^^^ HELP IMPEACH TODAY
Help keep the pressure on Congress... Talking about impeachment wakes people up... They question, it's a strong motivator to get people thinking. It also lets Congress know how intense the dissapproval is for this President... They seem to be a little slow on the uptake. So please:
1) Sign petitions if you have not done so
2) Send a letter to Congress (both Senators & House rep)
3) Send a copy to the media
4) Enlist friends and family to help, ask them to chip in time
5) Spread the link around, email it (with a request to forward) post it on a blog, or in the comments of a news story.
Help out!!!
Thanks

May 13, 2006 - The role of Vice President Dick Cheney in the criminal case stemming from the outing of White House critic Joseph Wilson's CIA wife is likely to get fresh attention as a result of newly disclosed notes showing that Cheney personally asked whether Wilson had been sent by his wife on a "junket" to Africa.
Cheney's notes, written on the margins of a July 6, 2003 New York Times op-ed column by former ambassador Joseph Wilson, were included as part of a filing Friday night by prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald in the perjury and obstruction case against ex-Cheney chief of staff I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby
The notes, Fitzgerald said in his filing, show that Cheney and Libby were "acutely focused" on the Wilson column and on rebutting his criticisms of the White House's handling of pre-Iraq war intelligence...
...It is extremely rare, if not unprecedented, for Cheney's own notes to be made public. The notes—apparently obtained as a result of a grand jury subpoena—would appear to make Cheney an even more central witness than had been previously thought in the criminal probe...
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/1277.../site/newsweek/
"It's the recklessness at the top of our government, not the press' exposure of it, that has truly aided the enemy, put American lives at risk and potentially sabotaged national security,"
that's not shrill, that's an understatement.
I think a date with a ninja is in granny's future.
this must be another parody troll- 'mangy rivers'? formaldehyde doves?
although I read somewhere that in Texas there are 58 places you can go to shoot zebras... which I find more than a little sick.

If Cheney's notes see that light of day, does he shrivel up and burst into a ball of flames?
Just wondering.

Frank Rich is... shrilliant!
There was lots of speculation about why Goss was sacked. I always had doubts about the Foggo-connection theory, which appeared more a convenient excuse. Seemed like the Busheviks wanted an even more ruthless hack
i never saw it. but in that picture, yes, i do.

My theory on why you never saw it before is because it wasn't meant for you. Bill Clinton really likes women and women know that and it's very sexy.
I've said this before - men like him are fabulous to have affairs with, but terrible to be married to. God he's sexy.

So why de the MSM and the big time bloggers all completely snub Jason Leopold's reporting on Rove's indictment? Do the bloggers usually confirm their own insider sources? I mean you think there's be links to the Turthout sight from Atrios of Firedoglake, at least for speculation's sake. What gives?

How is it that Leopold/Truthout would have the scoop on a Rove indictment and no one else would? I'm a little worried about that.
If it's true they have one hell of a scoop, for sure. But if it turns out not to be true they'll be instantly relegated to CapitolHillBlue-land or worse.
from the Jason Leopold link
Saturday 13 May 2006
Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald spent more than half a day Friday at the offices of Patton Boggs, the law firm representing Karl Rove.
During the course of that meeting, Fitzgerald served attorneys for former Deputy White House Chief of Staff Karl Rove with an indictment charging the embattled White House official with perjury and lying to investigators related to his role in the CIA leak case, and instructed one of the attorneys to tell Rove that he has 24 hours to get his affairs in order, high level sources with direct knowledge of the meeting said Saturday morning.
Robert Luskin, Rove's attorney, did not return a call for comment. Sources said Fitzgerald was in Washington, DC, Friday and met with Luskin for about 15 hours to go over the charges against Rove, which include perjury and lying to investigators about how and when Rove discovered that Valerie Plame Wilson was a covert CIA operative and whether he shared that information with reporters, sources with direct knowledge of the meeting said.
It was still unknown Saturday whether Fitzgerald charged Rove with a more serious obstruction of justice charge. Sources close to the case said Friday that it appeared very likely that an obstruction charge against Rove would be included with charges of perjury and lying to investigators.

