The Harriet nomination was a plant all along to divert att. from Fitzmas.

[trumad]

There's no other explanation---What??? you think it's a coincidence she stepped down on the very day that Fitz is expected to indict.

[cynatnite]

1. When indictments come down, they'll take the stage over this...

I hope it is today. Makes for a bad bad day for bush :evilgrin:

[Tamarin]

9. Agreed. This is not big enough to distract from Plamegate.

But, now I have hope the Indictment(s) will be coming soon since they are trying to distract.

[Dawgs]

2. Oh come one...

Enough already. This is not good for Bush. Who cares that it happened today?

Just be happy that it happened. Jeesh!!

[trumad]

6. Oh I'm happy---

I'm just not putting anything past these clowns.

[asjr]

25. It had to have been a ploy. They put forward someone

totally unqualified, have her withdraw her name, then slip Priscilla Owen in because she has so much "experience" on the bench. The committee will be so happy to see Owen, they will automatically back her. Rove may be in trouble with the special counsel, but he still has been infected with the liar syndrome. He has not lost his deviousness.

[Mr_Spock]

8. Someone has to throw out the perfunctory paranoid post!!

But we ain't buying today!!!


WOOOHOOO!!!

Fuck off Bush!

[Mr_Spock]

3. Nah, this is actually adding insult to injury for this maladministration

They are going down with a double gang-bang today!!!

:rofl:

[Canadiana]

4. I COMPLETELY AGREE

Maybe I'm cynical, but everything this administration does has either been a smoke screen for a) the Iraq disaster b) the extreme mishandling of Katrina or c) the coming indictments

[geekgrrl]

11. I disagree- I think they aren't good at not being on top and this one was

a slip-up, a mistake. Not a diversion. Too damaging.

[ChiciB1]

5. PLUS.... Frist Et Al Really Didn't Want To Stay Throught

November!!!

Now What??? This COULD get so much worse!!!!

[TheCowsCameHome]

7. One more big failure for the Loser-In-Chief.

Do you really think this is good for him?

[Mr_Spock]

12. This will be the worst day ever for Bush-hole

His parents just saw Houston LOSE.

Harriet Miers was a FAILURE!!

Indictments today??

DEAD MEAT.

[TheCowsCameHome]

18. That's odd. I'm feeling really good right now!!!!!!!!!!!

[Mr_Spock]

27. Me too!!! Even with the paranoid people trying to remove the joy!!

I sometimes wonder about the allegiance of the paranoid fools on this board. Bush IS as stupid as everybody thinks he is without Rove. He really IS stupid. Just keep reminding yourself of that. Without Rove, Bush is TOAST!!!

[trumad]

31. Paranoid fool...

listen Junior--- I was on this forum before you learned how to access the internet....

[Mr_Spock]

32. HAHAHAHA!!!!11 Are you SERIES!!!!!1111 This is HUGH!!!!1111

So all opinions must be better than mine :rofl:

Lighten up Harold :D

[trumad]

36. This is what you said pointy ears....

"I sometimes wonder about the allegiance of the paranoid fools on this board" ....

You question my allegiance? and you say lighten up?

I say that based on my time on this forum. 2001, compared to yours, 2004.... that my uhhhh alegiance is just as formidable as yours.
Junior...

[Mr_Spock]

37. LOL - OK. And this User ID was not my first...

I did not name you specifically Mr. Paranoid.

Lighten up Harold. :D

[trumad]

38. I did not name you specifically

yeah..and Rove didn't know Plame was a NOC.

[Midlodemocrat]

20. I think this is awesome that she stepped aside today.

Especially if * asked her to wait until the indictments were handed down. Maybe she was tiring of being his sacrificial lamb.

[geekgrrl]

10. No- if Fitzmas is today then it is a REALLY BAD day for the Bush admin.

She did too much political damage to his credibility and judgement for her just to be a diversion. If she was meant as a diversion then they are REALLY loosing their judgement big time.

[ananda]

16. Iraq? What 2000 deaths?

Also.. it's really Iraq that's off the burner.

Even Plamegate overshadows Iraq.

We need over a thousand Cindy Sheehans.. now!

13. If It Was, It Failed Miserably

Yesterday, all I heard on hate radio was Harriet, Harriet, Harriet. This seemed to keep the flying monkeys real distracted from the sword of Fitzgerald hanging over their heads.

If anything, the Fitzgerald announcements will help mute the withdrawl of Miers...that's a far greater personal slap and embarassment at the chimpster...and as we know, in his world that's all that matters.

