Yes, Mr. Kristol, That’s A Crime

By Judd Legum on Oct 23rd, 2005 at 10:23 am

Yes, Mr. Kristol, That’s A Crime»

Bill Kristol has run out of spin for Bush administration officials involved in the leak scandal. Today on Fox News Sunday:

Scooter Libby or Karl Rove are going to be judged criminals for perhaps acknowledging her name, perhaps knowing, though there’s no evidence they did, that she was a covert operative…That’s a crime?

Yes, outing a covert CIA operative is a crime. So is obstruction of justice and perjury.

Kristol had a similar defense for Tom DeLay:

Tom DeLay is not a criminal…Are we seriously going to pretend that shuffling hard and soft money around which hundreds of politicians have done over the last two decades, before McCain-Feingold was enacted [is a crime]?

Actually, McCain-Feingold is irrelevant. DeLay is being prosecuted under Texas law. And under Texas law funneling corporate dollars into state races is a crime.

If this is the best Kristol has got, things must be really bad.

  1. Brian Says:

    Who is giving Kristol cash? When is he going to get the Judy Miller treatment?


  2. Brian Says:

    Kristol falls into that category of pundits whom reporters enjoy having as guests. Even NPR. But there is always insufficient follow up to his assertions. Kristol, like Santorum, carries a different persona depending on whom he is talking with. He is clearly a paid propagandist with an adaptive, persuasive agenda.


  3. nobody Says:

    It’s astonishing that Kristol is allowed to play the role of pundit. He’s part of the PNAC cabal.


  4. Alan Says:

    But what is amazing is how many people fall for ths spin. Millions of people who listen to this crap have no idea how a real court of law operates.


  5. The Fly-man Says:

    First he called the Plame affair “A bureaucratic miscommunication” then “Playing political harball isn’t a felony”(see url). Why does the image of Nixon keep coming to mind? He is way too casual about casualties. The general mantra follows “Do what we want without permission or mislead people on the intent and if you get caught down play the evidence and then just pay the fine. Sounds like Corporate America at it’s worse. Ironic the crew that needs the most pink slips gets none.www.weeklystandard.com/Content/Public/Articles/000/000/006/239rebkj.asp


  6. Al Delgado Says:

    Like the way the Republicans try to place themselves as the persecuted martyr underdog when they have been running the big show and stinking up the place. We won’t be fooled again.


  7. Tenochtitla Says:

    I saw Billy this morning. What those fellows mean when “they” make those statements is this: It’s not a crime when we do it. Those laws do not apply to us, they apply to everyone else. Imperial elitism. They are part of the privileged social layer, that we do not belong to. Legal torture, shooting to kill, arbitrary detentions, preventive strikes, concentration camps, deportations towards death, and brutality against the poor is what they consider legal.

  9. kevo Says:

    Please tell Mr. Kristol that true conservatives uphold the law, and abide our Constitution. If he or any other pseudo-conservatives continue to apologize for this criminal Administration, disregard them and their lack of intellectual intregrity. In fact, begin to suspect them as paid operatives of this White House. It has already proven that it puts reporters on the dole. I am a conservative, and it is time we begin to see that if we don’t put some clothes on the elephant in the room, the GOP will suffer immeasureable damage as Americans of all ilks become more and more educated about the corruption and ill-begotten policies coming from this Presidency. Just read Doonesbury this day. It’s a strip worth a bit of gold. -Kevo


  10. Jay Says:

    I don’t care how much people hate it when fascism and Nazism are used in current political discussions, Kristol is a neo-Nazi. Just as Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh are. They are liars, traitors and they represent the extremism that has destroyed American democracy.

    These maniacs need to be exposed again and again vby those of us living in the reality-based community.


  11. Factchecker Says:

    I just hate seeing the “criminalization of politics.” With Clinton, by contrast, he needed to be impeached because it was about the “rule of law”–er, well, uh… Ah, at least we can agree that Bush “restored honor and dignity to the office”! Oh yeah, ummm–about that…

    Hahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!


  12. Think Progress » Sen. Hutchinson: Any Indictment Should Be “On a Crime and Not Some Perjury Technicality” Says:

    […] On Meet the Press, Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchinson picks up where George Will left off: I certainly hope that if there is going to be an indictment that says something happened, that it is an indictment on a crime and not some perjury technicality where they couldn’t indict on the crime so they go to something just to show that their two years of investigation were not a waste of time and dollars. […]


  13. David B Says:

    #11 pretty much puts this asshat in prespective. He is a leader of the failed PNAC yet they (Faux News) parades him around like he is a think tank wonderboy. Thank our stars that 298 million Americans have enough sense not to watch Faux News.


