Getting by

Jul 16, 2005 02:17

I went swimming in the Green River earlier. It's a pretty silly river. It's some rocks with running water and a little swimming hole. It was still fun though. Tomorrow I will wake up early (again) and drive to Agawam for Six Flags, then go to Wesleyan...which is closer to Agawam than Williamstown is. So like, I don't know if anyone reads this who's ( Read more... )

Yeah, I agree the Valerie Plame leak is the tip of the iceberg, and oddly enough seems to be taking media attention away from the Downing Street memo (not to mention things like this, http://query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F10710F6385C0C7B8CDDAF0894DD404482). Still wtf, Fleischer and Libby are implicated now?

Any grown man that goes by the name "Scooter" deserves to be under some sort of scrutiny.

But if they pursue this to its natural conclusion (which they won't, but still) Downing will follow.
I hope the media keeps running with this. It'll create the kind of environment for us to get some *real* work done.

I also like what Biden said in a CNN article today motomato1 July 19 2005, 01:39:42 UTC

But Sen. Joseph Biden, D-Delaware, said the issue was "so much bigger than Karl Rove."

"The underlying issue here is, whether or not Joe Wilson said things rightly or wrongly, he was right -- flat right -- that Niger was not selling yellowcake to Iraq, which was a justification for going to war," Biden said. "This was all about whether or not those who had access to intelligence information in this administration used it appropriately, not just whether or not the agency was right."

He added, "Anybody who's ever made a mistake in this administration has never paid at all. Everyone who has been right in this administration has been fired."