I'm bummed...I was looking forward to seeing Dobson called to testify in the confirmation hearings and then Harriet's Twilight Zone testimony. Oh well...guess we'll have to deal with a Janice Rogers Brown instead.

But it won't matter...this government is all but at a halt...all three branches and their scandals will make it very difficult to get much stuff done. Welcome to the post-Fitzmas world.

[kikiek]

14. Bad smell to this from day one. Not sure why though. Suspect it might

have to do with the next nomination. Also timing was odd, but not strong enough to pull attention away from the potential indictments. But a new nomination might.

[mtnester]

15. Here is my post from yesterday, a set up that pissed me off to no end

"She HAD to know she was in no way qualified to serve in this position. I mean, I would love to play the piano, but my tinkering on the keys does NOT qualify me for a position in the symphony.

Now, like the idiot she is, she has destroyed any chance at all for the next nominee (cause it will not be her) to be anything other than an ultra conservative white male (or almost white anyway), which was the whole point of this set up. Does anyone here even THINK this decision was made by Georgie himself? You know Karl arranged this appointment, so you know it had devious/ulterior intentions.

As a woman, stupid shit like this piss me off beyond belief.

I better stop now."

[Bernardo de La Paz]

17. No, not for Fitzmas. She was stalking horse for real nominee: Gonzales?

Miers was not a plant to to divert attention from Fitzmas. Otherwise, they would have released the news tomorrow or Saturday, AFTER indictments are issued.

She was a stalking horse for the real nominee, meaning that she gets put up and shot down so Bush can nominate either Gonzales, who he really wants to nominate, or some hard right nut. Bush's thinking (limited though it is) would be that if she got confirmed, no problem for Bush.

[Maddy McCall]

19. This is what I suspect, too.

:scared:

[jackster]

21. me too

I was afraid that she was being thrown to the wolves so that they could get the nominee they REALLY wanted....

I think we're now going to see the real agenda emerge

[Democrat 4 Ever]

23. Just begs the question...IF Harriet was the best candidate for the

job who on this sweet earth would Chimpy think is SECOND best? Shudder.:crazy:

[Mr_Spock]

28. This does NOT help Bush in any way at all. More likely to get filibuster

now due to this mis-step. No, nothing at ALL good can be drawn from this UTTER FAILURE for this man without a his brain (Rove). Bush is toast.

[goodboy]

22. YEP! And while we're focused on Fitzmas, Bush* will push a real fascist

through

[mtowngman]

24. set-up from the start

wheather a distraction from other issues or for the next nominee I'm not sure, but from the start I couldn't believe that even W could be dumb enough to think he sould ever get her on the SC.

[Mr_Spock]

26. No way - this is just Bush without his brain - Rove - get used to it!!!!!

Stop being paranoid - this guy is this stupid without his brain!!

Please use a little common sense before you start saying it was a set-up - Bush is one of the dumbest people I've ever seen in a position of power - did you not hear him talking about her nomination? He was scream at my radio stupid!! Jon Stuart said "he's not even trying anymore, he's just T-ing them up (self insulting)!!! :rofl:

BUSH IS A MORON!!

[mtowngman]

29. Just hard to fathom

that right on the heels of the allegations of cronyism etc. over katrina that he would be serious about this. I guess it's the stupidity that's really hard to fathom.

[ChiciB1]

30. Well.... I'm Still EXTREMELY Skeptical!!!

I DON'T TRUST these people in the WH, and not even as far as I can throw them. I DON'T TRUST them ONE INCH!!!

They're despicable pieces of crap!! I wonder what they have up their sleeve at this very moment!!!

These people MUST GO!! America has suffered ENOUGH!!!

[Mr_Spock]

33. You should see the "just lost a puppy" look on repukes faces at work!!

Trust me, this is not a memorable moment for them. Public opinion is a huge issue for a political party, if this were somehow a stunt, it's of the poorest design I could ever imagine. The Repukes here at work are practically suicidal and NOBODY takes the administration seriously any more. He's toast without Rove. Burnt toast at that...

[ChiciB1]

34. Thanks For The Reply....

I Sure Hope this is true!!!

This WH has pulled so many dirty tricks that fact and fiction have almost become ONE word!

[Mr_Spock]

35. This was a revolt by Republicans against the administration

He is a lame duck and the Repukes in the Congress are not playing his retarded games any more. This man is a buffoon without Rove directing his every move. A BUFFOON!!!
