[rodeodance]

1. Really wish all would use this OFFICIAL thread (board is SLOWING)

[rodeodance]

5. I like the charts they are putting up

[Sydnie]

8. Here

[rodeodance]

23. hey thanks.

[ToolTex]

51. Thanks, Sydnie. I couldn't read it on my C-Span connection.

[swag]

2. Fitz!

Oops, wrong forum.

[Annces]

56. fizzle

[AndyA]

3. OMG!

Exposing an agent impacts more than just that agent, it impacts the CIA as a whole, and endangers other agents who are undercover!

TREASON!!!

[myrna minx]

4. COuld the disclosure of the identity of a covert agent result in the

death of a covert agent and has that ever happened?

VP-Yes.

[rodeodance]

6. DEATH

[rodeodance]

10. again-------there is a need to Correct infor (Plame choose her hubby to

to Nigar)!!

[rodeodance]

14. Plame says at the time she and Joe had no political agena-they just

wanted to serve their country

[Up2Late]

7. OMG! The worlds DUMBEST Congressman, Lynn Westmoreland is asking a question.

Same guy who pushes for the 10 Commandments in Public buildings, then goes on The Colbert Report and can name even 1 (ONE) Commandment!

God, if anyone ever needed proof as to if Georgia's elections are actually rigged (via Diebold), he's it.

Btw, looks like a "non-Official" Plame post just made the DU "Front Page"

[whistle]

Thou shalt not criticize or question the motives of any republican

[whistle]

46. CSPAN leaving now

[Up2Late]

65. Oh, Sorry. I thought that was my duty as a Georgian and citizen of the "United" States of America.

I forgot that this is now the United Republics of Texas. My Bad.

[whistle]

100. I was being sarcastic but in all likelihood that is the only commandment

....Congressman Westmoreland knows and in fact lives by

[Up2Late]

117. Me too.

Sorry for leaving out the :sarcasm: marker.

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

9. k&r.

[bobthedrummer]

11. White House Iraq Group/WHIG is the Rosetta Stone to this

Democratic Party WHIG timeline
http://www.democrats.org/a/2005/10/timeline_activi.php

Judith Miller was made a charter member of WHIG
http://www.talkleft.com/story/2005/10/19/550/51440

[AndyA]

12. Valerie Plame is a class act, isn't she?

Intelligent. Well prepared. Honest. Open. Organized. Clear in expression her thoughts.

Such a contrast with the Bush Administration.

[Skidmore]

Bobby Novak is probably squirming now.

"He did it."

[ShortnFiery]

13. IMO, Westmorland asked Plame and her husband's Party Affiliation because

he had run out of material. What a base level to fall on. She handled it with class and made us all wonder why CHENEY was so damn paranoid and partisan by making daily trips to foggy bottom to pressure the analysts. :eyes:

[WinkyDink]

32. I think he wanted to imply exactly what will be on FOX News tonight:

This is all more "anti-Bush" nonsense.

[Eurobabe]

15. Davis again, you said "he did it" - Novakula published her name

Did CIA pick up the phone and call Novakula?

[myrna minx]

16. When Joe Wilson threw the paper down and said "he did it"

who was he referring to?

VP: Robert Novak.

[WinkyDink]

17. VP also could have replied (To Westmoreland): "Are you suggesting that the Republican WH

was out to get me because I'm a Democrat?"

Heh.

[tinfoilinfor2005]

88. Brilliant.

Someone should have given her that advice before the hearing because you know as sure as day follows night that they were going to ask her that. On the other hand, it shows that she wasn't "professionally prepped" in her testimony, and that her words are open and honest.

[mod mom]

18. CIA told them "we'll take care of it " RE Novak outing! Wilson's knew Novak

was thinking of printing it.

[Norquist Nemesis]

19. CIA contact Novak to tell him 'don't do this'

Check Novak's phone records. I'd bet there was a call immediately after to the WH-extenstion Karl Rove.

[POAS]

33. Tried to stop him but couldn't

I remember Novak admitting he got a call but denied that he was specifically asked not to publish.

[LSK]

20. CSPAN3 has coverage if CSPAN cuts to the House

http://www.c-span.org/watch/index.asp?Cat=TV&Code=CS3&ShowVidDays=30&ShowVidDesc=&ArchiveDays=30

[helderheid]

21. thanks!

[bmcatt]

41. House not in session today

So there shouldn't be any floor coverage...

[bmcatt]

43. Doh! spoke too soon; pro forma session n/t

[Sydnie]

53. Have I told you lately

just how much I appreciate you? :hug:

Consider yourself told!

[LSK]

84. thanks! even thou I had the wrong link LOL

:hug:

[The Witch]

61. hmm that's not what I'M getting :sigh:

[POAS]

22. Waxman nailing Westmoreland

God I'm not ashamed to admit I'm ready to cry at his words

[seemunkee]

26. YES

SLAP HIM.

[ronnykmarshall]

I'm so proud to have him as my congressman!

Go Henry!

