How soon before Karl Rove puts out a hit on this woman?
Breaking with the White House, Rep. Heather Wilson, R-New Mexico, chairwoman of the House Subcommittee on Technical and Tactical Intelligence, says the time has come for a “complete review” of President Bush’s eavesdropping program, her spokesman said Wednesday.
Even one of the right-wing nutcases who are the GOP’s backbone doesn’t like the president spying on Americans in America.
OMG, it’s BUSH DERANGEMENT SYNDROOOOMMMMMEEE!!!!
I know this is unrelated to this post but you should check out this link. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11235990/site/newsweek/
Um, Boehner supports an investigation as well.
Calm down, OW.
Yeah, really, doesn’t that qualify him as Unhingedtm?
No, Oliver.
It just means they feel there are enough questions about the program to warrant an investigation.
It’s called thinking.
Man, you leave a blog for a year or so and look what happens. I agree with 90% of your politics, Oliver, but the way you go about presenting those arguments is, ehm, “interesting.”
But according to your Republican cohorts to even question the program is to give aid to Bin Laden.
“says the time has come for a “complete review” of President Bush’s eavesdropping program”
This was CNN’s left wing BS selection of words. Wonder what she really said. No doubt when we learn the truth, this will dead.

It’s just that we’re a little tired of being called traitors then the wingers forgeting all about it as soon as their party gets involved.
“It just means they feel there are enough questions about the program to warrant an investigation. It s called thinking.”
Were you critical of the rightwing pundits, who were summarily declaring the program a-ok, for not “thinking”? If not, then your praise of him “thinking” smacks of inconsistency.
No, it was the Associated Press’ selection which was faithfully repeated by Fox News.
Why not check the story on an outlet you trust? It appears that the reporting on Ms. Wilson’s position is accurate.
I saw Maher interview on Real Time and she didn’t strike me as wingy.
I just hope testosterone isn’t being rationed by Rove, or it will end with
her.
this winger FULLY supports an investigation.
Now if we can only keep the america-hating lefties from running around claiming that Bush is guilty of this and guilty of that until an investigation proves a law has been broken…
Fat chance (before you get all bent out of shape, that was NOT a dig at OW)
You lefties remind me of that classic scene from Monty Python…. where everyone is yelling “Burn the witch….! Does anyone have any evidence that she is a witch? Yea, she turned me into a newt! You don’t look like a newt….I got better….. She’s a witch…!”
If only the witch burners had a washington post article to cite to for evidence.
You mean the same WA PO that reported 12 of 13 W. VA miners alive…?
Hmmm….color me….skeptical….
(Oooooh, I said “color”, is that a code curmudgeon? Quick, check your Media Matters decoder ring!)
Wrong.
What Wilson is doing is political survival. She’s in a very close race with the current NM Attorney General. She realizes she’s got to run to the center.
Karl Rove might have her killed? WTF? Are you kidding me? Are you losing it, Oliver?
And here’s a question for you and the other lefties: If she’s a right – wing nut, and she’s joining the “faaaar left” does that mean that every other conservative is a reeeaaaly far right wing nut, and lefties are in the middle? And if a chicken and a half lays an egg and a half, how many eggs will six
chickens lay in six days?
Of course, leave it to Pedro to pretend as if this segment never existed
“It’s a different program than I was beginning to let myself believe,” said Alabama Rep. Bud Cramer, the senior Democrat on the Intelligence Committee’s oversight subcommittee.
“This may be a valuable program,” Cramer said, adding that he didn’t know if it was legal. “My direction of thinking was changed tremendously.”
Stand by leftists, you are going to find yourselves on the wrong side of the issue….again!
Hey Ollie, should I say “face” now, or wait a while?
Well, maybe only in a political sense:
Uhhh..yes. the center is much farther to the right than say…..11 years ago.
And the correct number of eggs lain by the chicken is the ‘right’ answer.
“Some members remain angry….” and some stil believe in santa claus and a flat earth.
There are ALWAYS going to be some folks who ride on the short bus of life…
“he didn t know why the White House waited so long to inform Congress of its actions.”
