COMMENT THREAD
Bill O'Reilly invents the concept of the "open transcript"
From AP via TPM Muckraker:
Former Deputy Interior Secretary Steven Griles will plead guilty to one count of obstruction of justice in the Jack Abramoff corruption investigation, The Associated Press has learned.
Griles, an oil and gas lobbyist who became an architect of President Bush's energy policies while at the Interior Department between July 2001 and July 2005, is the highest ranking Bush administration official implicated in the Washington lobbying scandal.
The former No. 2 official at the Interior Department has agreed to a felony plea admitting that he lied five times to the Senate Indian Affairs Committee and its investigators about his relationship with Abramoff, people involved in the case told the AP....

Good morning!
So scared about this UK/Iran dust up.
Let's hope the Limey's have their shit together a bit better than we do.
(diplomatically speaking, of course)
YEA! It's FRIDAY. . . Gonzo watch continues and the clock is ticking on Joe Conason's prediction.

IHMO. . .I keep thinking that there is no way that UK will attack Iran because it will unleash a nuclear debacle that will prevent any country from stealing their oil.
but the stinky boy bush doctrine is - Diplomacy, we don't need no stinkin' diplomacy.
I hate him and all his asskissers.

Someone tell Joel how funny he isn't. Is it possible he's considered funny in Minnesota?
The joke of it is.. the woman still [purposefully] got it wrong ... like a good little soldier...\
You didn't hear the part where he says "cut her mike! cut her mike!... what are we goonna do to her? what are we gonna do to her?"
stop talking...............................

IF o'really could read, he needs to read the stipulations (rules) that the bushies said would be required before the liars could appear before Congress. Specifically - no transcript!
so there it is... a record of harrassment on air ... sue him girlfriend... this is one case where no one will question if it was a gratuitous litigation...
edna!

Good morning edna ellen poe....!

Catherine,

I got the sammycam from the AAR main page downliaded into REAL....the AAR player thing with the info gathering tool sucks...
If Im a premium member and Ive been a member since the moment they went on the air, why do they need some info about me over and over again?
This Maron thing is really really sad. I hope that hes getting other radio offers because it would be great to hear him in long format again...
And I hope that hes not deciding this in resignation because Sammy is in danger. he sounds disgusted in his letter.
If AAR messes with Sammy then Im finished with them.
Does Sam IM during the breaks?
Im not usually home during this time.
Melina,
Tried that. No luck. Thanks anyway.
Good Morning all!
Spector offers compromise. They appear in front of the congress but not take an oath.
I want those sons of bitches to take an oath!!
Call or email Arlen Specter and tell him you want them under oath.

If US Attorneys serve at the pleasure of the President, does that mean that the one's who were fired weren't pleasuring the President enough?
The problem with arguing this issue of subpoenas on its merits is pointless because the administration is bent on asserting its unlimited power and freedom from Congressional oversight.
Check out this great piece by John Dean here.
Whether Rove and Miers should testify under oath (they should) or whether it's reasonable NOT to give them the benefit of the doubt (it is) is moot.
If congress backs down on this or if they lose in the courts, there will effectively be NO checks on presidential power. I think you could say, without risk of bombast, that democracy, as we know it, is finished.

“The U.S. military’s faulty war plans and insufficient troops in Iraq left thousands and possibly millions of tons of conventional munitions unsecured or in the hands of insurgent groups after the 2003 invasion — allowing widespread looting of weapons and explosives used to make roadside bombs that cause the bulk of U.S. casualties,” according to a Government Accountability Office report released yesterday.

New emails show that “two months before Bud Cummins was fired as U.S. attorney in Little Rock,” Rove protege Tim Griffin “was maneuvering with the Justice Department to take” Cummins’ place. “Some of the thousands of pages of e-mails released this week underscore the extraordinary planning and effort, at the highest levels of the Justice Department and White House, to secure Griffin a job.” “The evidence runs contrary to assurances from Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales that no such move had been planned.”

well toniD, just like rummy said, you go to war with the administration you got, not the one you wish you had.
let the war crime trials begin...
Call or email Arlen Specter and tell him you want them under oath.

Tonid,
On October 8, 2006, Ex CIA Agent Ray McGovern came to Upper Arlington Ohio. I went to the lecture. One of the matters he discussed was Arlan Specter- and the warrant less wiretapping. If you notice, Specter usually surrenders to the Bush demands.
According to McGovern, now keep this on the down low Tonid, Specter is having an affair. They've got the goods on him. McGovern dropped her name.
SHHHH! Keep it on the down low, y'all.

How come on the Majority Report blog it says "SAM CAM" instead of "SAMMYCAM"? Did someone decide "Sammy" was undignified or something?
I mean, I don't know if I like the change in tone, there. It sounds so... uncasual.
Joel fired? How sweet would that be. He could go back to Minnesota and not be funny there.

it doesn't pass the smell test. c'mon if you were as old as specter is and getting it on the side, would you keep it quiet?
Specter? an affair? eeewwww! Yech!
Jeez what woman would want him!!
What you need to know about Tony Blair.
And if you're wondering why he's still in Number 10, it's because Gordon Brown is the heir apparent, and people like him even less than they like Blair, so there's really no hurry, is there?

Another ousted U.S. prosecutor speaks out. Former Michigan U.S. Attorney Margaret Chiara “said in an interview that a senior Justice Department official had told her that her resignation was necessary to create a slot for ‘an individual they wanted to advance.’ The identity of the likely replacement was not disclosed, she said.”

Rush Holt (NJ 12th) has been pushing election reform legislation for years, and it now looks like it's moving through Congress.

Re your caller's remarks on 911 this morning. May I suggest you go to the website of Controlled Demolition Inc and watch some of the video clips there of buildings being taken down? (http://www.controlled-demolition.com)
Watch how it's done. Then go look again at the Trade Center towers coming down. And watch again. Are you seeing what we see?
CDI was of course the contractor on the "clean-up" of WTC; (it also "cleaned up" the Murrah Building in Oklahoma City.)
One last quickie: watch the CBS video of Larry Silverstein saying, of WTC7 which collapsed perfectly at 5pm that day, "We decided to pull it. So we did. We pulled it."
Now think about that.
Oh, and don't bother going to our friend Markos to see what he thinks- the following is posted in the DKos guidelines:
-quote-
"DailyKos accepts that the 9/11 attacks were perpetrated by agents of Al-Qaeda. It is forbidden to write diaries that:
1. refer to claims that American, British, Israeli, or any government assisted in the attacks
2. refer to claims that the airplanes that crashed into the WTC and Pentagon were not the cause of the damage to those buildings or their subsequent collapse
Authoring or recommending these diaries may result in banning from Daily Kos."
