Some of you may remember why I came here in the first place, but it really doesn’t matter.

To be a TROLL? Yea, what’s changed?

I’ve actually directed several psychology students here so they can peer into a mindset they may not have been aware of before.

LOL professor…
… Do your students know who that TROLL Tim Vacuum-licker is?

What you dimwits haven’t figured out is that by voting down my comments you are actually INCREASING the times they get read.

People are naturally curious so when they see the statement “This comment has been voted down. Click to read.” what do you think they will do, hmmmm?

Good!
Then people can see how lame your comments are.

Exactly. In addition, have any of the hosts put it together that Liz is ardently defending something that she shouldn’t know anything about (criminal), or she’s just a woman blindly defending her daddy, and therefore shouldn’t be getting all of this exposure. (Once again, ‘liberal MSM my arse!)

Smith added that the importance of informing Congress is because of the need for checks and balances.

It’s nice to know that at least *someone* in our government once took a US History lesson. Now if only Mr. Rove and Mr. Cheney had as well…

Can someone explain to me how come Cheney’s daughter knows so much about what happened ?

The only explanation I can see is if Cheney was divulging classified information to her. Information that was so classified that they couldn’t even be revealed to Congress.

After Tim Vacuous said his comments get more reads because people can’t resist opening them to see what they say, I opened his comments JUST TO VOTE THEM DOWN AGAIN.

No idea what they said. ;)

From Fitzgerald’s Sentencing Memorandum to Judge Walton:

“[I]t was clear from very early in the investigation that Ms. Wilson qualified under the relevant statute (Title 50, United States Code, Section 421) as a covert agent whose identity had been disclosed by public officials, including Mr. Libby, to the press.”

The vote up/vote down system is a karma system. If the number displayed is positive, you have a net positive karma.

If you see a negative number, its a net negative karma number. At -10, you become a member of the Republican Party.

Pals around with domestic terriers says:

True enough on both counts. Certainly it is frightening. It is the executive branch saying there is NO oversight function for Congress no role at all in fact. It is the executive branch claiming they are a dictatorship and NO ONE can tell them what they can and can not do. Pretty much the typical Bush administration arrogance.

Since the program was leaked to the Wall Street Journal by two
former intelligence officials, I sincerely hope they have some
kind of whistleblower protection.

I’m glad I don’t have to read stupid comments from timmeth or any other troll.

Why is the “vote up” not next to its count?

What the repugs’ fools seem to miss about the cia controlled under buckshot’s and his hit squad is that it doesn’t matter whether or not it was used…TAXPAYER’S MONEY was spent on chimpy’s cowboy, illegal whims and congress holds the purse strings.

Unfortunately, it seems that even with the Vote Down feature, an industrious troll can still hijack a thread. Over 100 posts, and most of them are about Valerie Plame, who really has nothing to do with the original post. To me, this Cheney quote was chilling:

“It is so dangerous to give congress information.”

Seven little words that completely encapsulate the mindset of the Cheney/Bush administration. That sentence reeks of arrogance and hubris. It is the antithesis of the whole idea of representative democracy and shows total contempt for the Constitution. I can’t wait for AG Holder to name the special prosecutor.

P.S. to Tim Vacuous: It’s true that everyone is entitled to their own opinion. It’s when you start insisting on living in your own reality that medical professionals need to become involved for your own safety.

Hey, I just realized another good use for the vote down option.

Any day I feel like I haven’t had my dose of CRAZY I can just edit the posts by most popular – and all the crazies will settle to the bottom.

I haven’t been paying attention to this story as closely as I should, but I just don’t understand all the whining from the left about this Cheney and intelligence BS.

Everyone seems to be forgetting that Cheney is part of Congress. There is no need to tell the others.

EugeneDebs,

Heh -yep, it’s about time to get the new Limbaugh’s Talking Points Of The Day. One of which probably is that Sotomayor eats White children for breakfast, or something just as idiotic…
