half the people in washington should probably be in jail.
All you have to do is look at who produced this video. No need to actually watch it. Only liberals have the time or energy for this kind of stuff. They are waisting endless amounts of time calling in anyone they care to screw. They don’t have a case on any of them. They are just trying to catch them in a lie or contradiction. Doesn’t matter if it’s relavent not.
Pretty productive. I guess they have nothing else to do.
Yes

Of course he should go to jail. He disagreed with a liberal, and that is grounds for going to jail.
And as they said he outed Plame. And even though it was actually a Democrat that did it, he should obviously get the blame.
Think like a liberal or go to jail. Sounds like a plan to me.
I think it was Armitage that outed Plame. This is purely an abuse of power by Congress. Dirty politics.
I wish everyone would quit thinking that Democrats are liberal and Republicans are conservative. They’re all just government. And whatever the assholes on one side do, the assholes on the other just sit there and let them do it up to the point where it’s too late, then the stink begins.
A great deal of the ruling class should go to prison but very few of them actually will.
The Dems should remember that the jailhouse door can just as easily swing closed behind Democrats as it can Republicans.
The US has a history of not jailing the party that’s not in party. The current regime in congress needs to remember that.
Err… didn’t he run away from an indictment? Is that illegal or is it protected by the fifth?

He ran away from a subpoena, I don’t think he has been indicted from anything.

Outed him from what? Sitting besides a pool at some resort in Nigeria drinking booze and socializing with local dignitaries?
“Hey, did you guys sell any Uranium?”
“No.”
“I had to ask. Whatever. What were we talking about? Waiter, can I have another mai-tai?”

That sums it up nicely.

Actually most of the Democrats are very liberal, at least they pretend to be. Very few of the Republicans are conservatives these days or even pretend to be. Pretty sad on both accounts. I don’t think I will ever get to vote for someone I actually like. Always the lesser of two evils.

They have both moved to the left unfortunately.
But I never see it as lesser of 2 evils. I really do not believe either candidate is evil. But no matter what, one will be better for America then the other. I find it kind of obvious as to who that is.
I always vote based on what would be best for America, or least bad.

Well… is that legal?
Wasn’t it for Congress, and not a court of law? I believe the White House argued separation of powers.
Anyway the reason they did not want to comply was that this was not any real situation, but instead was done for political reasons to make Rove look bad, and as a result the Bush administration look bad, to help get Democrats in office.
Is Rove an actual part of the Bush admin? I thought he was just an unchaired advisor.

Outed HER, his wife, not him. He was the one looking for uranium while she was a classified undercover CIA.

LOl. Pretty much everyone in DC knew that broad was working for the CIA. It was no secret. That’s what diplomats do - gather intelligence. It still doesn’t change the substance of what I was saying. The substance of their intelligence gathering involved sitting around drinking with local dignitaries. The fact that Plame’s identity was officially classified as “Secret” is a formality.
No one in Washington should be trusted with any national security issues except the people working in the Pentagon. The CIA is more of a source of disinformation than information and Washington is full of people who can’t keep their mouths shut. The fact that the wife of a diplomat is giving information to her government’s intelligence service is assumed by everyone.

No but an indictment is worse than a subpoena. A subpoena is a call to testify. An indictment is charges against someone.
