merry Fritzmas…
get Rove!
October 28th, 2005 at 1:23 pmNow, when will Cheney resign? At the least, when will Mr. Cheney fully and openly answer questions about every aspect of this investigation. When will he apologize to the Wilsons?
October 28th, 2005 at 1:25 pmBye Scooter!
1 down, 85 more to go.
October 28th, 2005 at 1:26 pmIt’s the honorable thing to do. Next…
October 28th, 2005 at 1:27 pmA bottle of champagne for every indictment! Whoo hoo!
October 28th, 2005 at 1:33 pmBoy are we going to be hung over…
And no Supreme Court nominee this week, duh. Bush is probably freaking out.
I’m waiting for NED’s post on here… I’ve figured out something about that poster, too… NED looks at the truth and writes the EXACT OPPOSITE in his posts… that’s the only way to explain NED’s comments… the ultimate contrarian…
October 28th, 2005 at 1:35 pmBye bye Scootie. I hope you like prison food. Just don’t drop the soap when you’re in the showers.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
October 28th, 2005 at 1:38 pmnow he’ll have more time to write bad novels.
October 28th, 2005 at 1:41 pmIn the wake of Libby’s indictment, we might want to recall the words of Kay Bailey Hutchison in explaining her vote to convict President Clinton of obstruction of justice at his Senate impeachment trial:
“In many ways, obstruction of justice is even more corrosive than perjury to the machinery of our legal system. . . . It is an affirmative act that occurs at the person’s own initiative . . . . It involves actions taken that were not instigated by anyone else. . .
“The edifice of American jurisprudence rests on the foundation of the due process of law. The mortar in that foundation is the oath. Those who seek to obstruct justice weaken that foundation, and those who violate the oath would tear the whole structure down.
“Every day, thousands of citizens in thousands of courtrooms across America are sworn in as jurors, as grand jurors, as witnesses, as defendants. On those oaths rest the due process of law upon which all of our other rights are based.
“The oath is how we defend ourselves against those who would subvert our system by breaking our laws. There are Americans in jail today because they violated that oath. Others have prevailed at the bar of justice because of that oath.
“What would we be telling Americans-and those worldwide who see in America what they can only hope for in their own countries-if the Senate of the United States were to conclude: The President lied under oath as an element of a scheme to obstruct the due process of law, but we chose to look the other way?
“I cannot make that choice. I cannot look away. I vote “Guilty” on Article I, Perjury. I vote “Guilty” on Article II, Obstruction of Justice.”

October 28th, 2005 at 1:46 pm#10 – I’m sure she will hold the same standard in this case. Ok, I just cracked myself up and sprayed pop on the screen.
October 28th, 2005 at 2:21 pmWhere would all of you put Libbey in the deck of cards?
I put Bush as my Ace of assholes, Cheney as his Queen and of course Rove, as a joker or wild card.
October 28th, 2005 at 2:42 pmhmmm…#12 – i think i’d have to reverse the cheney and rove choices…at least, for sure the queen is rove…no offense intended to anyone but rove.
October 28th, 2005 at 3:21 pminteresting to see neocons stressing “innocent until proven guilty” in this case… only when the accused is one of their own… lying SOBs!
October 28th, 2005 at 4:20 pm#13,
October 28th, 2005 at 5:06 pmYes, I probably could have reversed those two. How about Cheney as Queen of Spades, like the one he is going to have shoved up his whoha after all of this is said and done, and Rove Queen of Hearts?