[rodeodance]

39. Repugs Thus far are only getting out (lying) TALKING POINTS (shameful)

[rodeodance]

44. HO HO ---Waxman is dissing Conda Liessa !!

[Skidmore]

24. The Waxman brings it back to FACTS....

which are not Democrat or Republic.

[blogslut]

30. He's so great

They did it and they never apologized

[Norquist Nemesis]

31. Not Democrat or Republican. They are AMERICAN

:applause:

[WinkyDink]

37. Oh, my! You meant "Democratic"! ;)

[myrna minx]

25. Mrs. Wilson, you could be a dem or repub. We don't ask our service people

about their political affiliations. Facts are not dem or repub.

[Eurobabe]

27. Waxman: facts are not DEMOCRATIC OR REPUBLICAN

Waxman sticking it to Westmoreland's dumb ass McCarthyism.

[Cameron27]

42. Damned straight

Waxman's bringing it back to where it belongs. To the Iraq War.

[jelly]

125. That was my favorite moment of the day.

Repugs are still trying to play the same tired game they've been playing for years but Waxman won't have any of that.

[wryter2000]

28. Waxman now

I'm having chills listening to him.

"Your career was ended, and your life was in jeopardy, and they didn't even seem to care."

[AndyA]

29. Waxman up.

Clarifying things - that reasons for going to war with Iraq were false.

[bluedog]

34. say lie.please say lie n/t

[Beelzebud]

35. Don't worry folks. The Truth has a well known Liberal bias! :)

[Annces]

36. Waxman is on it

[bunny planet]

38. Henry Waxman ROCKS!!!!!!!!!

[wryter2000]

60. Wasn't he awesome? Wow. Just wow. nt/

n/t

[myrna minx]

40. The leak was all the WH had left.

Did I hear that correctly?

and that VP was just collateral damage.

[WinkyDink]

45. CANNOT believe C-Span is dropping this live! I see "Housing" on C-3.

[myrna minx]

48. I KNOW!

:grr: I guess we need to cut away for a congressional prayer.

[ronnykmarshall]

49. No shit.

It should only be for a short period.

[NightWatcher]

50. this is bullshit

[AllexxisF1]

55. WTF!

Who is the moron producer that dropped the coverage of the Plame hearing!!! is he batshit crazy or something!

[LSK]

59. WATCH HERE:

http://oversight.house.gov/story.asp?ID=1205

[myrna minx]

62. OMG, thank you! n/t

[myrna minx]

68. Recess for 5 minutes.

IMPEACH NOW! IMPEACH NOW from the gallery!

[ronnykmarshall]

73. Holy CRAP

People are chanting "Impeach NOW!".

[bmcatt]

63. They're required to

CSPAN-1 exists to cover procedings on the house floor. If the house is in session, they *must* show it.

[ClayZ]

47. "A lot of colateral damage, including a WAR that did not have to be fought!"

H. Waxman

[rodeodance]

66. good for Waxman

[ClayZ]

75. Pretty Powerful stuff!

[ClayZ]

81. Feed is back! Break time?

[Greeby]

52. Diane Watson suggested Novak testify under oath

OK, Sky News just cut out, think maybe they were using C-Span's feed

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

80. It what Valerie said. that Novak was told not to go with the story by the person from the CIA

he definitely should testify!

[wryter2000]

54. Taking a break now

Dang. I loved that lady from CA -- the one who'd been an ambassador. Can't think of her name now.

[rodeodance]

57. cspan will return right after House loggs in and out (said brief)

[WinkyDink]

69. Whew! Because it's not every day we get to hear about TREASON!!!!!!

[Hepburn]

77. So does this mean it will be back up on...

...CSpan 1? I cannot imagine them not showing the rest of this hearing. It is just too good.

[LSK]

64. they are debating what they should investigate now

And recessing.

[LSK]

70. CODE PINK CHANTING IMPEACH NOW IMPEACH NOW

[LSK]

76. Waxman said I feel your passion but its not appropriate

[Occulus]

102. Ah, so that's what happened

Note how he didn't really chastise what they were saying, but how and when they were saying it.

[wryter2000]

67. I have to watch them take the Pledge of Allegiance? n/t

n/t

[Cameron27]

78. Did you stand up?

Ridiculous to see adults pledging a flag IMO

[wryter2000]

122. Actually, I took the opportunity to go to the rest room. n/t

n/t

[Lasher]

71. Plame finished giving testimony - somebody chanting, disruptive but heading into recess

[bobthedrummer]

72. IMPEACH NOW!

[A wise Man]

96. Impeachment will only

get them out of office. The crimes they these thugs have committed, they should be tried for treason.

[John Q. Citizen]

109. Got to impeach them before we can try them. n/t

[crispini]

74. Hey! that was short.

Good! :bounce:

[LSK]

79. CSPAN is back to live coverage

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

85. Great! I can run back up to my tv! eom

[Hepburn]

92. Got....

...I was actually getting panicky that we could not pick up more of this.

