[BattyDem]

[Warren Stupidity]

1. he seems like a lying sack of shit to me.

So I don't watch him.

[dmkinsey]

11. what Warren said

[tx_dem41]

27. You better hope the eventual jury doesn't think that. n/t

[Binka]

2. Cat On A Hot Tin Roof

And lying his ass off. Fuck you Pussert!

[ticapnews]

3. He was on MSNBC, and it seems like he was lied to

by Libby and the VP. He testified for 20 minutes in August.

[Atman]

4. Russert, Cooper and Miller

Apparently are named. And the CNN crew is asking why Novakula hasn't been named. They're talking about a "dark day" for the press when this all starts coming out.

Oh my god, this is getting sooooooooooo sweet!

[liveoaktx]

8. VIDEO from NBC

Timmy Talks

[helderheid]

9. is it POSSIBLE we'll get a free press again out of this mess???

[ItsTheMediaStupid]

24. YES!!! One of many possible silver linings

14. Novakula, the smirking wimp that he is squealed like a pig.

He didn't try to cover up. He likely told the prosecutor everything he knew and Fitzgerald was able to corroborate his statements.

OR...

Novakula is some sort of a target and Fitz doesn't want to tip his hand quite yet.

[Jersey Devil]

16. Novak was named

Paragraph 21:

21. On or about July 10 or July 11, 2003, LIBBY spoke to a senior official in the White
House (“Official A”) who advised LIBBY of a conversation Official A had earlier that week with
columnist Robert Novak in which Wilson’s wife was discussed as a CIA employee involved in
Wilson’s trip. LIBBY was advised by Official A that Novak would be writing a story about
Wilson’s wife.

[Tesibria]

17. "Official A" -- ROVE

right??

[Supersedeas]

20. it is a DARK day for the media now as well--it was all there--and they

ignored it.

[ItsTheMediaStupid]

22. Possibly a great day for the media in the US

It could be the rebirth of journalism from the ashes of pressitution.

[onenote]

5. don't have access to tv, but he's a big part of the story

Reading the indictments, one of the specific lies that they are going after Scooter on involves Scooter's description of a conversation he had with Russert.

The interesting question is whether they have any documentary evidence (notes, etc.) to back up this claim or whether its a he said/she said thing. I have to assume they've got something more than conflicting descriptions from Libby and Russert.

6. I saw him on MSNBC earlier

blinkety-blink-blink-blinkety-blink

Yeah, he's nervous. It's a charming sight.

[BattyDem]

13. Exactly ... excessive blinking and his voice sounded a little shaky

:bounce:

[auburngrad82]

7. Russert's name is all over Libby's indictment. nt

[catmandu57]

10. Yes

probably trying to figure out how to keep his ass covered, fuck you timmy I hope you go down with these bastards.

[Straight Shooter]

12. What's that big big chicken I see roosting on Timmy's head? n/t

[progressivebydesign]

15. He should NOT be reporting on this!!

His name is all over that indictment and is involved, it is absolutely unethical to have that man reporting on any of this.

[antonialee839]

19. How many more shills can Blitzer fit on his program?

[NNN0LHI]

18. They are like a bunch of cats in a roomful of rocking chairs n/t

[kurth]

21. Russert is a whore

He's paid to badmouth Democrats every Sunday on his show while giving Republicans a HUGE free pass.

[Loonman]

23. Russert is a bloated scumlord

Isn't he mixed up in this, too?

[The Backlash Cometh]

25. I know why Russert is nervous! Libby claimed Russert was his source!

It's breaking now, but I'm sure by the time Fitz finishes his briefing, we'll find out that Libby lied.

[tx_dem41]

26. For all those that think Russert is a lying sack of s**t...

you better hope that the eventual jury doesn't think that, or Scooter will go free.

People, PLEASE!...read the indictment. It all hinges on Miller, Russert and Cooper telling the truth.

[Nederland]

30. Thank you

for pointing out the obvious. Sometimes it seems like half the people on DU can't (or don't bother to) read.

[xultar]

29. Libby tried to blame his ass. I wonder if he's just finding that out.

[shance]

31. Russert esta un complice.

n/t

[tx_dem41]

32. You REALLY need to read the indictment.

It takes about 10 minutes.
