Freakin’ amazing! There’s got to be SOMEONE at TIME who isn’t in Bush’s pocket.
April 2nd, 2007 at 6:47 pmIt’s TIME. I expect nothing.
April 2nd, 2007 at 6:49 pmI knew Time had something right. He acted legally within his rights-case should be closed, but the witch hunt continues.
April 2nd, 2007 at 7:15 pmThe last time I read a copy of Time magazine was it the doctors office. They put them out in the waiting room to make sure you get sick.

Obviously you didn’t get the shots for that rabies, you’re foaming at the mouth.
April 2nd, 2007 at 7:26 pmYou guys understand bleating bunny speak?
April 2nd, 2007 at 7:27 pmTime = Bush’s Poodle
April 2nd, 2007 at 7:39 pmThe people will boycott Time magazine and put them out of operation for NOT bringing “time”-ly news….hahaha! Fools!
April 2nd, 2007 at 7:40 pmIt was a sad day for me when I cancelled my Time subscription. I could not remember a time in my entire life (50+ years) when Time did not come to my home. But its news coverage has become sketchy at best, and its right wing bias blatantly obvious. It’s useless now as a source of news. Thank heaven for Think Progress.

Something about this troll sounds familiar… did Jake get hisself a shiny new pseudonym?
April 2nd, 2007 at 7:55 pmwhen he wasnt holding them together, Hatch’s hands were shaking. what had him so tense?
also–Leahy declined to call him a liar after one outrageous statement–Leahy noted when asked about the comment that it was April Fool’s Day.
Hatch should look at the polls, only the gooper tps agree that this is the democrats playing politics.
Orrin is angry not about the Constitution and the Rpublic, but about the collapse of his conspiracy and the possibility a co-conspirator would fold.
The Bush coup was funded and orgaized by megacorp power and the megacorps’ servants in Interior, Justice, the WH, and the relevant COngressional “oversight†comittees.
Why would Orrin be outraged at the success of his work to give Big Energy and Big Mining a free pass to loot public lands?
Why would Orrin be outraged about the activites of his mentees Kyle Sampson (or US Atty for DC Taylor)? Orrin – serving the energy/mining megacorps – helped groom Sampson and Taylor for their positions in order to help the megacorps who own him.
Orrin’s tremors are those of a Senator closely associated with proteges who actively conspired to obstruct justice and to provide false testimony to the Senate – while Orrin attended the testimony
Orrin is looking at the very real prospect of ending his career disgraced and convicted.
His hands shake from fear; his anger is only about his own personal destruction.
He long ago ceased to care about the destruction of our public lands, Justice Dept, or Republic.
No wonder he’s sucking for AG – still thinks he can save the cover-up.
Too late, Bishop Hatch.
Hope Christy and y’all will forgive a (partial!) repost on Hathch’s proximity to obstruction of justice and directing a witness to lie to Congress – in this case, the Senate.
The context is the seemingly complex case involving extraction of mnerals/oil/gas/resoucres from either Native American lands and/or US public lands (under Dept of Ag (Forest Service) or Dept of Interior).
This scandal is so deep that Abu adroitly used his current troubles to further serve his megacorp masters – and did it below the radar.
Abu did so when he stiffed last week’s Congressional hearing on the public lands fraud. Even a dim bulb like Abu gets “Teapot Domeâ€.
Lots of background on this multi hundred billion (that’s multiple “$100 Billionsâ€) bill owed to the US Treasury – owed to us taxpayers – by Cheney/Bush/Hatch’s owners in Big Energy/Mning/Timber may be found here.
Even more from Wampum and Indianz.
Follow the money.

Oh – and Kyle Sampson – Abu’s chief of staff? Remember him? And the 122 times he couldn’t?
Well – no one asked him on Thursday – and he prolly wouldn’t remember – but reliable Kyle did remember to conspire to commit Federal crimes against the Cobell plaintiffs.
And he even remembered to commit them.
When the Senate insisted on testimony on the Cobell accounting crimes at DOI from the Federal Special Trustee For American Indians (Tom Slonaker), Griles, Norton, and then advisor to the President Kyle Sampson ordered Slonaker to lie to the Senate by changing his written testimony.
After Slonaker showed up in person and testified honestly despite the Griles / Norton / Sampson conspiracy to obstruct justice and provide false testimony to Congress, Sampson (from Bush) and Griles (from Interior) fired Slonaker.
Wampum had the story:

April 2nd, 2007 at 10:01 pmYeah, well, TIME also has William Kristol on staff. ugggh, war-mongering, NEOCON, SCUM.
April 2nd, 2007 at 10:26 pmTIME FOR TIME(tm) TO BE FLUSHED DOWN THE CRAPPER OF SELL-OUT MSM WHO HAVE BECOME CHIMPya’s LAPDOGS, ARF, ARF!!!!!
April 2nd, 2007 at 11:45 pmPOOR Henry Luce, HE’S TURNING OVER IN HIS GRAVE!!!!!
Is this what America surrendered Habeas Corpus for? So the decider could wave a wand and cough up a deal.
This could backfire on Howard on appearances alone.
It also sets a bad example for future trials as everyone will expect a sweetheart deal along the lines of what Hicks received.
April 2nd, 2007 at 11:52 pmRapid bunny is giving rabbits a bad name.
George Bush managed to get a bad law passed by swearing that he had no intention of abusing it, and then once it was passed proceeded to make a mockery out of his promises and respect for law and justice. The congress was right to strip the president of those powers. GWB firing those prosecutors is a promotion of politics over justice at best, and a criminal action at worst.
