Open Thread and Diary Rescue

For the night shift, diaries that have scrolled into the dungeon that are worthy of a first (or second) look:
.
.
For the Plame leak addicted, a veritable round-up: H2O Man's Ari Fleischer & the Libby Trial, leveymg's OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE: It Was Bush's Lie, NOT Bush's Leak and Todd Johnston's Bush leaked Plame: The Biggest NON-story yet are three pieces that make strong cases with educated speculation.
.

---------------------------------

I've noticed H2O Man putting out numerous diaries on DailyKos. For the most part, there have been few responses to his articles that have been highly read and recommended here. I reckon like in many things in life, it takes time to make a bigger impression when being in a "new place". Well, the patient H2O Man has finally hit the jackpot on DailyKos...being front-paged! Congratulations!

1. High time!

H2O Man's Impeccable product is overdue this type of recognition, IMHO. Congratulations, Patrick!

2. Historians

will dive giddily into these pieces, and find everything they need.

3. Congrats to H2O Man

He's really done a great job since the beginning of Treasongate way back nearly 3 years ago.

[H2O Man]

4. Thank you.

I remember many, many years ago, when I was first having things published, a retired English teacher who was working as my editor told me that I would never be a popular writer while I was alive .... but that I would receive my just recognition after I died. Well, I'm hoping to postpone that as long as possible! But in the mean time, I'll continue to add my two cents on my blog and three forums .... and I'm most pleased with DU, where I started, and where a number of good and decent people people do take note of what I have to say. It's almost like I've died and gone to heaven!

29. I think H2O Man's too old for houris. But he should

be able to manage a minuti or two.

[Catherine Vincent]

[stepnw1f]

22. Good for You H2O!

Your message is universal and carries much weight with people. Keep up the good work, especially for this simpleton.

[Domitan]

34. When the blogs are taken more seriously someday in the mainstream

consciousness, I would hope that they would include notice of your work over the past few years on this Plame Leak as one of the star examples of blogosphere.

I think we should get you to have beer with Sy Hersh, seriously.

[spuddonna]

44. I totally agree! Thank you, H20 Man! :)

I love reading your blogs! You are a wonderful writer and journalist!!
cheers! :toast:

He covers all the complexities of the case quite clearly.

Keep up the great work.

[WarNoMore]

It's about time you got recognized. Your posts have been invaluable to me.

[DearAbby]

23. Way to go kiddo!

:toast: I love reading you here at homeDU. If there is news on the topic, your threads, I look for.

[Missy Vixen]

25. Congratulations, H2O Man!

Kos and his colleague are hanging out at a park this afternoon roughly ten miles from our house. I'll go over there and tell him we'd like to see more from you on his blog!

Julie

[H2O Man]

26. Thanks.

I'd appreciate that.

[CatWoman]

32. there will be no living with him now!!!!

:D

:hi:

[Missy Vixen]

35. Message delivered to the man himself

Hi H2OMan, I was lucky enough to have a short chat with Markos. I told him how happy we all are that your essay ended up on his front page today, and that we all look forward to many, many more. I also explained that you and firedoglake are the CIA Leak Case go-to people.

He seemed surprised and touched that DU is so thrilled for you!

Julie

[H2O Man]

38. Thank you.

That was nice of you.

[Tsiyu]

27. H2O Man

is a beloved member of DU.

:loveya:

[Blue_Tires]

28. congrats!

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

30. LOL! Great News! K&R & It couldn't happen to a nicer guy!

[Old and In the Way]

31. Don't forget leavymg............he was also cited.

Another great investigative journalist that has written some outstanding articles on DU.

[H2O Man]

39. Right.

Leavymg and I have traded a lot of ideas back and forth on this case. I think that a team with both of us gets a pretty well-rounded view of the Plame scandal.

[leveymg]

42. Thanks, OAINTW!

Thanks, H20 Man! Go team!

[Old and In the Way]

45. My apologies for getting your name wrong....

but it is people like you and Waterman that keeps me hooked on DU. Glad to see you both are getting wider recognition for your writings on the Republican Syndicate.

[leveymg]

48. Tis alright.

Finding an appreciative audience here keeps me coming back. Thank you!!

[Pastiche423]

33. Kudos, Waterman!

Well deserved.

[Disturbed]

36. Well deserved recognition.

Why is DailyKos more referenced with the Corp Media than DU?

[Catherine Vincent]

41. I think because DailyKos is a blog and DU isn't.

:shrug:

But it's all good!

[oasis]

37. Way to go H2O.

[stop the bleeding]

43. very cool and well deserved

:toast:

[robertpaulsen]

46. Congratulations H2O Man!

Two of the qualities I admire most about you is your patience and perserverance. Keep it up!

Is this a great time or what?

[H2O Man]

47. It's a great time.

And "or what." (grin)
