I can’t really see what all the excitement is about either. Bush apparently has, as did other presidents, the power to declassify whatever he wants to.

What I’d like to see wrapped up is are we ever going to have anyone charged with leaking Plame’s identity? Was her identity, in fact, leaked?

Bucket’s Got a Hole In It…

Bill Clinton played loose with language when he claimed he “did not have sexual relations with that woman,” but that hardly compares to parsing the line of treason with a White House bucket that’s leaking from the top down.

jason, i can empathizeâ€¦with each new revelation and indictment, i can enjoy a slight feeling of relief but, like you say, take no pleasure in even being able to say â€œi told you soâ€, and so i donâ€™t – it hurts too much knowing and watching the effects that this mis-administration is having on the country, and that my kids and their kids will be cleaning it all up for a long timeâ€¦

katy,

This is PRECISELY why they (Bushites and their masters)…

…must be held accountable…

…future generations of Americans (who will be adversely affected by this administration’s criminal negligence) need to understand…

…that there are consequences of the harshest kind to be paid…

…for corruption, mass murder, war profiteering, incompetence, misinformation/mendacity, and TREASON…

…especially from elected officials and society’s elite…

…think about it…

…if this society penalizes (with loss of liberty, property and reputation) those authority figures who misuse their positions of “trust” and power…

…for say “seducing” underlings, students, wards, or other subordinates to commit criminal acts of a sexual or other nature…

…then why shouldn’t these Bushites be held accountable for “luring” our military to commit acts of barbarism and murder under false pretenses…

…or convincing the public that paying oil companies record profits for nothing more than to line their cronies’ pockets with our hard earned money…

…or rewarding their defense contractor cronies with taxpayer dollars for destruction-reconstruction-destruction- and on and on…

…shouldn’t THEY be held to- at the very least- the same standard?

…you da*n right they should!

Bushiva, L’il Dick and their criminal corporate co-conspirators must NOT be allowed to ride off into the sunset with their ill-gotten gains intact…

#172 And just another thing. Even if it’s true that George Clooney has a CI of 83, I’m sure he has earned far more money than you and has kissed Julia Roberts, and not once. And now, he directs good movies. Hmmm, sounds as a winner.

Your assets? “I work in a cubicle, I hate homosexuals, non-WASPs, foreigners, not-fascists like me, and I’m angry at people who doesn’t like my retrograde ideas (?)”, as you might say. Not a winner, definitively. A whiner, yes.

Sorry, but I have very clear who to admire and who don’t. And you’re not the former one.

#172 – iri,
You sure you got the right guy. George Bush is the gay with an IQ about 83 – but the last time I heard, it was actually 81. Last names must confuse you. Does Gannon ring a bell by any chance?

I wish I had an outlet for having practiced my French after college. But no one here really speaks much except for English, and Spanish is catching on.

Clooney is gay with an IQ of 83. As a modern Spaniard I’m sure you approve of whatever he says.

He’s become quite a hero around Hollywood too. I think a lot of poeple still don’t take him seriously because he’s stilla relatively young, great looking, playboy actor. I think with serious roles like these and some more grey hair, he mightfind a future in politics…

I’m interested to see what he will do next. Hard to top an Academy Award, but I’m sure he will manage :)

I saw Saving Private Ryan in Antwerp. The movie was in English with French subtitles. I kept laughing, because someone would say something crude, but teh French subtitles would be a very proper and polite interpretation. Has to be a good way to improve your language skills I would imagine. I wish I had an outlet for having practiced my French after college. But no one here really speaks much except for English, and Spanish is catching on.

#167 Yes. Some years in the future, the current time would be seen as a very special one. I hope that the world would remember the whole dimension and the evil of the actual Republican GOP, and call them by their true names. But I fear that, at least some people, will remember the Bush II rule as a golden dream of righteousness and political wit, as do today many people with the Reagan years.

And yes, I’ve seen “Good Night and Good Luck”. A masterwork, as I see it. Maybe too polite in political critic, but I know it’s the mood in your country. I even saw it in the original english language (as a norm, in our country, the most of the movies are translated to spanish, but here, in Barcelona, we have too some theathers who exhibit always the movies in their original language). I plan to see “Syriana”, too, but I don’t know if it is in the showing, yet, or I would wait for the DVD… Decidedly, I like more every day George Clooney standing on politics…

Two questions will solve this whole matter relative to the criminal TRAITOR Bushiva’s role in this Plamegate Affair:

1) Is it illegal (pursuant to the law signed by Bush 41) to reveal the name of an actively covert CIA operative?

2) Did Bushiva give Libby (thru Cheney) the okay to divulge Valerie Plame-Wilson’s name to the press?By a preponderance of the evidence (no matter how circumstantial) the answer to number two is an emphatic YES!

…as to number two…

…I’ll leave that to the “legal cognoscenti”…

As you say, the original communism is very uthopian, and surely has few chances of existing in the present world, but brandishing (derogatively) someone with the motto â€œcommunistâ€, for example, only because he thinks that some social coverage to poor/dissabled/veteran people is ok, itâ€™s a bit too much.

Comment by Any Troll â€” April 7, 2006 @ 11:50 am

Did you see ‘Good Night and Good Luck”? In retrospect it’s hard to believe it was a true period in our history. That McCarthy was that extreme and was getting away with a witch hunt. I can’t imagine, in 50 – 75 -100 years from now, when people look back upon this current epoch, that they won’t be amazed that this phase occured as well. It’s truly on the verge of being a modern Dark Ages of Politics.

By the way, you don’t sound like a troll to me.

#154 That’s the idea: theorethically many ideologies are great, but when applied by some people under some circunstances, and with some modifications of his own, become “bad”, but I think that it’s not the fault of the original ideology. As you say, the original communism is very uthopian, and surely has few chances of existing in the present world, but brandishing (derogatively) someone with the motto “communist”, for example, only because he thinks that some social coverage to poor/dissabled/veteran people is ok, it’s a bit too much.

If Bush is “scary smart” as you claim, and he as the president has the authority to declassify information, then why would he LIE and say he had no idea who could’ve done it and condemn the person(s) that allegedy leaked the information in the first place? When it comes to Bush’s intellegence, you’re only half right.

It wasn’t declassified until July 18. The leak happened on July 8.

Leaking is not declassifying. Surely Mr. York can understand that, though I’m sure he’ll pretend that he doesn’t.
