re: Now Waxman is quoting Woodward and going to war

I'm telling you .. this is about the Downing Street Memo

Funny you posted that, Drumheller reared his ugly head again (just on time), a couple of days ago. Did I send you the link?

[pinz-n-needlez]

They have a blank spot where Armitage's photo should be on their chart of who passed along Valerie's name. (I refuse to use the word 'leak' here, it just allows them to frame the issue.)

That's the chart I was referring to.

[top 2 toe red]

You are right...and it's hard to say, from which more total crap is emitted!

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

Oh! I thought you were referring to me!

[newnhdad]

Get ready for two years of this garbage. It'll be an investigation a month from here on out.

[greyfoxx39]

I don't think the dems could put up such restrictions

Where have you been the past 5 years? They're dems...they can do anything they damn well please! Who's going to hold them accountable? The media?

[pinz-n-needlez]

LOL

I could use another couple flats of your plants for my front yard.... ;-)

[pinz-n-needlez]

They might even double up right before the primaries begin.

I wonder if they have geographically tagged outrages ready to go for next winter...

[greyfoxx39]

Don't you just love her snarky little "smirk"....makes her look like she smells something bad!

[Sioux-san]

Robert Novak asked someone in the CIA about Plame when he did his story on Wilson and asked if there would be a problem if he published Plame's name. Novak said he was told, No problem with the covert part, we just wish you wouldn't do it. Crikey- It was Joe Wilson who ruined his wife's career - but they're having so much fun making $$$$$$ and hanging out with cool people like Warren Beatty. They should be writing Rove and Cheney thank you notes instead of suing them.

[top 2 toe red]

Who's going to hold them accountable? The media?

That's the most spot on example of how sarcasm is to be used that I have ever seen! Classic!

Thanks for posting the number for the Minority of the Committee. I just called and told the woman who answered about my disappointment with there not being more representatives from the Republicans sitting in on the hearing today. I said the least they could have done was to have individuals there, especially when Victoria Toensing testified, and that when Henry Waxman called Ms. Toensing a liar, there was no Republican making any kind of objection to it on record. I said a few other things, but I won't go into detail.

[roses of sharon]

Yawn.

[HawaiianGecko]

If some government wanted to do Valerie Plame harm, or wanted to kidnap her for interrogation... why isn't she in the witness protection program?

RE: What Nostrils just read that Hayden said...

&&&&

I heard nostrils tell Toensing that Hayden "agreed" with the statement that nostrils wrote. Yet in his opening statement this morning nostrils said on the record that he was reading a statement BY the CIA. I guess he meant 'passed by the CIA.'

After listening to the democrats from Maryland and California, the District of Columbia, and New Hampshire, I am very afraid for my country. How can there be enough stupid voters in these states to keep returning these sub-intellect individuals such as Tiny Waxman to be their legislative representatives? I can only chalk it up to the ardor caused by hate the democrat party fosters and foments continually in their efforts to 'unite the country' ... under their socialist banner. What an obscenity by tiny Waxman this committee 'hearing' was. And what's with the committee seating sign carriers to sit behind the witnesses and send signals of 'impeachment', etc? What a Neroesque spectacle tiny and his democrap colleagues have produced! How much it says about voters in their districts who return this blind-partisan hate-filled scum to Washington year after year. And tiny exposed the agenda when he told Victoria she would not be allowed to speak if she said something he didn't approve of her saying.

[STARWISE]

PSMBC reporter Mike Vaccaro? stated that Valerie clearly said it was not she who requested SlimeyJoe go to Niger.

Now I didn't hear that her testimony.

Did she actually say that?

And, if so, why in heaven's name has NO one asked as a followup: who DID send your husband to Niger??

~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm just wondering if the alleged travel she had abroad in the last 5 yrs as a so-called "covert" agent might have been a pleasure trip ... maybe joining SlimeyJoe while he was in Africa for a little vacation.

No one has pinned down that alleged assignment abroad that I've heard.

[Miss Didi]

Rush calls him Henry "Nostrilitus" Waxman.

[MHGinTN]

I wonder if she wore disguises every day when she drove through the gates at Langley? Bwahahahahaha, what a farce tiny Waxman has produced.

[blinachka]

You have to live your cover. Once you don't, forget it.

Very true. We have close family friends that were covert CIA agents in the 70's and 80's. Their cover was owning a camera shop. Both became experts in photography and equipment.
