1. because it was big news yesterday

When the democratic primary was going on. . .

2. Reminder: Rate it High

It is peculiar. I suppose since there isn't any sex involved it gets the old yawwwwwwn.

[DoYouEverWonder]

3. Because the AG's name

isn't Janet Reno?

4. Heard it on NPR, and it's in the blogosphere

...but you're right, it's not getting a huge amount of play.

5. That's what I've been saying

We have to write to the networks and ask them why not. I've already written to NBC, CBS, ABC and CNN. I'm gonna write now to Aaron Brown and to Hardball. Maybe we have to make it an issue for them.

6. The implications of this are so huge

it's mind boggling.

The outing of Plame, a WMD operative, and this guy's informant, for spite, came from the highest administration officials and all you can hear are the crickets chirping.

How much more evidence do people need that these guys' claim to be engaged in fighting a War on Terror is a big steaming pile?

7. It's a pattern

Can't the media connect the dots? I'm flabbergasted.

9. I posted this here yesterday.

I heard it on the news on my way home. First thing I said was UH-OH, the inside natives are getting restless and rebelling!

I'd like to know if any other US atty. has ever filed suite against his boss, the AG? I sure have never heard of this before!

Maybe instead of the networks, we should contact our Sens & Reps? They can give legs to the story that the news will have to cover. After all, that's where most of the nasty stuff about Clinton began isn't it?

8. Big steaming pile

A phrase that must now enter my vocabulary. Love it!

Oh, and I saw this on CNN.com this morning and my jaw dropped open. I wish this guy the best of luck.

10. It may be huge...but its written like shit and boring as hell

I think this is coverage designed to confused.

[HootieMcBoob]

11. What part don't you understand?

Maybe if it had the word penis in it it would be more exciting.

[Brian Sweat]

12. Because Ashcroft has a dog crate in Gitmo ready

for anyone who makes to big a deal of it.

13. It's reappeared on Yahoo! Better written! Rate it!
