Prosecute Plame?

As difficult as it has been, I have been trying real hard to stick with Bush. Now however, the immigration thing really made it hard to swallow, but if he lets Libby go to the slammer, I am gone.

You mean you aren't going to vote for him in 2008 when he runs for his third term in office? Or what?

Bush’s loyalty is a one-way street.

Uh, what the heck is this supposed to mean? Libby is not in jail, and his sentencing is under appeal. Why would the President want to be bombarded with 'Are you gonna pardon him, huh? Are ya? Are ya?' I don't blame him for not wanting to talk about it with everyone at this point.

Me thinks this author had a few too many caffeine drinks before writing this.

I guess some guys are so shallow that it doesn’t matter how despicable the woman is, as long as she looks good. :::shrug:::

[Old Retired Army Guy]

I can appreciate your sarcasm, but what I meant was that in conversations with others, I have been trying to be a loyal defender of his administration, despite many disagreements. If he lets Libby get locked up, he doesn’t deserve my continued loyalty.

Nah. I'm 50 so technically I'm AARP but hardly a dirty old man -- especially since that usually implies attraction to teenagers.

But America's vision of "lovely" has vanished so I am infatuated with classic versions of "lovely," especially middle-aged images of lovely. My wife is one. When she dresses up she actually resembles Valerie, in face and figure, and that's why I think I have this unexplainable heart-melting when I see her face.

I think the same way about Peggy Noonan. Yeah, she's over 50, but she's lovely and has a brilliant and passionate conservative mind to boot. See these photos of Peggy:

I am so "weakened" I even have a soft spot for that flaming lib we know as Susan Sarandon (this will really tick off some Freepers):

Add a few more lovely women, like the First Lady Laura Bush,. I'm putty in their hands.

It’s a weakness ... I admit it ... I’m in therapy ... see post 28.

[Hot Tabasco]

WHY is Bush so sensitive about the subject that friends can’t even bring it up?

If Libby's upcoming appeal succeeds, he will be cleared of all charges. If Bush steps in now and issues a pardon, Libby will forever be known as the guy who was convicted of lying but pardoned by his pal.......

So it makes sense to allow the circus to go on at least until right before Bush leaves office.......

re: While Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald – a Clinton appointee, let’s not forget – did succeed in convincing a Washington, DC jury to convict Libby

Just out of curiosity: What was the make-up of the Washington, DC jury? Isn’t the town itself almost all Democrat? Are any Republicans EVER elected there? If this is the case, can it be said that Libby was tried by a jury of his peers? If he was tried by a jury that was predisposed to convict him for being a Republican and serving a Republican president, the outcome of the trial is not surprising.

[cpdiii]

As no crime was committed Libby had no motive to lie.

This leads to only two conclusions:
1. Libby was mistaken in his testimony.

or

2. Tim Russert is a lying Son of a Bit— and perjured himself to get Libby convicted.

It should be noted that Tim Russert took no notes during his conversation with Libby. Tim Russert made no notes after his conversation with Libby. I find it very difficult to believe that after talking to the lawyer to the second most powerfull individual in the United States that Tim Russert did not take notes of this conversation so he could write an article or present it on television.

I think Russert is a lying Son of a Bit—!!!!

I just read the document at the link. Oh my God, gag me with a spoon, we've got Paris "Than's Hot" Hilton running the CIA...

In case you don't speak Valley Girl, get a translator before you go there.

I think that is why Plame-Wilson moved to New Mexico. They know that if they stay in DC then they will be hounded by the media but if they stay in NM they can control the spin and exposure. They are also close to the border in case they have to make a quick escape.

[Stayfree]

Let's see,
O. J. Simpson commits murder & walks,
Paris Hilton breaks several laws & walks,
Dingy Harry takes a $1 million bribe & skates,
Diane Feinstein gives hundreds of govt. millions to her husband & skates,
Bill Clinton commits perjury & walks,
Nancy Pelosi visits Syria in violation of federal law & skates,
Our nuclear secrets from Los Alamos labs given to China & everyone skates,
Richard Armitage leaks Valerie Plame's identity & skates,
Scooter Libby gets 2 1/2 years for obstructing an investigation into a crime that was never committed,
Martha Stewart's little white lie got her serious prison time,
John Ashcroft & Don Rumsfeld do their job & get run out of town,
and on and on..............

“Prosecute Plame?”

If only to watch Chris Matthews head POP on nat’l tv.

[marron]

Of course Plame lied, and she lied under oath to Congress. I’ll let others agonize over whether her “promise” to tell the truth constitutes a legal oath. She raised her hand, and then proceeded to lie to Congress. If Congress doesn’t consider that to be perjury, then perjury itself is meaningless.

[FreedomCalls]

If he lets Libby get locked up, he doesn’t deserve my continued loyalty.

I'm still confused though. What does your loyalty do or not do for him? Are you not going to vote Republican in 2008 because of him? Are you not going to send in donations to the RNC? As a lame duck President, nothing you do or not do can affect him. It can affect others in the RNC, but not him. If you are suggesting that you will not support inititives he creates that might otherwise be supported by a conservative, then you are going off the deep end into Bush Derangement Syndrome where nothing Bush does is praiseworthy simply because it's from Bush. On the other hand if you have been supporting otherwise noxious Bush inititives (such as prosecuting Ramos and Compean) simply because Bush did it, then that too is wrong. Not that I should tell you what to do, but the proper way out of the liberal quagmire the country finds itself in is to support conservative ideas and actions and reject anti-conservative ideas and actions no matter who originated them.

[Melas]

No arguments from me. I think they’re all hot.
