything else to say about this?

...you keep me honest. I meant "lurker" in the sense that I don't want to show my face today. :<

No, make that a good week. What a beautiful string of news we've had lately. Glad to be on the right side of things.

Now, the White House needs to seize the huge opportunity that this latest news cycle has afforded them and make some real inroads politically.

In other news, after this great past week, the Intrade contracts for the GOP holding the Senate and the House have increased by substantial numbers.

GOP holding the Senate was down to around a 75% chance, and is now up to 82%.

GOP holding the House was sinking in the low 40's but now has rocketed up to 53!

For the first time in many months, I actually feel hopeful about the '06 elections.

I mean, take a look outside (assuming that you're on the Eastern seaboard).  The sun's shining, the birds are chirping (more than I've ever seen in my life, lately), the temperature's perfect for June: so in the grand scheme of things, what's more important?  That They didn't get Karl Rove, or that there's treeshade with your name on it for your lunch?

Isn't that part of the "smoking gun" in the freezer defense team montra?

like that's going to happen. :-)

is alave to procedure and rather than go where he heart rightly leads him and indict, he insists on sticking to outmoded concepts of legal process, procedure, proof, evidence, testimony, etc.

After we win MN and NJ in the Senate, losing only PA for a net gain of 1 and hold the House largely unchanged we'll have to put them on suicide watch.

that Guiliani, Spitzer, Cherkasky, Patrick Fitzgerald, Louis Freeh, Karl Rove, Dick Cheney and George Bush each has a mother and their mothers are all women. Coincidence? I think not!

Representative Kennedy will Plead GUILTY to drunk driving.  

What is the world coming to when a Kennedy is guilty and Rove is cleared?!  :-)

Here I was browsing RedState listening to some smooth jazz and out of my speakers comes this blood curdling scream. After I cleaned the coffee out of my keyboard I realized it was on this topic.

The bill for a new keyboard, and a replacement cup of coffee, is in the mail.

to Rush, and thought it was part of HIS show!

it can save your liver!!    There is hope for the Irish!! :)

he's a man of the system; part of the problem, not the solution.  

While this line of thinking is squarely in the "under the bus" category, it has the added benefit of "we knew this would happen all along".

Right now the MSM is still saying what Rove could have been charged with, and that Scooter Libby already has been indicted.  Probably the story of the non-indictment will go away quickly, to be replaced with "with Rove not under direct scrutiny, the focus will fall squarely on Libby, with questions being asked of others in Vice President Dick Cheney's office."

That IS interesting.

hope. And if I were you I'd be careful what I said --- if you get mey drift :-)

... lost my perspective there for a minute.

Heh.

Let 'em commit suicide. Then whoever they still have alive can blame us for letting them do it.

DUI includes under the influence of drugs, not just booze.

I'm sure we'll soon see the lawsuits vs the drug companies involved and the FDA for approving them. And the Capitol Police probably will need to start spending more time in sensitivity training to better deal with these poor victims in an even more sensitive way than they deal with Prince Patrick.

...from the man who thinks Book of Job is in the New Testament, who believes he can pick and choose his neighbors, and who left the Episcopal Church because his local parish opposed a bike path.

One of my favorite Dylan songs. And relevant, too:

Idiot scream, blowing every time you move your mouth,

Blowing down the backroads headin' south.

Idiot scream, blowing every time you move your teeth,

You're an idiot, babe.

It's a wonder that you still know how to breathe

At this juncture, Mr. T. punches through the wall to correct my signing and admonishes me to purchase Direct TV.

you don't need it. Armando should have known WalMart doesn't sell trumped up indictments.

They just hire protesters to stand in front of them.

though I suppose "drunk" means not necessarily on alcohol, but includes for example "drunk on power."  :)

no doubt.

I Guess it's the only one that fits their frame.

. . . when they changed the lineup from a Republican, a Rino, and hard lefty and invited  Edward and Hilzoy as co-bloggers.  At that point the stories began to read more like talking points rather than original analysis and the comment section went into the fever swamp.

Wilson has apparently issued a statement from his lawyer (from RawStory)

"We have become aware of the communication between Mr. Fitzgerald and Mr. Luskin concerning Karl. Rove's status in the criminal investigation. We have no first-hand knowledge of the reason for the communication or what further developments in the criminal investigation it may signal. While it appears that Mr. Rove will not be called to answer in criminal court for his participation in the wrongful disclosure of Valerie Wilson's classified employment status at the CIA in retaliation against Joe Wilson for questioning the rationale for war in Iraq, that obviously does not end the matter. The day still may come when Mr. Rove and others are called to account in a court of law for their attacks on the Wilsons."

So, the short answer is, alas, probably not.  But the comedic thing is reading all the posts of the tin-foil hat brigade who've now got a new target.  Problem for them is, the Wilson's got no case (otherwise, Fitzgerald would have tried to indict for exposing her).

They just keep digging deeper and deeper into their little fantasy world.

ARE IN THIS STORY ABOUT KARL ROVE??

666

A COINCIDENCE?  I THINK NOT...

Panel: Churchill should be fired

they just won't tell you that they do.

STILL MAY COME?  That's Fantasy, folks.

It's like thinking Fred Goldman will get the entire judgement from OJ. All that his kid should have gotten was a stab in his butt while he was running away.

...to note the coincidence (and give out appropriate props); but the only way to do so would have been to do an update, and, well, that would have changed the wordcount...  :)

Stands for 'driving' not 'drunk'. The 'Under the Influence' part is what includes alcohol and drugs both perscription and 'recreational'. There is no legal charge of 'drunk driving'; that's just what the newspapers report for us non-lawyer types.
