ok… let’s rip on condi’s visit to canada instead… maybe we should have sent karen hughes…
“The Toronto Star newspaper noted Monday that Rice visited 39 countries, traveled 167,366 miles and spent 357 hours in the air ‘before making the 90-minute hop to Ottawa.’”

this, from the same wapo article…
“Pollster Michael Adams said Canadian views of the United States this month are the most unfavorable he has seen in 25 years. His findings coincide with the results of a survey of 17,000 Canadians in June by the Pew Research Center in which 53 percent viewed Americans as ‘rude, greedy and violent.’”
October 26th, 2005 at 11:51 amAnd Canada is our biggest trading partner and our closest friends, after all, they are just like the us here in the U.S. If any country is a good indicator of how much Bush has messed up our image abroad, Canada would be the place to look. They get all our cable news programs and are aware of what kind of crap is going on in this country. So if 53% viewed us as greedy, rude and violent…then ummm, we better worry about what direction this country is going.
October 26th, 2005 at 11:59 amWe may hear by Friday and yes Canada has a very dim view of America. rice is put foreign policy under her belt for 2008 or to replace cheney with. I for one don’t see her leaving Washington in 2008.
October 26th, 2005 at 12:01 pmI nearly broke my leg sprinting downstairs when I heard the CNN “breaking news” jingle.
Only to have another false start.
Could I file a suit against St. Patrick for causing me so much stress? Anyone else, we could make it a class action…
Meantime, the HR work continues…New on EWM: White House Sets Job Fair
October 26th, 2005 at 12:02 pmIt’s just one source saying “none today.” In a 1/2 hour, the Washington Post will be reporting “sealed indictments have been filed” or someoneelse. Don’t accept everything CNN gets as gospel. It may just be a diversion from the GOP
October 26th, 2005 at 12:06 pmHaha… Muse, you sound exactly like me sometimes, sprinting to the TV when you think you hear big news coming on! Good to know I’m not alone. :)
October 26th, 2005 at 12:11 pmCnn? What is that? Oh … tv ‘news’.
October 26th, 2005 at 12:14 pmSwore off that years ago.

Glad your getting the SPAM out there Dennis. Learn how to spell and maybe you’ll get some more t-shirt sales.
October 26th, 2005 at 12:23 pmProsecutor in leak case seeks indictments against Rove, Libby, lawyers close to case say
Jason Leopold and John Byrne “Raw Story”
Special Prosecutor Patrick J. Fitzgerald has asked the grand jury investigating the outing of CIA operative Valerie Plame Wilson to indict Vice President Dick Cheney’s chief of staff I. Lewis “Scooter†Libby and Bush’s Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove on charges of perjury and obstruction of justice, lawyers close to the investigation tell RAW STORY.
Fitzgerald has also asked the jury to indict Libby on a second charge: knowingly outing a covert operative, the lawyers said. They said the prosecutor believes that Libby violated a 1982 law that made it illegal to unmask an undercover CIA agent.
Libby’s attorney, Joseph A. Tate, did not return a call seeking comment.

Two other officials, who are not employees in the White House, are also expected to face indictments, the lawyers said.
Those close to the investigation said Rove was offered a deal Tuesday to plead guilty to perjury for a reduced charge. Rove’s lawyer was told that Fitzgerald would drop an obstruction of justice charge if his client agreed not to contest allegations of perjury, they said.
Rove declined to plead guilty to the reduced charge, the sources said, indicating through his attorney Robert Luskin that he intended to fight the charges. A call placed to Luskin was not returned.
Those familiar with the case said that Libby did not inform Rove that Plame was covert. As a result, Rove may not be charged with a crime in leaking Plame’s identity, even though he spoke with reporters.
A Wall Street Journal report Wednesday suggests Fitzgerald’s primary focus is Cheney’s office. An L.A. Times story last week indicated that Libby mounted an “aggressive campaign” against Joseph Wilson, the husband of the outed CIA agent, who questioned the Administration’s claims that Iraq sought to obtain uranium from Niger.
Richard Sale, a former UPI intelligence reporter, wrote on his blog Wednesday that two White House officials were likely to be indicted, citing federal law enforcement and senior intelligence officials. Sale was the first to finger Pentagon analyst Larry Franklin in the Israel-AIPAC espionage case.
Rove’s charges appear to stem from allegations that he lied to FBI investigators in 2003, the sources said. Perjury and obstruction charges leveled against Libby center around conflicting testimony to the grand jury, they added.
The lawyers said Fitzgerald needed more evidence to convince the grand jury that Plame was in fact an undercover agent. On Monday, he sent FBI agents to her residential neighborhood to obtain testimony from neighbors that they were unaware of Plame’s employment prior to her outing.
Evidence collected in these inquiries was aimed at convincing the jury that she was covert, the lawyers said. A Reuters story indicated that Plame’s neighbors were not aware that she was working at the agency.
The indictments, said to be under seal, are expected to be handed down today or Thursday. It is unclear how much information Fitzgerald will make public when they are announced.

And your main purpose seems to be whoring for your own site. Perhaps you could take a hint and go away.
