Larry Johnson gets too much ink already. Larry is now a certified prick.
Newsweek poll matched:
Obama Leads McCain by 15 Points as Voters Reject Republicans
LATimes/Bloomberg poll, June 25: has Obama 15 points in a four-way race. Barr hurts McCain.
JUST IN: FISA Telecom Immunity Bill will be Filibustered
(via Huffpost)
This MIGHT be why Obama didn’t land on the Democratic House leadership. They may have been under pressures we don’t know, and if Obama knew Dodd and Feingold would go this route anyway, he looked supportive of fellow Dems without further harming the country. That’s of course, assuming he DID know that’s how this would end, and also assuming this effort is successful, which is hardly a given.
certainly Obama speaks with Dodd. We’ll see who shows up to carry the filibuster.
With Bush at 23%, all the GOP has to offer is fear or wishing for another attack.
Larry Johnson can suck wind. Interesting to find out about his shady, pre-Plame past.
haircut in the universe, plus he is a genuwine piece of flaming shit.
Philippine President Arroyo Slurped by Bush:
poor guy, just a few days short of seven months to demit office.
not about Johnson,
on the ABC news at 6:35, Israel is pushing for US to join them in striking Iran….right away
those boys can’t wait till November, gotta fire up another one…..
geesh, just shak’n my head here…
peace? not in the bush’s time
Just accept that you got spooked and move on.
Johnson is, has and always will be CIAS. It was plain while he was writing on the leftiness blogs and the linked article simply references more unneccesry evidence of this fact./
The Plame deal was shady on BOTH sides.
Bet on it.
And Johnson was one of the main the spokesmen for the CIA side of the scam.
As was Hillary Clinton.
As were Nightline and and any number of other MSM intel assets.
The Johnson anti-Obama thing? Plus his pro-Clinton act? All on orders. Tit fore tat as far as HRC is concerned, and Obama scares them. It’s just mutual spooky spook spook backscratching, business as usual.
You got took because you “agreed” with one aspect of the backscratch. The anti-BushCo part. Y’know…one CAN be anti-BushCo and still be an evil, economic imperialist prick thief and murderer.
Gangsters have wars too.
Duh.
Move on.

You just put a set of inflammatory allegations based on zilch evidence.
Not to mention how condescending GA is while putting forth all sorts of inflammatory allegations based on zero evidence, in a writing style that really gives me a headache.
Take a pill.
AG
I’m with you on this, Leslie. Moreover, AG comes off as extremely self-important. Personally, I find his posts boring enough to skip.
Hard evidence?
None.
Only observation.
But…what good is so-called “hard evidence” in a system that cannot adequately adjudge a fender bender?
A system that cannot ensure true election results.
A system that imprisons petty criminals, many of whom have literally been driven mad by the racism historically implicit in that rotted-out system (Plus of course the innocent…see Joe Bageant’s latest for more on that…who were merely in the wrong place at the wrong time) while it rewards monstrously successful murderers and thieves with wealth and honours?
I will trust my own perceptions, thank you. They are more than enough evidence for me, and have been so since 1963 when JFK was murdered in a CIA/military/organized crime-coup d’état.
Need “hard evidence” for that, too?
You are deaf, dumb and blind if you do.
Mostly just dumb, I fear.
Media hypnotized and fllying blind.
So it goes.

I don’t hate Larry Johnson, I am just indescribably saddened by the whole thing. However, it reinforces my theory, No Source, No Story.
And No Quarter, perhaps? 😛
That is my reaction. I am deeply disappointed in him, and possibly even moreso in Susan, who I always thought was the more steady, sensible one of the two. It is just really, really sad.

The Roberts Supreme Court on the Death Penalty
Pretty good timeline by Weigel. Johnson’s blog has become a depository for baseless rumors and racist rants. It’s hard to say what offends me more? Perhaps the fact that Johnson is using his blog to help elect McSame by default, a candidate whom Johnson no doubt abhors as much as he does Bush. Try to figure that one out?
NQ has become such a hopeless collection of paranoid lunatics that they’re their own worse enemy. Last I checked, they were off on a wild goose chase over Obama’s birth certificate because they’re sure something’s wrong with it which proves that he’s not a natural born citizen of the US, but they think they need to hire a PI to figure it out. Their chances of being a mass movement or even influential enough to start another really offensive rumor are diminishing by the hour. Leave them all alone until they drive each other into the loony bin.
Gosh, Delia, maybe they will discover that he is the illegitimate son of Saddam Hussein and some woman who dated someone who went to school with someone who later became a terrorist. They have been trying desperately to connect Obama with both Saddam Hussein and terrorism, and this way they could kill two birds with one stone.
You know, they almost make we want to support Obama.