never was much for conspiracy theories till the bAdmin came along. now I can't help but wonder if Bushco has picked just this time to get rid of Goss and appoint Hayden during the Senate recess next week.
from talkleft:
Leopold reports the charges include lying to investigators and perjury before the grand jury but it is not yet known if obstruction of justice is one of the charges.
If obstruction is off the table, there's still a chance Karl Rove can avoid prison by pleading guilty and continuing to cooperate with Fitzgerald. If prison is unavoidable, I think Karl Rove will fight.
If Leopold is right and the charges are perjury and lying to an investigator, then Fitz is still working on the main charge.
He might not have enough to charge the real culprits, but it might be enough to get the House of Representatives interested enough to look at what he does have against them come January, 2007.
Wow. Now, if Frank Rich and Paul Krugman could make babies, THEY'd be really shrill!
Can you say, "coordinated White House effort to smear administration opponents and out a covert agent"?

What protocol do you suppose they're following?
well, is it simply a sniff test of one's own divising? Clearly there are professional reporter blogs who are figure are doing it as journalism. Then there are the blogs like Atrios which mix opinion and link to news elsewhere and the interplay between news, posts and comments is all of worth . Then there are those who react & link to what we read elsewhere, but aren't breaking stories.
But none of that is protocol I suppose. Still, I'm wondering when they decide to link to a story or not. Is it just the old sniff test, and do some of these guys share the same sniff test?
Someone,
troll Ror, make him happy.

If Leopold's story was the first we'd heard of the possibility that Rove was going to be indicted, I'd be far more skeptical myself. But all signs point in this direction anyway.
Oh, and that PDF showing Cheney's notes? He's up to his narcoleptic neck in this, like we all suspected.

Not that they don't usually disappoint, but I would imagine Dick's notes are going to be a major talking point over the next week.
And source of humor. My mind is already contemplating the possibilities and I'm not even funny.
I haven't trusted Leopold since he called that nice Michelle Malkin a wog.
What a great day when an old theatre critic's political wisdom forecloses the Bush White House.
And let me shout it from the Teton ountain tops out here in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
The Rich is different from you and me.
Still, I'm wondering when they decide to link to a story or not.
This is a huge story, one that everyone has been following since Novak's column first appeared and Joe Wilson used those immortal words Rove and frogmarched.
Patience on this one.
And it looks like we'll all be rewarded for ours.

Of course if/when Rove does his frog march, the pleasure will be almost past. By letting it twist out there in the wind...it's like a long delicious stint of foreplay.
My mind is already contemplating the possibilities and I'm not even funny.
I'm trying to google (with no luck) who said back when Libby was going to be indicted (sp?) that Fitz was holding ~20 indictments. Was it Leopold?
I am reminded of that video clip of Karl Rove bobbing about outside aimlessly with other WH bots, and then getting a look on his face along with body language that suggests nothing so much as hostile, loud and deadly farting.
They are at their most dangerous at this very moment. Expect the worst. We all know they plan to do it. American lives mean nothing to them, only money and power. They will strike again. BTW Grandma sounds a lot like the cat lady on The Simpsons. Anyone else see the resemblence?
www.whatreallyhappened.com
They'll do it again.
"Ex-CIA Director Porter Goss should not be allowed to "escape into retirement unexamined," Rich argues, calling him "so inept that an overzealous witch hunter might mistake him for a Qaida double agent.""
Egads! The man sounds slightly pisseth.
I know Leopold got into some trouble with his ENRON reporting, which is probably why there has been some reluctance now to run with him when there have been no clear corroborating reports.
Yay!! They're going to have to talk about this tomorrow moring - on the talkfest!!!

doesn't that sound like something lynne cheney would come up with. she's as noxious as they come and most definitely the type to attempt a smear of this sort -- unless of course, it was the lesbo daughter... lol.