  14. Darin Says:

    The Right Wingers are just imploding. There is no defense for what the Bush Adminstration has done to this country on his watch. Control of this country by the far Right is about to end.


  15. carolyn Says:

    Mr. Kristol is a fool who likes to think we are all fools and will be fooled by his tomfoolery. He is a pea brain PNAC. Unfortunately, there is a whold cabal of them including the Secretary of Defense who knows nothing about conducting a war, but couldn’t wait to involve us in one. May their house of cards come tumbling down, including Andy.


  16. Maezeppa Says:

    Kristol, like his father Irving, is a CIA asset. Kristol is also on the PNAC board. A neocon through and through.


  17. Jon J Says:

    Kristol is a charter member of PNAC, a conspiracy operating at the highest levels of the US Govt which, in its published paper of 1999, called for the invasion of Iraq and the rest of the “democracy in the middle east at the point of a gun” (translate “oil grab”), and noted that without a “Pearl Harbor-type event” the US public would not buy it. So they managed to suppress investigations that might stop 9/11 (now being investigated by a Republican congressman who is pissed as hell); they suppressed information that showed WMD were not in Iraq, etc. etc.
    And now, caught in their own web of lies, they are frantically attempting to avoid the noose which they themselves carefully placed around their necks. By the “values” they themselves practice (300 executions in Texas while W was guv), the penalty for treason is death. What they have done and are doing is treason.


  18. Brian Says:

    PNAC seems to assume there will be an infinite number of people to feed to the meat grinder. Isn’t Rumsfeld anti-nation building? Or is that his decoy?


  19. Davey a Says:

    Bill Kristol = douche bag


  20. Brendan O'Maidian Says:

    Looking into a crystal ball, we know that when Kristol and his ilk are tried and hanged for their treasons, it will be time to open a magnum of Cristal. Gawd, bless America!


  21. Richard McGinn Says:

    What Kristol doesn’t grasp is that Plamegate is a legal matter. It is moral and political only secondarily. In Kristol’s world, everything is political and moral. And so he keeps spinning and spinning about how the outing of Plame was morally trivial, and how its prosecution is politically motivated. He just doesn’t get what this is about, namely treason, which happens to be illegal, no matter how trivial the particular case, nor how politically convenient or inconvenient it turns out to be for everybody.


  22. big dave from queens Says:

    The 80% of us who are either lefties, progressives, liberals, moderates, or moderate/libertarians need to unite and peacefully do away with these 20% right wing religious conservatives who are the skum of the earth or if you are religious, Satan’s soldiers.

    by RogerART.com Feb, 2001

    To PROVE that MILLIONAIRES, in disproportionate numbers to the US Population,

    have Monopolized and bought the Government…

    Compare the numbers below.

    Approximately 286 million people make up the American Population.

    280 MILLION PEOPLE have LESS THAN ONE MILLION DOLLARS.

    6 MILLION PEOPLE have MORE THAN ONE MILLION DOLLARS.

    Yet in the bush family government most are MULTIMILLIONAIRES.

    Comparing these numbers is proof and confirms that

    Millionaires Overwhelm, WE the PEOPLE, in the Executive, Judicial and Legislative branches of Government

    and this is criminal.

    BUSH is a MULTI-MILLIONAIRE and part of a MULTI-MILLION Dollar Family Political Business

    CHENEY is a MULTI-MILLIONAIRE and OIL WAR PROFITEER with serious energy conflict of interests

    MOST ALL of the bush CABINET and APPOINTEES are MULTI-MILLIONAIRES

    6 of the 9 SUPREME COURT JUSTICES are MILLIONAIRES

    MORE THAN 100 people in the HOUSE and SENATE are MILLIONAIRES

  26. Bill N Says:

    #11 is dead on. People need to connect the dots and realize once and for all that these people do in fact have nothing in their character that makes it unthinkable that they would not orchestrate 9/11 and other false flag terror in order to manipulate the nation into a fascist police state. There is huge evidence for this, and respected commentators like Ray McGovern are speaking out about this. See David Ray Griffin’s ‘911 Report: Omissions and Distortions.’


  27. COWBOYNEOK Says:

    Yes, Bill Kristol… IT IS A CRIME and you need to pull your head out of your ass and realize CRIME and POLITICS are two separate things. For instance, you can LEGALLY smear someone WITHOUT RELEASING CLASSIFIED INFORMATION THAT DESTROYS OUR NATIONAL SECURITY!

