Call-In
Political News Review
C-SPAN, Washington Journal
York, Byron, Correspondent, [National Review], White House
Corn, David, Editor, [Nation, The], Washington, DC
Journalists talk about the previous week’s major news stories including the White House leak investigation, withdrawal of Supreme Court Nominee Miers, and events in Iraq.
Nothing much seems to have been talked about that it was David Corn, not Novak, who first published Valerie Plame's name. I hope Byron York asks him about THAT and why he (Corn) was not called to testify.
I didn't know that.
Will check it out.
Novak did not use her name, but Corn did.
I'll be watching.
just sent this email to York:
"Tim Russert, MSNBC, and even Steve this morning, keep repeating "Libby is the first White House staffer in 130 years to be indicted". They understand how intentionally misleading that factoid is. They know many other White House staffers resigned before they could be indicted.
and none of them tell viewers that indicted White House staffer 130 years ago, Orville Babcock, was eventually acquitted!

And emailed Steve too.
Did you hear Steve say Wilson would speak tomorrow to the Press Club? He's doing 60 Minutes and Dateline tonight and TODAY Show in the morning.
SOOOOOOOOOOO many opportunities to get caught in more lies!!!
This should be good......PING.
Starts in 4 mins.(7:45am est)
Bump
I heard that and I'm glad I'll be working. Hope someone does a thread on it.
Corn just said "We know that Libby talked to at least TWO reporters about it." Hello! Is he leaving out Russert...the THIRD reporter?
Morning, OXEN. I am listening and Corn desparately wants Rove's head on a stick. He says that Rove shared classified information in violation of an oath he signed and should be dismissed. Says they are hiding behind technicalities.
It is perfectly legal for Rove, Libby, and Cheney to have conversations about the lies Joe Wilson wrote in the very public NYT about the administration. They had security clearances. Joe did not.
oh joy, c-span calls..........
Don't muddled the arguement with facts! ;-)
Caller on pro-Administration line calls Cheney a teflon VP. Scully cuts him off after he goes on to the price of Halliburton stock. DRINK (way too early).
Byron York, easily makes David Corn look like a silly, vindictive, small man, by reminding him, "Bill Clinton was not president after 9-11!" In other words, hush!
(Did any of you know that Corn has tried his hand at writing novels? I am such an avid reader that when I'm w/out a book, I've been known to read tomato soup labels, BUT I could not read even one of Corn's novels and tossed it.)
Corn is going insane.
David Corn is lying. He said "Valerie Plame was not important to what Wilson did." Nobody on the planet believes that.
Contrary to the usual practice of requiring anyone such as Wilson going on a CIA generated mission to sign a confidentiality paper, Joe did not sign one....thus, he published what he had supposedly discovered in Niger while sipping green tea w/some functionaries there. Interesting, isn't it that CIA failed here?
Wilson is on NBC now.
Libby is a novelist, too ...

"Expand your horizons in Rock Hill SC". Corn is nothing if not condescending!!! This caller did not call Corn unpatiriotic...he called him stupid!!!
Corn has to go back to the old canard of whining because Bush suppporters called liberals 'unpatriotic". (Democrats use that as a reason why they had to vote to support the war.) Bullhockeydoodoo! That spin came straight from moveon.org.
How tall is Byron? It may be camera position, but he looks bigger than the other two.
O'Reilly is a novelist as well........When are WE going to write our novels? Everyone else is doing so. LOL
Which, to me, says Wilson was freelancing. Somewhere in the offices of the CIA or the front organization Plame worked for has to be a copy of the travel authorization for one or both of them. Why can't it be dug up?
I suspect that Korn was an early confidant of Joe Wlson and a conduit for his venom. Korn was at the courthouse when Fitzgerald handed down his indictment and asked a question.
I met he and his wife at "Cheney's House" during the 2000 election debacle. He's 5-10 to six foot tall.
Last night, she told Russert that they did NOT know that. And Russert said to her that he did not recognize his own testimony in the indictment.
Who's lying NOW?
Byron York should just reach across the table and slap Corn. He's so rude, and yes, you're right, Corn slips in many inaccuracies in his tirades.
Not to worry. York's calm, well informed demeanor is much more impressive than Corn's obvious scorn for this president. Corn is not a reporter, he's a mouthpiece. And in this particular case, he's been Joe Wilson's viper tongue!
Libby finished his novel while drinking tequila in Colorado and O'Reilly was fantasizing of falafels. Perhaps we lead less exciting lives. LOL
"Contrary to the usual practice of requiring anyone such as Wilson going on a CIA generated mission to sign a confidentiality paper, Joe did not sign one....thus, he published what he had supposedly discovered in Niger while sipping green tea w/some functionaries there.

Well considering that we have learned that old Joe Wilson was intent upon saving Saddam, maybe it was NOT a failure but by design. That among other things that have transpired since the day President Bush was finally declared the winner of the 2000 election all sorts of methods have been attempted to destroy him.
I always am reminded of Rocky's MEMO that gave out the road map for the method of destruction. I do not think there is any separation from this incident and that MEMO.
During this time Plame also gave birth to twins and sought "help" for a "severe bout with postpartum depression." Was she on leave?

Corn and the rest of the MSM are very unhappy that only Libby was indicted. Now they will attempt to use Libby to get to Cheney and then the President. Already, people like Kristoff are asking what did Cheney know and when did he know it. They are hoping for another Watergate. I guess in this guess Tim Russert is "Deep Throat."
Thank you Byron York for the true definition of "Borking". It's when United States Senators attempt to destroy a presidential nominee for political reasons.
David Corn and all the democrats who are crying crocodile tears for Harriet Myers, are exposing their dishonesty...and their hypocrisy. If republicans hadn't been opposed to Meirs, rest assured, Kennedy, Boxer, and Schumer would have led the charge against her.
David Corn was bit by a snake as a youth and since then has been troubled by anti-conservative seizures.
Not sure that I can listen much more to Corn and his inaccuracies. Can't believe that he draws a salary for this junky talk. I am hanging on, however, only because of York.
Then the other two must be really short. Sitting, Byron looks several inches taller.
This is a pretty smart caller. Says they are out to get the President in any way they can.
Thank God! A 2nd pro-Bush got through the C-Span screener.
Corn says it's incumbent on the Prez to explain why HE lied to us, the President. The President has not lied to anyone. It is too early for me to be this angry. Toast and tea time.
And after a pause, she said, "You know how they are." lol
Toast and tea? I need a beer. It's noon somewhere, I'm sure.
Notice that Corn did not say one word about HIS column naming Valerie. Neither has Russert until after the indictment said anything about HIS part in this brouhaha.
The man makes William Weld look like Trollope, and Kurt Anderson Chaucer.
"Wretched" doesn't even begin to do it justice.
