Tweety interviewing Fineman from Newsweek. Fineman also thinks |
|
that the inquiry, the lawyer, and the trip to Europe played parts on the timing of Tenet's resignation. Tweety even cited Henry the Eigth and Thomas Becket as samples of this situation. Bob Graham said in the NewsHour (PBS) that when Bush* admitted he misspoke with the uranium from Africa he was ready to leave the country (for Africa) so that all the sh*t wouldn't hit him. INTERESTING TIMES.

1. Good--if these kind of things are discussed about this resignation |
|
then it's harder for Bush and Company just to dump all their troubles on Tenet...it makes it look totally political (which it is). If they said otherwise then it makes it look like brave Bush finally fired the man who is the cause of all the bad things that have happened in America and thus saves Bush's hide.

When the peasants get in an uproar about something that shouldn't concern them. Why should Georgie have to sully his little beautiful little little mind with this?

3. Henry VIII? Ummm--probably not. It was Henry II |
|
who tangled with Thomas Becket.
You know--the Plantagenet king Peter O'Toole played as a young man in Becket (1964) and as an old man four years later in The Lion in Winter (1968).
Tweety sure likes to compare * to English kings. :puke: The most outrageous example was shortly after the Iraq misadventure began, when he compared * to Henry V. Henry the F***ing FIFTH, the warrior king played by Kenneth Branagh in the most recent film to be made from Shakespeare's play. Henry V, who actually fought alongside his men at Agincourt! Sheesh...

4. Bob Graham first said that on Randi's show - W always drops bad news |
|
right before leaving - so the timing can be explained this way.

fleeing to some other continent to escape the sting of the press.
