Kristol: ‘Mood is Bleak’ at White House

Bill Kristol, editor of The Weekly Standard, said he expects indictments this week in the CIA leak case involving White House advisers Karl Rove and Scooter Libby.

Kristol said "the mood is bleak in the White House today,” and said the environment surrounding the federal grand jury testimony is "pretty grim.” Although the indictments may not ultimately result in anything substantive, Kristol said there is a pins-and-needles feel to the grand jury investigation into the leaking of a CIA agent's name to the media in 2003.

"The net has been cast wide,” Kristol told Fox News Tuesday. "Lots of junior aides have testified. It’s been a very comprehensive investigation by the prosecutor. I think there will be indictments and the mood is pretty bleak in the White House.”

As for what this means for President Bush and the daily working of the White House, Kristol said it is too early to tell.

1. But is Bush flipping out? I know he has that nasty temper.

I'd love to hear how some dish on what Cuckoobananas is doing this week.

4. The BushCo is a Major Trainwreck..they have no idea what to do?

Trapped in the Bastille....waiting for the mob to come...

6. He positively freaks if he doesn't get his way.

He's like a two-year-old, and has always been indulged as such. Everything in his life has been handed to him, including the fraudulent presidency. He's just not used to not getting exactly what he wants, when he wants it.

2. It can't get bleak enough for me.

Considering the damage they've done to everyone, most especially those wounded and dead from their imperialistic ambitions and disregard for the lives of the poor and the struggling.

[Lerkfish]

3. As always, more worried about getting caught, and how it affects THEM

than whether the crimes were dangerous and wrong in the first place.

yeah, we should be SO worried about the white house being depressed. Poor pitiful treasonous bastards.

5. boo-hoo

we still have 150,000 troops in Iraq dying for an ambiguous reason(s)

7. 'W' stands for "cWy-baby"

8. Wonder what the mood will be like at the Big House?

Look at it this way -- we're kinda privileged to live in these historical times. We bear personal witness to the most corrupt, relentless greedheads ever to hold the highest office in the land. Someday, a photo of Bush, Cheney, Rove, et. al. will sit in a history book under the heading "Chapter 32: The New Scum."

These jabbering human sacrifices outlived their usefulness 30,000 years ago, when Neanderthal man died out.

9. Does anyone else find it passing strange that the more pragmatic

citizens, as in democrats, are saying,"Oh I hope there will be indictments," while the rapethugs, who, obviously, are far better acquainted with the methods and madness of the other side are absolutely convinced there are going to be heavy indictments and withering losses in their hierarchy?
Seems like the "made" mob members on the catbirds' seats are quite clear of their joint culpability.

10. if the 'net' does not include Bush and Cheney,

then it's not a big enough net, IMO.

[Nickster]

11. If the indictments won't amount to much, then why the grim mood?

Innocent people wouldn't be grim about an investigation. Heck, they might even help to make sure it got done quickly and cleared their names, donchya think?

12. I hate that this manicured fucktard

gets to offer commentary from a comfortable distance, as if he's a disinterested observer. He's as much responsible as anyone for the Iraq clusterfuck and bellicose US foreign policy.

[No Exit]

15. Bingo!!

He's a sleazy, cloying little scum who is there on the front lines of the propaganda push, and he's pretending he's just an innocent bystander.

But from just looking at his always-innocently-smiling face, one could always see that DECEPTION is his biggest talent.

[kentuck]

13. If they did nothing wrong, they have nothing to worry about....

Right?

[phusion]

Ya think?! See this photo from yesterday >>>>

16. THIS IS ANOTHER ISSUE BESIDES WH TURMOIL

I cannot begin to tell you how delighted I am that Newsmax finds itself in a position to have to admit that morale at the WH is down the dumper.
Those over the hill journalists have pranced around long enough trying to show how knowledgable they are, how patriotic and above all, how right they are. If you think Ms Miller of the NYT is bad, these Newsmax creeps are ten times worse. They almost put Fox news in last place among professional purveyors of News and information. .

14. So we're supposed to feel sorry for these lying cheating

war criminals?
