Well, that was pretty obvious since the beginning right? So now all we need is the hard proof.
Anyway, so we have a treason in high place. Bush ad ministration is treasonous.

What journalist said that? I wouldn't put money on that bet.
So far as public opinion goes, Cheney will occupy a circle that even Dante would have hesitated to invent.

Cheney is a serial criminal whose crimes run the gamut from treason (this crime) to mass murder (orchestrating the illegal, brutal invasion of a country that posed absolutely no threat to us).
Agnew was a saint in comparison. That will eventually be Cheney's verdict.

Agnew's and Nixon's crimes when compared to this cabal weren't even the equivalent of robbing a liquor store -- a sweet shoppe maybe.
Whereas Cheney's and Bush's crimes are to robbing the poor, working, middle class, upper middle class, and even some of the millionaires club in order get their own way and line their own pockets.

Comparing Nixon/Agnew to Bush/Cheney is like comparing a short-change artist to a serial murderer. Literally.

full of holes in his face and then being sheilded from law enforcement in some kind of cover up.
Is he going to rehab or the Mayo Clinic before he's removed from office?

CNN has their front page story on the opening testimony and they don't even mention Cheney's role. What the hell gives here?
MSNBC takes this story and makes it sound like its a bombshell. CNN ignores the part about Cheney all together. Instead they focus on the angle of how hard it is to find an unbiased (read: non Bush-hating) jurist in DC.
This is a bombshell and we'll have to push it. We can't trust he MSM to do it.
Heck... this story is slipping down the list of front page news stories already on CNN. "Man swallowed by shark" is getting more play.
Your ad could be here.

Throwing Libby (or convincing Libby to throw himself) under the bus was a political amputation to prolong the life of the Bush administration and the agenda of the Project for a New American Century.
It's possible that he assumed he'd never be prosecuted for mere lying, and perhaps none of them ever considered the possibility that anyone would give a shit about Wilson & Plame, but I think Fitz picked the right guy to go after in that inner-circle. Libby loves his kids and has zero intention of missing out on their lives by going to jail.

Could it possibly be that its parent company General Electric is one of the very biggest ultra diversified multinational companies especially active in developing countries/markets?
Just mebbe its ceo Jeff Immelt and his merry band of modern day swashbucklers have once and for all got with the new CW that Bush is certifiably insane and therefore (very) bad for 'brand America'(already tarnished nearly beyond recognition)+ and G.E. needs to do something to hasten big changes at 1600 Pa. Ave. pre Jan 20, 2009?

Matthews has views all over the place but I bet they get better mail when he states the mainstream truth.
Olbermann has thrown down the gauntlet and his ratings are skyrocketing. They see the gold. Now they are pairing Matthews with Olbermann for their big political coverages!
Dan Abrams is the new head of MSNBC. He's watching the numbers. He's watching the revenue. And he's watching Fox "Nothing" Network (as Olbermann now calls it) DIVE!
Immelt has MUCH bigger things on his plate than MSNBC. And a corporation of that magnitude and its investors will prosper under any administration - there's no socialist party threatening them with tariffs and government takeover. They are far more concerned with NBC News and primetime ratings.

CNN is owned by Time Warner same company with Disney/ABC.
It's hardcore spinning time. GOP is definitely trying to shape public opinion via mass media. Spread the word!
GOP propaganda mode is in full force. List the name and people who ae spinning hard. They are part of GOP media operative.

... which, actually, is interesting in its own right:
"They're trying to set me up. They want me to be the sacrificial lamb," Wells said, recalling the conversation between Libby and Cheney. "I will not be sacrificed so Karl Rove can be protected."

It will taint and hurt Bush. If Karl is hung out to dry, it will taint and hurt Bush.
I give Bush one more year at most in office if things continue on as they are going. The Repubs are probably shitting their pants BIG TIME today.
The dirt is about to fly. And then, we have the Congressional investigations.
Oh my God.
Everything we have been screaming for is happening.

Its really quite fascinating. He was swallowed and then managed to get out (or something like that....) I just want to get the complete story first by checking out the coverage from the 15 different media sources covering this important story and then I'll be diarying later. Be sure to look for it. I'm sure it will make the Rec list.

Cheney told Libby but Libby isn't being accused of leaking Plame's name to the press.
If Fitzgerald had Cheney he would have charged him.
It makes Cheney look bad, sure.
