The Clarke episode is symptomatic of a systematic abuse of power. Reality is raw and dangerous to report - better to laugh along.

I'm certainly laughing at you, Sidney ol' girl.

Dear God I love this White House.

This is the whiniest piece of propoganda I've read today. Does Blumenthal at all mention how many mysterious "deaths" surround the Clintons? Nah. Of course not. What does "death" mattter when stacked up against "intimidators". Oh, Piffle.

Bush's latest abuse of power fails to rouse the Washington media

Yawn........

Another drama queen squealing like a stuck pig.

Good, old Sid Vicious

[Southack]

"Sidney Blumenthal was senior adviser to President Clinton and is Washington bureau chief of Salon.com"

What a resume. Besides losing his lawsuit against Drudge, old snake-eyed Blumenthal "Advised" Clinton, a President who failed to pass a single of his campaign initiatives in 8 years in office.

And then there is Salon. It is insolvent.

And there, in a nutshell, is Sidney's career.

[umgud]

Clarke is the most important and wisest man that ever walked the face of the earth. Had Bush just followed his advice, 9-11 would never have happened. We wouldn't have gone to war......... and Clarke wouldn't have written a book........and Sidney would be ragging on Bush for something else.

The panel blinked.
No testimony, private or public, from anybody in the White House if Dr. Rice testified.

Too bad, so sad. Can't go fishing for a Watergate. It ain't there.


BWAAHHAHHAHAHH!

[lilylangtree]

Sidney's mad and I'm glad,
And I know how to please her.
Give her ink to make her stink
and let little Ketchupman
squeeze her.

Remember, this is the guy who exited his Grand Jury interview, and held a press conference to tell about all the salacious questions Starr dared ask him. Of course, when Congress released the Starr report, it demonstrated that he had lied about the whole thing, and that he was asked none of the questions he claimed.

I thought a picture of Sidney would be a nice accompaniment to your article. ;)

Dear Sydney,

"Bush's latest abuse of power fails to rouse the Washington media"

Up a little too late writing the latest tirade in the Guardian? Did you think for even a minute how utter stupid this line is coming from one of BILL CLINTON'S advisor's? As a Senior Advisor to an Administration who's only lasting accomplishment was to raise the politics of personal destruction to a high art form, it is absurd for you to be accusing ANYONE of abuse of power. Let us see, a partisan critic launches a clearly personal campaign of half truths and slanders against the Bush Administration
and the Bush Administration is suppose to NOT respond? And when they DO respond to defend themselves in your demented little world Bush is "abusing power"? I can only conclude you were either drunk or stoned when you wrote this drivel.

It is precisely these sort of hysteric foaming at the mouth tirades at the Bush Administration by supposed leaders of the Democratic Party which demonstrate quite clearly to the average American voter just how unfit the current leaders of the Democratic Party are for ANY measure of ANY political power at ANY level.

You left off the gag alert.

Sidney Blumenthal. Lame. 'Nuff said!

Next!

"The implicit deal that the press thought it had with the Bush White House, as with previous White Houses, has been broken-unilaterally, like other policies." Clinton used to get the press together and say off the record, "yeah I killed him and China pays the Bill, as a matter of fact I F---ed'M all."

[woofer]

from the "Bush White House leadership" that was "adept at revenge".

I think, dear Sid, that if any one would know about a "White House leadership" that was "adept at revenge", it would be you, Sid.

From your days at the heels of Hillary! (tm) when you and your fun-lovin' buddies would trash peoples lives to save your master's and mistress's weak reputations.

"Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction - the rationale for the war -"

You gotta give the Demorats credit for one thing, they know how to keep repeating the same lie, over and over.

[Nita Nupress]

In the preface of his book Against All Enemies, Clarke wrote that he expected an assault on his reputation from the "Bush White House leadership" that was "adept at revenge".

Wow. If that's not projection, I don't know what is.

In fact, that's the best example I've seen in a long while.
