SO WHAT IS THE UPSHOT OF ALL THIS? McClellan’s publisher is going to make a crap load of money off of all this whipped up publicity. Will Rove or anyone in the Bush White House serve a jail sentence for any of what they have done?

Now that Scotty has shown that telling the truth regains a measure of credibility, it should prove fascinating to see who else grows a conscience. I bet the inner circle is buying Xanax by the carload.

I hate the thoughts that are going through my head due to these relevations. I’m wondering if Fitzgerald was threatened with firing if he indicted Rove. I remember a reporter from Truthout actually posted online that Rove HAD been indicted and that there were several WH witnesses to back him up. The next day we heard nothing. Then the next day and the next. Then finally Fitzgerald announced there wasn’t enough evidence to indict Rove. (which almost never happens after 5 Grand Jury appearances.)

I also remember that a Justice Dept official claimed before the Senate that Fitzgerald’s name had been mentioned when they were deciding who to fire. Call me paranoid, but I’m very suspicious.

When he found out who was actually responsible for leaking classified information Bush went from firing anyone who was involved to firing anyone who committed a crime.

Rove should have been fried. He will be sooner then he wants. Hell grants no pardons.

As McClellan notes, “the bar was moved” by President Bush

Pres Bush, moving the goalposts? That has never happened.

Pres Bush has always been about “staying the course”, until he said “we’ve never been staying the course”.

I am shocked to read this. Shocked!

Wow. So it is a four letter word that starts with a and ends witl l which freaks em out even when it is part of a larger word. Good to know next time I have to discuss any of the staff I am wordlikeassish about

I got bagged for this the other day. I am still not sure why…

I think Daryll has more of an Andy Kauffman thing going rather than Belushi.
I am a little concerned that our friend is being talked around rather than engaged in what seems a very constructive discussion of his works.
Daryll, for real, you know I totally support you. Feel free to jump in. I know it is unsettling to be the topic of such wordlikebuttlysis but I really think this is all good.

“If anyone in this administration was involved in it, they would no longer be in this administration,” McClellan said, “I think the president should have stood by the word that we said

I wondered at the time if that meant a new VP, but now it seems like to be ‘true to your word’ Bush should resign.

It looks like the highest government officials were lying. It looks like information that was classified was used strictly for political gain and possibly damaged National Security. Can we trigger moderation of that?

I encourage the discussion of moderation to be moved to the zoo

I’m certain there are other triggers for moderation, that’s the only one I know.

How did W. start out wanting to restore honor and dignity to the White House and end up scraping all the honor and dignity off the White House?

i have no idea, guys… didn’t use that word at all, nevar…

but this line in her piece cracked my up:

Katy… at least one trigger for moderation is a word containing the letter A, followed by an N, another A, and finally an L.
Any word with these letters in conjunction gets moderated, and does not show as a post.

Try posting the words Anna List and Ann Al Oh Gee as they are properly spelled, and you will see!