    REPUBLICANS, like you “Mr.” Kristol, are the DOWNFALL of our nation.

    KRISTOL YOU ARE A PUNK!


  28. Freedom Says:

    Do not underestimate Billy Kristol. He is no fool nor is he “just another pundit”. Billy Kristol is also part of the “cabal” behind the Iraq Debacle. These days he is everywhere in the media doing what he is best at doing: “Framing the mindset of America”!

    By now, that should indeed be “Kristol Clear,/a>!

    from TvNewsLIES.org

    Bill Kristol is a master neocon, a heartless warmonger and an accomplished charlatan. But Bill Kristol works behind the curtain. He sets the stage and pulls the strings, while others do his dirty work. And Bill Kristol, with little fanfare or publicity, is one of the most influential architects of George W. Bush’s wars.

    To know the man, you have to look behind his overt persona. Bill Kristol makes no secret of his views or his philosophy. He has never hidden his affiliation with of the Project for a New American Century PNAC), of which he is a founder. And yet, when introduced to the public, he is never, ever connected to that organization. He is always presented as the editor of the Weekly Standard, as benign an introduction as can be.

    Neither Kristol nor the magazine is ever tied to PNAC by the corporate media. The dots are never connected. The truth is never told, and the facts behind the story remain hidden.

    Ask yourself why, in 5 years, have the media refused to mention PNAC, and why they have given the chairman (Kristol) of this organization a public forum without disclosing his PNAC connection? What are they hiding? Perhaps they are hiding many of the smoking guns related to 9/11, Afghanistan, Iraq, oil, the UN, reduced freedoms for Americans and plans for an American empire built upon a fascist regime! Think about it…Jesse, Editor

  31. Freedom Says:

    Here’s that cleaned up Bill Kristol link again. And of course he’s “Bill” not Billy as I called him above.

    That’s the weird thing, I think, with Kristol. He has such a sort of baby-face charm around him that for people who do not know him for what he is, he comes out as genuine and really caring about the good of this country. Even progressives often give him a pass on the outrageous things that he comes out with and dismiss him as just another shill of the administration. And that, I think, is a mistake.


  32. Freedom Says:

    Sorry LadyFrancesca! I was working on my 2nd post while you were posting yours and did not see that you already had excerpts.

    I’m glad we are at least two now “harping on” this!

    This pair, Rove and Libby, are like a “cartoon pair”, like Heckle & Jeckle, Mutt & Jeff, Frick & Frack, ect..They’ll be called “Skippy & Hippy” (Rove looked like one back in the day, and a guy who has a nick-name like “Scooter” well who cares, he’ll always be a “Skippy” to be) and they can be flushed down the same toilet as Turd DeFly (R) Sugarland TX. All one has to do is push the handle and away they go..!!

    William Kristol isn’t just a pundit or a favored conservative guest. William Kristol wrote the neocon manifesto. He’s the brain behind the whole operation. RE: Bush’s frequent comments that William Kristol is the greatest mind in America today.


  36. peggy Says:

    the “right” is revving up now to try to do major damage to Fitzgerald.

    What’s so sad is the MSM will air all of the crap from the right as if it was actual news and not some propaganda planted by the White House. The MSM must really think we’re stupid or THEY actually are stupid.

    All the talking heads on the right today were saying this was just a beltway story but wait til November 3.

    When it was Clinton, they called it a HIGH CRIME, now they’re dismissing it as irrelevant. Classic republican hypocrisy and relative moralism. They’re hateful stupid people!


  38. Thomas Braun Says:

    PNAC is a conspiracy to deceive the american people and to perpetrate offensive wars against sovereign nations and their people. Bill Kristol is a key player/architect in PNAC. It has always surprised me as to why PNAC is NEVER mentioned when he appears on any news program! How can such a person be respected and have any credibility as a commentator or pundit dealing with the bush administration? How can all MSM allow this farce to go on? How is it that not one host/anchor/commentator does not confront this radical ideologue and shove his sick ideology into his ugly face? The man is pompous and arrogant and I really dislike him. I would never associate with such a prick in my personal life. I always listen to what he says with a grain of salt. He is so very often disingenuous and a liar. I think from now on I will not watch the jerk when he is on TV. He disgusts me, to be frank.