Controversy
In 2002, Salon.com retracted an article by Leopold which had implicated Bush administration official Thomas White in the Enron scandal after it could not verify that the contents of the article were accurate. Afterwards, Leopold and Salon.com's editor engaged in an online debate over the incident with Leopold sticking to his story and the Salon.com editor accusing Leopold of a seperate plagiarism incident. [1] [2]
Prior to writing News Junkie, Mr. Leopold had written a book entitled Off the Record. The book's release was permanently cancelled, however, following legal threats from one of the subjects of the book.[3] In that book, Mr. Leopold planned to reveal many secrets of his life as a journalist such as a prior drug addiction, bouts with mental illness and suicide attempts, breaking journalistic rules, and lying to employers about a criminal conviction. [4]
Time for a terror alert, isn't it?
update from talkleft.com:
Update: Jason said the meeting lasted 15 hours. That tells me they were hammering out a plea deal to the charges. Were they successful in coming to terms? Stay tuned.
Update: I'm still thinking out the scenarios. If I had to take bets, I'd say efforts at a plea agreement failed. Why? This line from Jason's report:
[Fitzgerald] instructed one of the attorneys to tell Rove that he has 24 hours to get his affairs in order, high level sources with direct knowledge of the meeting said Saturday morning.
It sounds to me like they went round and round for hours and weren't able to come to a meeting of the minds. So my take is Karl Rove will be fighting the Indictment.
Bring the stocks and pillories to the Mall in DC!
probably why there has been some reluctance now to run with him when there have been no clear corroborating reports.

look, if the indictment is for real, it will be public soon enough. otoh, had the major bloggers gone with it and it turns out not true, how conveeeeeniet to marginalize those 'screaming, hysterical leftie bloggers who spread malicious gossip about the president's mainman'. not that the gop and its little trollies would ever stoop to that level...
sorry - that was all from talkleft.com - forgot tags.
Frank Rich is Shrill ...
and God bless him.
It's about time someone in the media pointed out that the traitors are in the White House, starting with Rove and Libby's sell-out of our intelligence gathering capability on Iran's nuclear ambitions.
Most traitors do it for money. Rove and Libby did it for politcal advantage in the daily news cycle. How many Americans will die because of their treason, that's the remaining question.

"IF Karl is indicted...does that mean that he will not get his medal of honor?."
I don't know. I think at this point in time the only thing he can be awarded is "The Odor of the Purple Fart" given for being indicted while shoving bullshit down the people's throat.
I know Leopold got into some trouble with his ENRON reporting, which is probably why there has been some reluctance now to run with him when there have been no clear corroborating reports.

From Josh Marshall:
From Isikoff ...
The role of Vice President Dick Cheney in the criminal case stemming from the outing of White House critic Joseph Wilson's CIA wife is likely to get fresh attention as a result of newly disclosed notes showing that Cheney personally asked whether Wilson had been sent by his wife on a "junket" to Africa.
Cheney's notes, written on the margins of a July 6, 2003 New York Times op-ed column by former ambassador Joseph Wilson, were included as part of a filing Friday night by prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald in the perjury and obstruction case against ex-Cheney chief of staff I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby.
Great footage on CNN of George Bush senior and Bill Clinton, the son he always wanted, at Tulane U in New Orleans. - Troutski
Cuts both ways IMO. Bill's found the dad he always wanted.
While the images make great PR for Hillary's presidential ambitions, Clinton has shown a propensity to offer in kind services, namely supporting the unsupportable because W is George senior's son and it doesn't pay to criticize a dad's son.

