5. Watch and see, listen and learn
I expect its efficiency to drop off slightly once the architect of administration communications policies is busy with affadavits and depositions of his own.

30. Don't laugh--Fox News is already spinning that idea.
Hannity & Colmes are devoting an entire hour to it tonight! "Was Karl Rove set up?" :puke:

9. out of control prosecutor unguided missile preview in WSJ already
<snip>

But now Mr. Fitzgerald has become an unguided missile, holding reporters in contempt for not disclosing their sources even as it becomes clearer all the time that no underlying crime was at issue.

13. They were a victim of partisan politics....
...indicted even though they were innocent simply because Democrats were on a witch hunt. Long anti-Dem spiel. The trial will prove them innocent, we should wait until we know the facts, blah blah blah...

These delusional bozos still say Nixon was a good president and shouldn't have been impeached.

21. I agree -- and somewhere in there will be the words "whiner" and
"get over it" and of course, the always-misspelled "loosers." Just their way of being dismissive and marginalizing things that actually matter.

18. "In America we're all considered innocent until guilt is proven in court."
This will prolong the departure at least until the trial if they can take the heat politically,

22. As I See It...
Nothing is going to happen to them, nothing will be done to them and they will go the way of Ken Lay.

Isn't Kenny Boy still free and frolicking somewhere?? This will go on til the cows come home and as usual the bitterness I feel just keeps growing & growing!!

Some day someone is going to say, "yeah I HEARD something about that, but can't remember exactly what it was"!

:wtf: :puke: :nuke: :puke:

When and if they are convicted: The case is on appeal.

26. Innocent until proved guilty only applies to loyal Republicans
Liberals are traitors. Ann Coulter said so; so, it must be true.

32. Black women make up DC grand juries...
Cooper already started in on this, and it will be insinuated that the indictments are "race payback" in a case of "reverse racism." Black juries, of course, never get anything right: Nancy Grace will put you on the wink of the word on that point, and it will travel throughout the media along with indignant encomiums on the presumption of innocence in American jurisprudence. It will never be stated outright, but all the racist supporters will pick up on the code. The whole hoopla about the African American Expo and shunning of the NAACP was foundation-laying for the sly racist defense that will emerge once Rove, Libby, and others are indicted by the federal grand jury in DC.

Mark my words.

34. More from the Conquer and Divide Bush Jr. Administration
Stay tuned to the most destructive group on this planet. Remember it just gets better and better.

A serious note that it takes longer to plan and create than to destroy and destroy again.