    If you look at the list of people who are members of PNAC they are almost all Jews. I’m not an anti-Semite, but this correlation is very troubling. In WWII the Jews feared the Nazi Gentiles in Germany, and rightfully so. Perhaps today the Gentiles in the world should fear the fascist Jews in the U.S. and Israel. http://fixco1.com

    What PNAC REALLY stands for is “Piss-ants for a Nasty and Aggressive Con-job.. and who ever wrote it or was the founder of it is an idiot..!


  45. FuzzFlash Says:

    Zealots like Billy are as relentless as Terminator-Mark 1. He is brilliant at finessing rubes. His current mission, as ranking shill, is to 3-card-Monty the herd. Corral ‘em till the storm passes.
    Kristol is not responsive to to truth, good manners or reasoned argument. An effective counter strategy would be to spotlight Billy and spray him with short sharp bursts of his own words, on high rotation. All, but rusted on Republicans will wise up. How flawed must a Kristol be before the people see…… a forgazi?


  46. Doug Marshall Says:

    Fox News is the only network that would have a person like Bill Kristol. The sad thing is that those who watch Fox News see all this as hard news fact. At the same time they see the rest of the media as bias.

    Fox viewers watch the network because they hear what they want to hear. I often scan the different news stations and it amazes me how different Fox News is. Their new phrase in “criminalizing politics” when refering to the outing of a CIA agent. I don’t hear that phrase on any others news station.

    Basically, they have millions of blind sheep watching their network.


  47. Pete Bogs Says:

    DeLay is the sleazy powermonger who was censured three times for ethics violations… some of his indictments are related to those violations… DeLay is arrogant and GUILTY AS HELL… the liberal “conspiracy” is a pathetic smokescreen… their voters tend to buy whatever BS the party throws their way… sad people…

We’re never going to convince Fox and its sycophants that these guys are crooked and corrupt - but we don’t need to.

    Actually, outing a NOC is treasonous.

    Committing treason during a war, which the Bushites have told us, over and over again, we are, in fact, fighting, is punishable by an appearance before a firing squad.

  57. jb Says:

    Kristol is blowing smoke on this issue, and it is his job to do so. Question is, what is else is he blowing? I have always wondered if there is an ‘out’ to Bill Kristol, the in-est of insiders, it seems to me. They can McCarthy that sentiment, but considering the right-wings present efforts at rehabilitating the old bastard’s rep, that would seem a bit hypocritical. Too bad no one ever seems to notice their BS.

    I’ve been reading the MSM the last hour or so..and if I were “Skippy”, I’d be watching my back. Too many articles about him, hardly anything about Mr. Sewer Rat, Karl. Is it possible that the rodent, Karl, is getting people, that is, “former Bush officals” ( of course of present ruler, Emperior Dumbya) to have “Skippy” take more of the fall? Too much chatter about “Skippy” and his involvement in the leak case. Looks like the long knives are out…every sleseball for himself…!

  60. Texgotham Says:

    Mr. Kristol was one of the architects of the Iraq war as a member of the Project for the New American Century. So, do you think he would rent his clothes, pour ashes on his head and confess his sins? With all the sanctimonious crap about the sanctity of life these guys will ship the sons of the poor and the working stiff to die for the profits of a few. George Bernard Shaw was right: There will always be war as long as men will make six cents on the dollar.


  61. Jeanne Says:

    At least he didn’t accuse Ronnie Earl of giving money to Move on and that Move on put DeLay mug shot on tee shirts. That was just lame. The lawyer was basically shouting into a microphone “My client is guilty!” when he came up with that lame excuse for a strategy. “I have nothing to defend him with. The SOB is guilty as sin. He may as well pleed.”
    Kristol is basically doing the same thing. This kind of BS is destroying the Republican Party. And as far as I’m concerned it can go down in flames. Do Not Care.


  62. cee robin Says:

    What I don’t understand and what really,really bothers me is my people of the Jewish faith are helping these neo-cons. I remember that back in the 50’s and 60’s that Jews weren’t allowed to join certain golf clubs in my hometown of Flint, Michigan; not that my parents could’ve even afforded to join a country club. Believe it or not, not all Jewish people are rich. My parents were just working class.
    Anywho…I can’t understand why Wolfowitz(sic) and the other Jewish guys are helping the ‘the right wing fundementalists’,… unless they think they’re going to get a lot of help for Israel.It really pisses me off to think they would ’side’ with those Nazi pigs), I feel betrayed by my own ‘people’!
    In my opinion, Bush and his ilk are interested in the Jewish vote and the Jewish money.
    Be assured that there are still many of us that could never ever vote for a Republican (about 68%).


