Nah.
Pot, calling Kettle! Bricker, he was saying the same thing about you. Only Luci was much more eloquent.
When their little boy was just 5 years old, his mother and father wanted to find out what the future would hold for their child. So they went to their Priest and asked him what their little boy would grow up to be. The priest suggested a quick test: put a bible, a pile of money, a bottle of beer, and an encylopedia on the table. If the little boy picked up the bible, he would become a priest. If the little boy picked up the money, he would become a great businessman, always seeking and making money. If the little boy picked up the beer, he would become an drunk. And if the little boy picked up the encylopedia, he would become an amazing scholar.
When they had set up the test, the boy’s mother went and brought the little boy into the rooml. The boy immediately ran to the table, grabbed the Bible, stuck the money in his pocket, drank the entire beer, and began to read the encyclopedia. The confused parents turned to the priest and asked what it meant.
The priest just shook his head and said: He’s going to be a Jesuit.
-Hamlet, graduate of a fine Jesuit univeristy.
You are generous to the point of extravagance, I am hindered, it is difficult to type while blushing. But spare a thought for friend Bricker, without the lift of his inspiration there would be nothing, he breaks the wind beneath my wings.
Did Isaac ASimov really write such a story with such an idiotic premise?
Dunno, somebody did, 'cause I read it, but it is lost in the dimness.
Well, I was curious, so I had to find out.
I believe the story in question is “Von Goom’s Gambit” by a guy named Victor Contoski. Published in a book of short science fiction stories called Mad Scientists edited by Asimov.
No need to thank me for this entirely meaningless contribution. It’s what I’m here for.
Well, here it is: Newsweek Outs Rove As Plame Leaker
Now the only question is whether Bush covers him or not.
from the leak, possible perjury in front of grand jury or both?
Here’s the Newsweek story itself:
What Karl Rove told Time magazine’s reporter.
This dates from 11:07 AM July 11. Novak’s story came out on the 14th, but Creator’s Syndicate distributed it over AP wire sometime on the 11th.
It’s still possible that Rove spent the morning of the 11th sitting in front of the AP tickertape, and scanning the fax for pictures of Australian gals in bikinis.
Disclaimer: AP probably doesn’t use tickertape or fax machines anymore, and if they did, they probably wouldn’t distribute shots of Australian girls in bikinis either. That’s how the system worked during Watergate.
I can hear it now, the Apologistas carrying Rove out on their shoulders, crying aloud with glad voices “Technicaly, Not Indictable!”
Well, sure, the White House used its assets to smear and undermine someone who had the unmitigated gall to speak truth to power. But, hey, everybody does it and this is war and look! over there! a shiny white woman, gone missing! And its a darn shame that a loyal public reptile…servant, public servant like Rover should be pilloried because he loves America too much.
Whether legal or not, it was underhanded and despicable. Our leaders are despicable. Be ashamed, be very ashamed.
Just like the fnord encrusted Perle whose transgressions are heinous to all but beltway insiders apparently.
If Cooper is to be believed, then - so far as I know - Rove lied to the grand jury.
Unless the grand jury discounts Cooper’s testimony as incredible, then we should see an indictment for Rove. (Obviously, this depends on the specifics of Rove’s testimony and any other evidence the grand jury considered that I’m not aware of). But based on this, it looks as though Rove should be indicted.
Still nothing.
They’re waiting for the spin machine to give them their talking points tomorrow morning.
He’s being hounded by the liberals because he loves America too much.
Bet me.
Show of hands. Who’s holding their breath? Anyone? Mmm?
The Repubbiestas clearly timed Hurricane Dennis to coincide with the Newsweek story. By the this time next week, Dubya and Jeb will be distributing emergency aid supplies in Florida, holding the hands of orphans, and the Sheeple will have forgotten all about the leak–with a little help from the Megacorporation-controlled mass news media!
BWAHAHAHAHA!
Oh, like anyone’s surprised that Rove’s behind it all.
