Hubby and I are going out to get some ice cream . . . I’ll check back later with some MUST READS.
Thank you, Kaslin ... I'm thrilled that he's taken a strong and courageous stand for Scooter. He's his own man .. that's for sure .. one who doesn't bend to the winds of public opinion or windbags.
Poor Tony Snow .. he got absolutely pummeled today by the screeching, berserk press mob. They might've been satisfied if Libby had been taken out in front of a firing squad, but probably not.
I hope Tony, the Bushes and WH staff get a bit of a Holiday break.
To all Dosers ....
Good evening! Enjoy your ice cream
Glad you like it!
I have another all found & waiting for you another time!
:)
Hope you don’t mind that tis just a K in greeting...

Ping! Happy Independence Day, everyone!
David Brooks: Ending the Farce 'Bush’s Decision in the Libby Case Was Exactly Right'
The New York Times Select Edition (subscription only) ^ | 7/3/7 Posted on 07/03/2007 8:48:42 AM PDT by hardback
A cast of thousands crowded the stage, filling the the air with fevered vapors and gleeful rage. The media stakeouts of Karl Rove's driveway, the delirious calls from producers (The indictment is coming today!)
The media types so eager to get Rove, back when everyone thought he was the key leaker. Richard Armitage was as Fitzgerald knew from the start.
It was like a city of Ahabs getting deliriously close to the great white whale.
The trial to be honest, was somehwat aniclimatic. Fitzgerald, casting himself as Inspector Javert, demanded Libby get a harsh sentence as punishment for crimes he had not been convicted of.
The judge, casting himself as David against Goliath, demonstrated an impressive capicty for talking about himself. President Bush entered the stage like a character from another world, a world in which things make sense.
Of course the howlers howl. That is their assigned posture in this drama. The only thing you can count on is that their anger has been cynically manufactured from start to finish
The farce is over. Nobody but Libby's family will remember it in a few weeks time. Everyone else will have moved on to other fiacos, other poses, fresher manias.
I know I watched Tony. They were were like Hyenas (sp) Patheric
I stole it from you. :)
Thanks for the link to the bio of Dr Walter Reed
WOW! Thanks for the post Albion!
Fitzgerald needs to be Nifonged
Nice link and pictures.
Who is the man in the office in the “1930s”? WR died in 1902.
Thanks for the dose
What would you like on your toaster?
You’re very welcome. My pleasure
Wonderful old photos thanks for posting them.
Stay safe over there!
