I’m enjoying the Valerie Wilson hearings. I have to warn Mr. Wilson that I’m kind of falling for his wife. She’s fantastic. And imagine…she’s trained in hand-to-hand combat, she knows how to blow stuff up, she can drive a get-away car, she’s a marksman…
Okay, enough about my infatuations. I can’t wait for Victoria Toensing to testify. Ms. Wilson has destroyed every single one of Toensing’s talking points. It should be a massacre.
She’s a perfect witness. Only the biggest swallowers of the Bush Kool Aid could even suggest otherwise.
Yup. She was really enjoying herself, too. The funny thing was how so few Republicans made an appearance and how they had nothing to say except that maybe people didn’t know she was covert.
Thatw as priceless. Westmoreland ended up looking like the nincompoop he is.
And Plame. I’m jealous of Joe Wilson.
I feel a little uncomfortable sharing your “feelings!”
Great TeeVee!
Ms. Wilson has destroyed every single one of Toensing’s talking points. It should be a massacre.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
….and several times, she has! Good for her too!
I too am so glad she is a good one to testify to this and she is very good. I hope, but am not sure, many of the right wing talking heads are watching, as well. I can imagine the wrenching in their gut right now…:o)….I hope it really hurts too….I hope that they are all with diarrhea just about now. Did you see the grin when asked about r. novack….I hope he is watching too. He is the actual traitor in my opinion. he had the option of not writing his article in the very first place. Yet he is out of jail. All that are involved are still not punished for this…all of them! What a disgrace!
When I first heard of this being dday for this hearing I saw to it that I got this very day off from work so I could watch. It is time for this all to come out in the open and get resolved.
Rumour has it that she’s got a thing for you as well.
Too bad he has her name spelled V-i-c-t-o-r-i-a in the title up there… 🙂
Boo’s fingers got discombobulated there!
I know she is aware that Susan named one of her raccoons after her and she got a kick out of that. And I met Mr. Wilson briefly and I know he is a fan of the site. But I wouldn’t say that would translate into your assertion.
It was merely snark, but highly believable after seeing the famous photo of you in boxers. 😉
Okay. I believe you then. She clearly has a huge crush on me.
Ooh ooh, they are swearing in the witnesses.
James Knodell, the Director of the White House Office of Security, is testifying.
In a way, I have somewhat of an advantage over those that watched the hearings. I don’t have cable so all I could do was Listen and listen I did. What a difference. One has to really listen and what I heard was a quite striking commentary regarding the depths to which the current administration is willing to go in order to protect their followers, regardles of what they have done.
Given the fact that C-span didn’t see fit to let us know which representatives were attending and what party they were members of, it appeared that there were only a few if any goopers present. Was that correct?
Any how, Ms Plame stated quite clearly that she was Undercover. Now, either she was Lying or she wasn’t. Now, are we going to be treated to a gooper response later? What the hell. As a rapidly aging “peacenik” I just find it ridiculously hard to believe that this women is a liar. However, I am puzzled as to why the dems are still apparantly still unwilling to stand up and call out these lying bastards. If they think that this will insure victory in 08 thay are completely out of their mind.
I’ve had the same problem with listening to hearings on C-Span radio when the names are not announced. Today, the only two Republicans who were there were ranking member Tom Davis and Lynn Westmoreland, GA-03. Looks like the Repubs observe TGIF.
You would have had to hear Waxman call the Dems by name if the announcer didn’t; Yarmouth started it off. Others who were there for various lengths of time were Cummings, Watson, Hodes, Lynch, Sarbanes, Kucinich, Holmes Norton and Van Hollen.
Bill Leonard is the Information Security Oversight Office Director for the National Archives. He’s talking now.
Thought he was an idiot this morning…now it’s apparent. He’s trying to blame the CIA?
Right. Bob Novak calls and asks whether Valerie Wilson works there, and she is covert so they can’t confirm that. Instead, they tell him not to publish that. He does anyway. It’s the CIA’s fault.
This is so amusing.
Another Bush lie … Bush said that the White House would hold investigations on the leak, but Dr. James Knodell the DIRECTOR, OFFICE OF SECURITY, THE WHITE HOUSE!!! says no investigation has ever taken place to his knowledge.
Waxman says incredully … (paraphrasing): An obligation of the White House to conduct an immediate investigation to firstly determine whether they needed to suspecnd security clearances, secondly to discipline those involved, and thirdly to find out who divulged it.
The White House had to act b/c this was a matter of the highest national security importance.
And it was not done.
They had months and months to do this before Fitz began his investigation and they did nothing.
That was amazing.
Dereliction of duty, indeed. And how about that muttering of the answers?
by Watson. He sounds like he as no clue and was just sent out w/out any preparation.
Heckuva job Knodell.
OMG … this is freaking scary … they are truly corrupt.
Nice take off on Hodes questioning…
Love the selective declassification lines on the NIE.
Now she’s questioning why Rove has a security clearance!
Excellent!
this has been my question for a very long time!
eleanor is making that guy poop his pants
But she keeps running out of time. She was all set up with press conference videos and org charts too and it took forever for them to get those up or were not able to at all! oy!
waxman wants victorias blowjob limited to 5 minutes….
While most everyone visiting this site knows the facts surrounding Plamegate and what was really going on at the White House, I am concerned that they called Vickie T. last. The general public — watching C-Span might very well have believed her…..or at least felt (not-beyond-a-reasonable-doubt) CONFUSED by her adamant testimony about criminal intent, etc.
Not good to leave that as the last thing they hear. If she’d come in first, the others after her — including the amazing Valerie P. Wilson — might have had the chance to rebut what she was doing.
BLAMING THE CIA!!! Falling back on the old Well-George-Tenent-SAID-it-was-a”slam-dunk” (re WMD) argument. How were WE to know otherwise? sigh
I just mean what SEEMS quite obvious to all of us about today’s hearings…..may very well NOT be to people not so well versed in the whole case. sigh
Thank you, Henry Waxman! It’s SO good Valerie Wilson got her day to state the facts. Hooray for that.
