rahm emanuel, former WH advisor, rips Niger "mistake"

[julka]

He says, live on CSPAN, this moment, that he helpe WRITE SOTU speeches, and these speeches are the MOST important ones a "president" gives, outside certain Oval Office addresses.

he goes on to say that Colin Powell REJECTED this same material, used by the chimp in January, because it was insufficiently documented.

He then insists that the person who GAVE the WH the bogus info, after having his name, address, and phone number revealed

these are special order speeches, by emanuel, William dela Hunt (first congressman to address the Niger issue), and two other dems (don't know names)

well worth watching

3. A trivial comment

As a major fan of Rahm Emmanuel, I am delighted to hear him speak out on national TV. But, at the risk of revealing my deep character flaws, I have to say that Rahm's barber is doing him no favors!

Keep on talking Rahm, but go back to your old haircut.

5. Those three will be the heroes fo this

Watergate


Tehy used the word lie and asking for cooperation with Parlaiment and Cook, and Short, this is just getting bigger boys and girls, this is just getting bigger.

They know this is not going to go away.

6. I know Rahm...

He's the nephew of one of my parent's friends... nice guy... definitely an honest politician.

7. he's also VERY ambitious

this tells me that, playing the odds, he's getting in on the very ground floor.

those other guys that were there aren't making any hay in their careers.....too old, too fat, too bald.

just wait.....if this takes off the way it should, he'll be the coverboy for the new Watergate

Nigergate?

no way they can call it that, can they?

[Sava]

8. Nigergate? LOL

sorry, it sounds funny when you pronounce it the "wrong" way.

[julka]

10. I know.....as soon as I typed it

I thought the same thing.

they'll NEVER call it that, will they?

should I contact whomever and register it as a trademark?

9. yellow cake walk

Bush thought this lie was another cake walk...

hopefully, this will become the perp walk for Bush, Cheney, Rummy, and Wolfie.

they all seem implicated up to their codpieces in these lies.

these lies are not perjury, since they did not occur under oath.

however, according to Dean THEY ARE WORSE than perjury because he cites the felony charge of lying to take a country into war in this way as a "conspiracy to defraud the American people and a conspiracy to defraud an agency of the Federal govt"

and, yes, lying in the SOTU address makes Bush a total scumwad..wait, he was already a total scumwad. This just reveals it to those who have not been paying attention, or who have wanted to maintain their own plausible deniability that we have a bunch of fascist fucks putting us in danger throughout the world by their lies.
