The most beautiful things about FITZMAS are:

[mzmolly]

1. Democrats are finally saying in a unified manner "BUSH LIED." Reid issued a statement today saying the WH manufactured the case for war (paraphrased.) Kerry said yesterday he was mislead and has regrets. Conyers has also issued like statements for quite some time.

2. The media is FINALLY questioning the "case for war" in an open manner.

This is not good for the Bushista folks, but it's a beautiful day for the country. And, it's only the beginning.

:patriot:

I'll admit to shedding tears of joy.

Edited for grammar, sheesh.

* Feel free to add your own "beautiful things" ;)

[mzmolly]

1. I guess I'll try again tomorrow.

;)

2. On the Democratic Party's website...

A five-count indictment against I. Lewis Libby: one count of obstruction of justice, two counts of perjury and two counts of making false statements in the investigation into manipulating intelligence on Iraq, orchestrating efforts to smear opponents of the war and conspiring to cover it up.

10. Wonderful! Reid's statement here:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=104&topic_id=5205470&mesg_id=5205470

Dems are coming together, the media is questioning Bush, DUers have been vindicated - it's all good!

[sproutster]

3. The tide may be turning...

I don't know tho... Please let them extend the investigation.

[nadinbrzezinski]

4. It is a great begining

merry fitzmas

[mzmolly]

6. MERRY FITZMAS!!!

:toast:

[helderheid]

5. You're a great American! We all are! The tide is turning. I am too wiping

away tears of joy.

[mzmolly]

8. And the world is watching as well.

A bit of vindication for our nation.

:hug:

[BelgianMadCow]

16. yes we are

and happy too, for all of us.

May the reign of terror end.

[mzmolly]

17. This post means very very much.

Thank you.

[BelgianMadCow]

18. I have discussed the entire case

for a couple of weeks over here, with family but also with a german coworker. We discussed fascism und das dritte reich and how every empire has eventually collapsed once the rulers thought they could act without accountability.

Valerie Plame hadn't really surfaced here before today.
In the 7 PM evening news (GMT+1), they first brought the indictment. Then later on in, they brought a live report about Libby resigning.

Even though most sensible people on the planet agreed the case for war was a lie before it started, I think over here too people will be stunned by the depth of the corruption.

I am overjoyed but at the same time fear the endgame.

[mzmolly]

19. No need to fear, the media is finally doing their job b/c Bush can run

for office in 3 years.

As an American I can tell you that the tide is turning against this dangerous "regime" and things will get better.

Thanks for your concern and for sharing your thoughts. Sometimes we forget that the rest of the world lives in fear of this President as well.

:hug:

[BelgianMadCow]

23. do you not fear the smoking rabbit

in the evil one's hat? I do, but I should add that I'm in the LIHOP category.

And whatever stunt they may pull, once the real majority is educated, I think Bush*co will lose the true endgame.

And thanks for the hug. I've been pretty alone over here in the sense that most people decided early on what to think of a guy calling us old europe. Most people have tuned out, and I did too for a while after Selection 2004.

[mzmolly]

26. I'm a LIHOP-er too, but I really sense the tide has turned to the point

that they are under too much scrutiny to pull a LIHOP again.

:hi:

[tavalon]

36. The endgame being referred to here

I think is the possible ramifications of a vindictive Bush administration. Think 9/11 only worse.

[mzmolly]

38. That is frightening. I'm hopeful that the intelligence community

will be watching them as well. Sad to have to think that way.

[liberaltrucker]

28. Please translate "und das dritte reich"

"and the dreaded Reich"?

[BelgianMadCow]

29. "and the third empire"

dritte : third.

It is a reference to the reign of Hitler in Nazi-Germany.

[liberaltrucker]

30. Thanks very much

Maybe I should learn conversational German.

[BelgianMadCow]

31. nah learn french

if you don't know it already

tis much sexier :)

welcome :hi:

[Loonman]

7. Good timing, media

Fuckers. Where were they in the build up to this stupid "war".?

[mzmolly]

9. Making money off the ratings ... just like they are now.

Ratings come first, Bush second.

This will work in our favor today.

Sad but true.

[mzmolly]

11. Thanks to the party who recommended.

;)

[progressivebydesign]

12. I think of today as St. Fitzolaus Day, actually.

For those of you of European descent will know. Our family celebrated St. Niklaus day in early December. That got you a nice breakfast and a small gift. Today is St. Fitzlaus Day.. the precursor to the biggie.. Fitzmas.

[Sydnie]

13. It is a BEAUTIFUL day for the country

Perhaps now we can show the world that we don't all follow this moran the thief.

It is a beginning. Just like with Watergate, we started with the small frys and went on to the meat of the matter.

:toast: :patriot: :)

[mzmolly]

14. Yes indeed.

It does smell of Watergate. :hi:

[Pepper32]

35. Merry Fitzmas!

Our country deserves it! :toast:

[mzmolly]

15. We need another optimistic thread.

Durnit!

[WritingIsMyReligion]

20. Irving Lewis Libby is going down.

That's one beautiful thing.

Eloquent Fitzy is another ;) ;) :loveya:

[highplainsdem]

21. Headlines/articles like this one:

"Libby indictment likely to spark new debate about Iraq war"

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x5213011

[BelgianMadCow]

22. allow me to add :

3. Every one at DU who has incessantly tried to bring this to people's attention, but has also wondered so often if anything would ever come to pass, and was often met with incredulous stares, is VINDICATED.

4. Like a huge buoy that was drown under water the DSM can, and I believe will, resurface with a SPLASH.




I'm sure there's many more.

[johnfunk]

24. And let's not forget the festive...

... color-coded alert system!!

[mzmolly]

25. Awesome! That needs it's own thread.

:hi:

[bleever]

27. Cheers, mzmolly.

And as big as the Libby indictment is, the coming developments will eventually dwarf it.


:toast:

[mzmolly]

32. Oh boy I sure hope so!

:hi:

[blue neen]

33. It's only the beginning, mzmolly.

I don't think we've seen anything yet!

Democrats are finding their voices, and Republicans are losing their big, fat mouths!

Cheers and a recommend. :toast:

[mzmolly]

34. LOL, love how you stated that!

Democrats are finding their voices, and Republicans are losing their big, fat mouths!

Indeed, and on top of that, both Limbaugh and O'Lielly have talked about retirement lately. Boy, wouldn't that be a shame? ;)

[corbett]

37. Gephardt Was My Man In 2004 Primary And He Has Said He Was Wrong To Vote

for the war. That's major. Now let's hope that Kerry can see the benefit of doing that.