Stalk rap for Monica prober
Married & chasing mistress, says sister-in-law
BY DORIAN BLOCK and JONATHAN LEMIRE
DAILY NEWS WRITERS
A former prosecutor who investigated Bill Clinton's affair with Monica Lewinsky was still a married man when he allegedly stalked his former lover in Manhattan, his estranged wife's sister said yesterday.
Robert Ray, the independent counsel who helped probe the Clintons' Whitewater land deal - later spawning the Lewinsky investigation - surrendered to cops Thursday.
His ex-girlfriend, Tracy Loughlin, had told police that Ray - a former GOP Senate candidate from New Jersey - had obsessively followed her and blanketed her with unwanted calls and e-mails after their breakup four months ago.

Just got here, read the post below about Cheney in the weeks after 9/11.
Which brings to mind, among other questions that don't seem to be asked, because of the press' lack of imagination...the classic example of course is the 7 minutes, and how the hell did Bush know, sitting on his ass, that there were no further threats to worry about.
Why does the press ask this...in ANY other administration, in the weeks after the attacks took place, there'd be a heavy paper/e-mail/meeting trail, evidence of a postmortem on such a horrific event.
IT DOESN'T MATTER if they considered themselves absolutely positively one-hundred-percent non-culpable. There'd still have been a post-mortem, a self-appraisal, a FEW GODDAMN SLEEPLESS NIGHTS where department heads were summoned and probing questions were asked.
Has there been any evidence whatsoever that this administration did its due diligence in the aftermath of 9/11? Why have they never been asked to account for themselves?
'Wish I had his link, he demostrates the need for restraint quite well. The prevailing logic is that Clinton-bashers really took it in the shorts over the impeachment proceedings. The same could happen to the Dems.
I am in favor of impeachment, but *only* if there is public outcry for it. Use investigations to build demand for it, *then* impeach when the 71-percenters are howling for Dubya's scalp.

"There was a lot of smoke and not very much fire," said Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva after a breakfast meeting with Bolivia's new left-wing leader Evo Morales at a Vienna hotel to patch relations after the May 1 nationalization.
Morales said planned increases in the price of Bolivian gas vital to Brazil's industry would be negotiated "rationally".
He said he looked forward to visiting Brazil. "I'm keen to watch some football with the Brazilian president," he said.
Why does the press NOT ask this, I of course meant to say in paragraph 3.
Faulkner was right. The passed isn't over. It isn't even past.

fwiw, via wayne madsen:
May 13, 2006 -- Yesterday afternoon, WMR was staked out at the E. Barrett Prettyman Federal Courthouse in Washington awaiting any developments in the CIA leak case. A little after noon, a large motorcade consisting of black and one green SUV, several police cars and police motorcycles sped into the street behind the courthouse. Two SUVs split from the motorcade and quickly dashed into the underground parking garage. Several personal security officers were spotted on guard in the annex of the courthouse where the CIA leak case grand jury was meeting. Although there is no final confirmation that the motorcade was that of Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, there is every indication that he spent approximately a little under 30 minutes in the courthouse.
Last October, Gonzales made a similar trip to the courthouse on a Friday to hear the decision of the grand jury investigating Vice President Dick Cheney's Chief of Staff I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby. The Attorney General's appearance at the grand jury is a formality and there is an opportunity for him to pose questions to the jury. After last October's visit to the grand jury, Gonzales informed the White House that Libby was to be indicted. One week later, Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald delivered a five count indictment against Libby.

And what gives Shuster even more credence is that there was no denial from Rove's lawyers---maybe the only time during the entire investigation that specific speculation---a forecast of a Rove indictment---was not met by huff and puff repudiation.
It's coming, the Rove stigmata, and Shuster's at Brooks Brothers, I hear, being measured for laurels.
Pelosi says "impeachment is off the table."
Has it occurred to any of the angry ones that
1. She might be lying.
2. She might not actually have the authority to make it so.
3. That we actually have to win a majority in the House if not the Senate as well, for impeachment to even become a possibility?