Because they didn’t want the NYT to know about it yet.
Of course none of this will help you rewrite the history of your minions mewling about this ad nauseum. Get out a towels leftards, you are going to have a LOT of egg to wipe off your collective faces…
Fear not though, we will not forget…
Saddam did have all “these WMD’s” See thousands of dead kurds for evidence
Valerie Plame was not “covert” by the standard of the law (having been overseas on NOC within 5 years, apparently Fitzgerald agreed)
And Fitzgerald did not indict anyone for exposing a spy, he did it for forgetting a meeting. And ol’e Rove is still cruising the white house…no frog march there!
I would say I am batting around a 1.000
I am batting around a 1.000
I know you meant to say a ‘thousand’, but even the subconscious
of Pedro flirts with the truth. There is hope.
The only thing Pedro is batting 1.000 in is the clockwork repetition of discredited talking points.
-Iraq had no WMD worth speaking of at the time of the invasion. The inspectors were discovering this months after Bush had already made up his mind to invade. The gassing of Kurds, which two Republican administrations tacitly condoned occurred fifteen years before the 2003 invasion.
-New evidence confirms that Fitzgerald did find Plame to be covert
-Fitzgerald did not indict on those grounds because, like all prosecutors, he indicts for what he thinks he can get a conviction on, not for everything he thinks someone is guilty of. Rove is not out of the woods yet.
-The fact that republicans are coming out and saying that there are issues worth investigation in the snoopgate affair sort of puts paid to the Rovian lie that Democrats concerned about the issue “want to keep us from monitoring terrorists.”
We can be sure, though, that Pedro will show up in some other thread repeating the exact same lies. He’s a consistent leadoff hitter. Too bad he corks his bat.
How soon before Karl Rove puts out a hit on this woman?
Quaker: Nice try, but those are Oliver’s words. No pussyfootin’ ’round here.
As usual semantic is ignorant about another subject dear to the hearts of americans.
It is a convention of the description of batting averages that they are expressed as ratios. When someone bats “235″ they are .235. Nobody bats “a thousand”. It represents a ratio of “1″. You hit every ball that was thrown at you.
You shouldn’t open your mouth when you don’t know what you are talking about (I wish more leftist here would follow that sage advice…)
Thus endeth the lesson….
Thus ends the delusion of your ‘conscience’
Here is the wa po article again….
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/08/13/AR2005081300530.html
And what exactly DID I say regarding WMD in iraq? Just kind of curious as to your (cough) interpretation…..
Pedro, as a doctor how would you diagnose your pathalogical inability to admit you were wrong and subsequently extreme dishonesty about it? You are a fool, does the WaPo being wrong on miners excuse your inability to cite an article that says what you say it does on WMD?
you said that article proved that saddam’s WMD had been found when it said exactly the opposite, to wit: “Boylan said the suspected lab was new, dating from some time after the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in 2003. The Bush administration cited evidence that Saddam Hussein’s government was manufacturing weapons of mass destruction as the main justification for the invasion. No such weapons or factories were found.”
We dealt with this earlier, I’m just waiting for you to admit you were wrong and that you lied about being wrong and what the article said.
OW said this about bush lying in a 2003 speech: “Start with We found the weapons of mass destruction. and work your way on through.” You cited that WaPo article presumably to prove OW wrong about bush lying. That article said the opposite of what you said it said, then you lied about what you said, then you ignored the issue when it got too hot and it was clear that you were less than truthful about it. Read the thread again if you “don’t remember”. http://www.oliverwillis.com/2006/02/01/michelle-malkins-truth-squad-of-freedom/.
Maybe I should let it go, but this was just the most egregious example of blog dishonesty that I have ever seen.
hey look, he disappeared. bye pedro.
I read it, I never tried to prove OW wrong about bush lying. As I have said before, I said that Iraq had the “capability to make, and use WMD’s”
That simple.
You can keep trying the internet equivalent of trying to shout me down, but it ain’t going to work. My arguments are consistent and fact-based….
that may be what is confusing you…