  63. R Michael Says:

    Perjury’s not a crime, says Kay Bailey Hutchinson. Bill Kristol tends to agree with her. Funny– this wasn’t what they were saying when Bubba Clinton was up for impeachment. That was a pursuit of justice, not the witchhunt it was, in their eyes. But when the shoes on the other foot…

    I want to see Karl Rove taken out of the White House in handcuffs this week. That would be sweet. And it wouldn’t be on a “technicality.” The man is a criminal– he’s stolen elections, he’s helped start a war based on lies and pure greed, and he endangered the national security of this country when he and Libby opened their fat mouths and blurted out the name of a top secret CIA agent. Clinton asked for oral sex; Rove and the rest of his troop have done so much more to hurt this nation. The indictment of Karl Rove, a guilty verdict from a jury of his peers, and a lengthy jail sentence IS justice for this nation that has lost its very meaning.

    Wake up, Kristol. Wake up, Hutchinson. Wake up, neocons. Wake up, Republicans. WAKE UP!

    Kristol should rename his magazine “The Double Standard”. In 1998 Bill thought that Clinton should be impeached for his technical definition of sex with Monica. That was a high crime while perjury, conspiracy and exposing a CIA agent is OK. The smell of hypocrisy is overwhelming.

    Kristol and Hutchison are loathesome hypocrites.


  72. loyal american Says:

    Every member of the PNAC cabal, including phony Christian Gary Bauer, have SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT motives. Bauer is like James Dobson. These are superdupes playing with wolves, the same exact way the clergy played with Hitler in the 1930’s. Dobson spends alot of time on the phone with Rove. The PNAC cabal uses Christianity as a cover the same way a wolf wears a lambskin.

    Make no such mistake my fellow loyal Americans. The PNAC cabal is just the tip of the iceburge. What is really going on is the set up to annihilate millions or billions of human beings who oppose the agenda of the top controllers. The PNAC players are nothing but dupes and payed shills. Some like poppy bush are pure gangsters. Others like Krystal are Neo-Trotskyites or whatever. But since 9-11, both they and their owners are mass killers. And it’s only going to get worse if everyone remain ignorant of them and tries to just wish it away. Hitler did not just go away. The top controllers, …the various Banksters etc, are not going away. They want to seal the fate of mankind using apocalyptic mass control and murder. Rather than allow mankind to continue to make progress or our Constitutional Republic to succeed in it’s great experiment. People who govern themselves. That’s what our opponants hate most. But they also hate mankind. A Satanic element also exists in the equation. Which essentially make ALL those who scheme our demize dupes themselves of a higher controller. Bob Dillon said it well… “you’re gonna hafta serve somebody”.

    But in the current tug of war between us and them, we should expect what Hitler, Stalin and Mao did when they were opposed. It’s all the same thing all over again. The top controllers are the same crime families that brought us the last century’s bloodbaths. What they have planned for this century makes the last look like a cub/brownie scout picnic by comparison. Just multiply all the coming genocides planned by a factor of at least 100. …Well into the billion or multibillion range. PNAC is just a minor functionary scam, one among many, to facilitate their final solution for mankind. Hightech Feudalism worldwide. Them in luxery and privalage. An enforcer class to run the global control grids. And a peon class to be the miners, farmers and various other slaves. That’s their agenda because they are already mass murderers. To avoid justice they can never stop killing. 9-11 was a step up in the tempo. Worse is on the way. Unless we stop that as combined humanity to save what we are as mankind. We define what we are by how much of the wickedness going on we will take. In Russia and China they destroyed human civilization in-mass. We have to defend our USA. For our kids and for what’s good. To hell with evil.


  73. John Appleseed Says:

    Let’s not overlook the fact that the networks, in this case Fox, which give Kristol a soap box to stand on are themselves nothing more than for-profit, propaganda organizations.


  74. cee robin Says:

    Ryan Neat, you surely are.
    Joni, I’ve felt exactly the same way about all of this since I saw Bush on CNN at a campaign saying “If I get elected, I’m going to make
    Social Security a federal agency”. I knew right then, he was stupid and the only way he could’ve got an MBA was that his Dad either paid for it or had the files ‘installed’, as head of the CIA.
    By the way, I saw it only once on TV. Can you believe that?


  75. Paul 3 Says:

    Jon Stewart had a go at him last night. Catch the re-run tomorrow. It’s good.