I dunno. I've been interrupted several times today. I had to help Mr. Tena become intensely frustrated with trying to assemble the elliptical (I think I'll finish putting it together, we've had it for almost a month now and I finally saw today why it is still in pieces); I had to take time out to have an argument with him over something utterly ridiculous and because he was mad at someone else and took it out on me - you know, Saturday.

He said he looked forward to visiting Brazil. "I'm keen to watch some football with the Brazilian president," he said.
I'm just glad he didn't say he looked into his eyes and took the measure of his soul.
What was Franklin's admonition to the bystander after the Constitutional Convention? (I think my history right.) "We've given you a republic, if you can keep it."
It seems safe to say than never has the republic been in such political jeopardy, save the Civil War.

Jour weesh, she has been granted, no?
Rova,
I am sorry to say that, een a small way, Pelosi may be right.
But only eensofar as a Democrat controlled Congress would no by eetself have the votes to impeach el Chimperador. Thus eet may find better uses for eet's time een investigating all the crimes, cronyism, and incompetence of thees administration.
Also, I regret to have to say that much of the U.S. populacho would not support impeachment, even though they do no like the theengs that el Chimperador's administration has done to them.
Reluctantly, I must say that I find eet ees better to render el Chimperador impotent for the rest of hees term and ride that eento the 08 election, than waste time on an impeachment that would no stand, and would only re-energize the republiculo base before 08'.
I would rather go eento 08' weeth the Republiculo base demoralised, and their leaders lying low weeth clouds of dissapproval over their heads.
Of course, others may see eet differently.
No as good as I remembered eet, but really, what ees?
so.

After the fiasco 8 years ago, it's important that there be no perception of "Impeachment II, Democrat Bugaloo". If the polls show suppport, burn his ass. If not, don't stick your head in the cannon. Which is generally good advice, anyway.

I told this earlier; I guess I didn't want keep repeating it boringly.
Yes, very. The whole family spent summers together growing up. This cousin was just a little older than Mr. Tena and a more wonderful interesting person you couldn't hope to find. He was a wonderful liberal man who headed a commission on sweatshops and traveled all over the world trying to put a stop to them. He fell down the stairs in his apartment and suffered severe head trauma.
Everyone is just devastated. He was Mr. Tena's aunt's oldest son. I adore his aunt - she is so dear. She raised some of the most interesting adults I've ever met. And that was in Georgia, with an overbearing husband.
Yes, El Gato Negro: that was Shitman.
Tena, I'm sorry about Mr. Tena's cousin. That is a terrible story.
"bungeehole"...
A new sport! Give the fool a cord 10 feet too long, then dig an eleven foot deep hole, and mark a big X on the bottom. Bungee target diving!
Tena, I'm sorry for the tragic death (or imminent death) in your family, too.
Condolences to Mr. Tena.

UNE DigiLynchMobBoss™
But you see, UNE, your willingness to help has flown across the country and swarmed the various players in the debacle - and imbued them with the desire not to be in dutch with me! To the point where now they are calling and pleading with me not to do anything rash or untoward - to trust them to have the problem fixed by Tuesday!
Well, hell, okay. Like spa interruptus for three more days is going to make any big deal difference, but anyway. We're giving it our best shot.
I'm gonna be an ass and repeat myself, but I'd really like to hear another opinion on this:
Do you not think it's something the administration should be hammered on, that there is little to no evidence they went through any formal process of self-examination after 9/11? As to, what they could've done better...a process that any responsible WH would carry out as a matter of due diligence, even in a case where no fault was being attached to them, but because it's what responsible entities DO after events of such magnitude?
And don't you think that if leftblogistan succeeded in getting the issue out there, that BushCo's subsequent failure to come up with a paper trail of postmortem e-mails/meeting minutes, etc., would be pretty goddamn embarrassing?
Tena,
I have a cousin who is a nurse whose job it is at these times to approach the family and ask for organ donations. I always wondered how she dealt with distraught people in these situations, but she was telling me recently that the vast majority of families are extremely receptive to the idea.
But anyway, let's not be sad.

smalfish,
I've brought this up in the past - for about two weeks right after 9/11, questions were being asked - lots of them. Then "You're either with us or against us" was uttered, and everything shut down.
Everything has started back into motion now - in the manner of an avalanche. We might actually hear something about that day before this is all said and done.