Man, I feel just like I did back in the 70s watching the Watergate hearing. I am GLUED to this!

[eleny]

82. I switched over to C-Span2 - Rove up there bullshitting his mouth off

Answering questions of some large group (yesterday). Lying about how he views the electorate. Interesting how he's barreling forward with his brand of deceit. Saying how proud of what he's done in the electoral process. Jeez-us!

[WinkyDink]

95. I know! Quite the counter-point, eh?!

[eleny]

124. WinkyDink !

One of my favorite sows as a kid. :hi:

[Norquist Nemesis]

97. They've run that so often the tape should be worn out!

I saw it on at least twice yesterday already. :grr:

[Up2Late]

83. Did CSPAN REALLY need to cut away for that Procedural BS?

They couldn't have "tape Delayed" that?:eyes:

[LSK]

90. some legal requirement

[bmcatt]

94. 'fraid not...

gavel to gavel coverage of the house floor proceedings. Even if they're BS, CSPAN is required to televise it.

But, CSPAN's now showing the committee hearing room and the chatter, so all is well again.

[rodeodance]

86. Panal is taking short break and Cspan1 is back (House is adjouned)

[Norquist Nemesis]

87. Maybe start an official #7 and go with the break? n/t

[AnnInLa]

89. OMG...Did yall hear the prayer to open the House???

Sounded like a very Dem chaplain/preacher/whatever to me! Almost upbraided politicians for being cynical and for trying to place themselves in "exalted positions"....told them to be serving the good instead of placing themselves above the good. Was awesome prayer, and I hope republics paid attention to it...but, I guess not. Sigh.

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

91. Quick question, is John Sarbanes related to Sen. Sarbanes? n/t

[RebelOne]

111. Someone mentioned on another thread that John Sarbanes

was their rep. and they are father and son.

[Vadem]

123. Yes, he is Paul Sarbanes' son; he won Ben Cardin's seat in ...

the house; and Ben went to the Senate to take Paul's seat.

[LouisianaLiberal]

93. Scheduled list of witnesses:

Ms. Valerie Plame Wilson, former employee, Central Intelligence Agency
Dr. James Knodell, Director, Office of Security, The White House
Mr. Bill Leonard, Director, Information Security Oversight Office, National Archives and Records Administration
Mr. Mark Zaid, Attorney
Ms. Victoria Toensing, diGenova & Toensing, LLP

[myrna minx]

99. I just can't wait for Victoria Toensing's testimony.

Hahahhahaha. She's in for a trouncing.

[Norquist Nemesis]

107. I have the feeling the Cons will suddenly appear to ask her questions

'So, Ms. Toensing, was Valerie Plame Wilson a covert agent?'
"No, Senator"
'Did she send Joe Wilson to Niger?'
"Yes, Senator"
'Was Joe Wilson lying to Congress?'
"Yes, Sentaor"
'Is Valerie Wilson lying to Congress?'
"Yes, Senator"
'Was there any crimes committed?'
"Yes, Senator. Joe and Valerie Wilson both lied to Congress. That is a crime."
'Thank you, Ms. Toensing. You're a true American.'
:puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:

[myrna minx]

115. Heh. I know what you mean, but

she will be under oath and I can't wait to see her squirm. :rofl:

[ronnykmarshall]

116. They're gonna fry her ass.

[myrna minx]

121. Hehehehe.

*I can't wait*

[WinkyDink]

101. I want VT to squirm and sweat the most. I couldn't stand her back in the

Clinton years, when she claimed she and her creepy husband were harassed by Democratic "operatives".

[POAS]

98. Cspan3 still in repeats

maybe a good time to start another thread!?!?!?!?

105. NEW THREAD

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x426051

[Arkansas Granny]

106. Quick question. The freepers are claiming the Republicans are

boycotting this hearing. Does anyone have any info on that?

[POAS]

108. All I can say is that few Republics showed up

[Sydnie]

110. The chamber is very empty looking

but some of them showed up and asked questions just the same.

Who cares? They missed their chance to ask her questions under oath. Their loss, the asshats!

[Arkansas Granny]

113. I did hear Waxman say something to the effect that he was sorry

so many people were unable to attend, it being Friday, but that everyone had been invited to attend.

[Norquist Nemesis]

112. It looks like it, but it's major stupid if they are

It's going to be tough for them to go in front of the cameras and 'comment' credibly on hearings they refuse to attend.

[myrna minx]

119. Well, she has been questioned by at least two republicans. n/t

[LSK]

120. at least 2 Repukes were there and asking questions

[Up2Late]

114. *Break in the Action* Time for the Half-time Show?

Let throw this over to our Color Commentator, Base Instinct.

Thanks Emotion Center!

Base Instinct: I'd just like to comment that there is one thing the "Plame Leak" has shown us
and the world, and that is that American has some Fine looking Women working for the CIA!

Back to you, Rational Mind!

Rational Mind: Thanks Base, looks like we are coming to order...

[Sydnie]

118. funniest post of the day so far!

Thanks for the laugh!