  76. Samarkand Says:

    Right now the spin is nothing short of hilarious. Granted, lunatic hilarious, but funny none the less. According to Fox (the Voice of the Crazed Right) ALL OF THIS is the fault of…. Joe Wilson. Joe Wilson? “He Lied!” they are trying to cry out. then they go on, “Besides, this prosecution is not about a CIA Agents name being leaked, because that is not the problem…” Oh, their spin is dizzying. They continue, “The Prosecution is about a conspiracy, and that IS impossible to Prove!” I think it was Hannity last night claiming all this. Spin, spin, spin until eventually the listeners are dizzy and light headed. “Joe Wilson is the Liar! He should be prosecuted!” and on, and on, they blow hot air out all their orifices.


  77. bro.tex Says:

    Lil’Billy just gets his views from his daddy, Irving Kristol, who taught at the U of Chicago, which is THE chickenhawk hatchery with Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Perle, Ahmed Chalabi,Scooter Libby and others being disciples of Leo Strauss’and Alan Blooms’ neo-con BS teachings. I can’t stand the sight of weasel-faced Billy Kristol ,the shady bastard.


  78. Chicago crew Says:

    The reason that William Kristol is not worried about saying these laughable things is that he understands how much trouble he is going to be in very soon.
    He is beginning to develop the means by which his Cabal will evade American justice. (see below link for key players)

    http://www.csmonitor.com/ specials/ neocon/ index.html?s=entg2

    This scandal will be the greatest in all of American political history. Kristol is at the very center of this scandal and his neocon allies are smart enough to know Fitzgerald will eventually come knocking.

    When I think about Bush, in many ways he was taken advantage of by the neocons. They used their understanding of his and Cheney’s basic sensibilities (Greed and Cronyism), to spin the white house into a theft driven ideological trance towards proxy wars for Israel. In the bigger picture this nuance may not matter, but however you slice it heads are going to roll. The real question is whether it’s W’s or the neocons. As this all shakes out, you will eventually see the real power in our Republic forced to openly assert itself.

    Wow! is there some big shit coming.

    http://frwebgate5.access.gpo.gov/ cgi-bin/ waisgate.cgi?WAISdocID=30513971070+0+0+0&WAISaction=retrieve

    bush pushed the deficit to over 8t, his 5 year budget adds another 1.5t

    so, he gets a 5 year projected surplus, steals a little here, takes a little there, and is gonna leave us nearly 10t in debt, gee, thanks george


  80. Don Phelps Says:

    Both Fox news and the Weekly Standard is owned by Rupert Murdoch. Roger Ailes runs Fox and gets his orders every morning from Dick Cheney. Roger then programs O’Reilly and Hannity. Ed Gillespie calls Rush Limbaugh and programs him. Incidently, Bill Kristol is about four feet six inches.


  81. cee robin Says:

    Hey Chris Fick,
    I tried to use your website to contact you, but I got a box saying I had to have something called a Microsoft Passport, what is that all about?
    Anywho I just wanted to say I am a Jewish woman, but I agree with you. What in the hell are all of those Jewish men doing siding with fundamentalists pricks who just a few decades ago wouldn’t even let a Jew join their country clubs? Whether it’s money or Israel…those guys are the ‘bad apples’. With our history and the fact that Hitler blamed Jewish people for the problems in Germany, you’d think ‘my people’ could understand this..
    …As I’m typing this I’m watching Chris Matthews(egomaniac) sticking up for the radical right…He says “after all these are the people who got Bush elected”,(as if the elections weren’t rigged) and
    “they deserve to get the supreme court justice of their
    choice”. Matthews is such a
    kiss ass..I guess what’s
    important to him in the Supreme
    Court is that it’s FAIR that
    the radical right gets a judge
    that will overturn Roe! Why in
    the hell doesn’t he just get a
    job at Faux news? Hey, O’Reilly
    and Matthews could have a show
    and invite someone they disagree with, stick the guest between the two of them, do their usual rant and render
    the guest deaf…Every night
    they could do this, til virtually no one would dare criticize them
    for fear of losing their hearing!


  82. Bruce Goodrich Says:

    Where is Bill Clinton in all this and how about Hillary? At least Jimmy Carter came out against the war. We can tie Bill’s pardon of Marc Rich (Scooter Libby’s former client) to Rich’s wife, a major contributor to the Clinton library. And what about Hillary - still waiting to hear her objections to the Iraq war but she needs support from her wealthy Jewish supporters. She is probably getting support from the same group that paid that WMD cheerleader Judith Miller. Don’t think the editors of the “NY Times” didn’t know what she was doing. Let’s see if Harry Reid and Jay Rockefeller can pull this one off. Don’t expect much help from Chuck Schumer.