Sallyh! - I saw some of yesterdays threads and read that you got tenure! Congratulations! And of course it's richly deserved. How did you celebrate?
As far as impeaching the Chimp goes, let's see what develops. He could end up resigning and taking that whole thing off the table. Don't think he might not - he's run from every other disaster he caused.
MSNBC prez Kaplan is said to be giddy about the whole thing and is certain that Shuster will be proved right. Also he intends to present David with a huge bonus and a promotion of some kind at the denouement.
Shuster's reports exist in a kind of vacuum when they're featured on Hardbollocks: the Tweety panels that follow basically brush them off and pick up their own 'facts'. He gets more chance to talk when he's on Countdown, but that's because Keith's guests -- esp. John Dean -- offer a different and not-particularly-conventional wisdom.
If he doesn't get a Peabody for them, then I don't know what you need to do.

CIA Leak Court Filing Focuses on Cheney
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON (AP) -- In a new court filing, the prosecutor in the CIA leak case revealed that Vice President Dick Cheney made handwritten references to CIA officer Valerie Plame -- albeit not by name -- eight days before her identity was publicly exposed.
The new court filing is the second in little more than a month by Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald mentioning Cheney as being closely focused with his then-chief of staff, I. Lewis Libby, on Plame's CIA identity and on her husband, Bush administration critic Joseph Wilson.
With the two court filings, Fitzgerald has pointed to an important role for the vice president in the weeks leading up to the leaking of Plame's identity.
In the latest court filing late Friday, Fitzgerald said he intends to introduce at Libby's trial a copy of Wilson's op-ed article in The New York Times ''bearing handwritten notations by the vice president.''

Investigate phone spying, Clark says
The former NATO commander is stumping for Leonard Boswell on a two-day Iowa visit.

REGISTER STAFF WRITER
May 13, 2006
Retired Army Gen. Wesley Clark said in Iowa Friday that the Bush administration's tracking of millions of private telephone calls as part of its war on terrorism warranted a full congressional investigation.
The former NATO commander and 2004 Democratic candidate for president said Congress needs to sort out the controversy as a way of maintaining its check on the presidential power.
"If you have a president, for reasons he believes are legitimate for national security, who is accused of misleading people about the extent of the program, and nobody knows what the extent of the program is, then I think a full congressional investigation is mandated," Clark said.

It would be nice, but this time there are too many facsists who could be hung out to dry if he just walks away- 'cause he and Cheney and Condi all would have to go.
The flip side is this: if we don't prosecute all of these bastards- impeachment, racketeering, war crimes, the Hague, whatever we can, they'll be back at us.
They are agents, and if the companies they represent aren't unravelled out in the open where all can see, we'll have a replay in 2012.

--" HELP IMPEACH TODAY"
If people would get realistic about this, they would support the "Censure"movement of Russ Feingold.
It`s pretty obvious that Republicans will never go for an impeachment even though Bush and gang have committed many provable felonies--like lying us into war with Iraq, the NSA spying,torture policy,Gitmo, outing a CIA agent,just to name a few.
But the Dems don`t overtly support Feingold,and the Repubs never will,so what are we doing trying to impeach before we even censure?
We`re like a bunch of enablers waiting for the drunk to screw up so badly that somebody will do something;but almost nobody ever does,and when they do we don`t support them.And we wonder why our civil liberties are going to hell in a handbasket.
It's really coming crashing down! I can't believe it! I feel giddy as a school boy -

I'm leaning towards believing it, just because....if Leopold is wrong, he'll never be considered credible about anything he writes ever again. And he'd have to be wingnut-thick not to realize that either.
