5. Yummmm!

[eleny]

3. I wonder how long will Knodell stay on the job

[Sydnie]

8. A few more hours is my guess.

getting full in the scapegoat category, isn't it?

[Eurobabe]

11. He and Gonzo will share the limo escort out of DC tomorrow n/t

[POAS]

13. What time is it now????

[eleny]

22. heh...heh!

[NewJeffCT]

44. writing up the pink slip as he speaks?

[IChing]

4. Holy Crap -the John Gotti looking guy spilled the beans Kodell

[WinkyDink]

[benld74]

7. This makes Watergate look like a Playground Fight!

[Hepburn]

18. No shit!

They are into EVERYTHING!!

[POAS]

25. Watergate will look like a comma in the history books

[myrna minx]

9. This is just breath taking. n/t

[bobthedrummer]

10. This guy will "review this with senior management"????????

[WinkyDink]

15. I KNOW! HE'S the Director!

[Sydnie]

16. In other words

Karl will tell him to forget it.

[Eurobabe]

17. WTF????? This entire administration needs to be fired!!!

[LSK]

26. that would be Chimpy McCokespoon

[tinfoilinfor2005]

14. I hope someone asks

"Did anyone tell you not to investigate?"

[WinkyDink]

20. The "Alexander Butterfield Moment" waiting to happen!

[Hepburn]

30. My thoughts exactly.

And Davis and his BS about the DOJ investigation. Hello??? How in the hell does that lift the burden off the WH to do ITS OWN investigation?

Davis is a mega idiot.

[dogday]

19. Thank you helderheid for this thread

and all the previous ones too!

[HCE SuiGeneris]

21. Whoever set the policy in WH, NOT to investigate, is going down! eom

[eleny]

28. They must be running out of scapegoats right about now

[HCE SuiGeneris]

33. I can see the critters in the WH scurrying around

like the little rats they are.

[NewJeffCT]

72. There are tons of low-level staffers left to blame, I'd imagine

Oh, the memo was lost in transit by a low-level staffer/intern.

[Annces]

23. He is going to take a bullet like Libby

[Mist]

60. Seems like Knodell was hired just to be thrown under the bus. In *world, that's

supposed to end all these embarassing questions.

SNAP! Re: talking to senior management: "You're going to go talk to YOURSELF?"

[Annces]

84. Right - keep the damage to fewest number of people

[LSK]

[POAS]

31. I'm gonna burn out my nuker making popcorn

[ClayZ]

27. Even though it took Ashcroft several months to recuse himself!

[Bandit]

32. Wonder how often the Whitehouse inquired about the investigation?

But Bush* who is so often considered more inquisitive than Lincoln should have been asking daily how the investigation was going. :shrug:

[POAS]

34. I'm exhausted

[ronnykmarshall]

62. No kiddin!

This is GREAT!

it could've been awkward.

[Reader Rabbit]

37. It's my plan period, and I've gotten no grading done!

And it's all your fault, DUers! You're a bad influence!

:P

Or should I pin it on the Bush Administration, along with all the other shit they've been up to?

[REACTIVATED IN CT]

96. We're closing early due to snowstorm

I can't wait to get home and tune into CSPAN so I can give this my full attention - instead of just listening at work and snealing an occasional peak at the video . Good day to pop some corn, too

[POAS]

38. Jeffrey Thompson need to google

[keithjx]

43. Let us know what you find....

Thanks!
KJ

[malaise]

I need some butter for

this :popcorn: :popcorn: Oh my God this is a slam dunk.

[POAS]

THIS IS GOOD

This may or may NOT be the same guy but a Jeffrey A. Thompson loves to review books at Amazon.

Here is his review ( in part) of "An Inconvenient Truth"

"

7 of 13 people found the following review helpful:
I agree, but ..., February 3, 2007
Al Gore has a very good message and it needs to be heard. He presents it in a powerful way. However, Al has one big problem his ego and an ax to grind. He never knows when to stop. To his credit, he does a decent job of toning down the politics, but he disparages replubicans exclusively. Excuse me, there was the Clinton/Gore whitehouse for 8 years between the Bush's, but nary a word about that presidency. The present administration deserves a lot of heat, but this is a bigger problem than what Bush created. I agree Man is exacerbating global warming, but the whole look at the life of Al Gore and the sacrifices he makes for this cause, slow the movie down immeasureably. I mean if he was likeable, he would have pounded G. W. in the election.

"

[trof]

97. I did. NOTHING! And NOTHING for Knodell either.

Abd NOTHING for either on the WH website.

[POAS]

103. I added "whitehouse" to the search and got a few things

[Norquist Nemesis]

39. Ohhh! A Career Employee...Jeffrey Thompson predecessor

Moved down to Georgia (Cue up song about the Devil LOL!)

[Eurobabe]

Hodes, who preceded you in this job - Jeffrey Thompson

[LSK]

40. Jeffrey Thompson? was his predecessor

[LSK]

55. He reports to Tom Dryer

He reports to Sandra Evans

She reports to OA.

[myrna minx]

41. WHo was your predecessor: Jeffrey Thompson.

Did He brief you?

No sir.

[CatWoman]

46. this is damning!!!

un-fucking-BELIEVEABLE!!!!!!!

[helderheid]

OMG OMG OMG OMG

You haven't talked to ANYBODY?

[CatWoman]

63. Why did this guy even show up?

seems like Nodell was just thrown to the wolves :wow:

[myrna minx]

76. Seriously.

It appears that he was just collecting a salary, with his $1000.00 shoes crossed up on his desk. This is sooooo damning!

[myrna minx]

59. What discussions have you had with anyone about investigations

about the security breach?
No one.

You said you are going back to speak with senior management, are you going to report to your self?

:rofl:

[Hepburn]

77. Holy shit...

...is this UNBELIEVABLE!! And damning as all hell.

Somewhere, there are heads exploding all over the place. IMO, they figured this guy could sit there and get by with..."I dun know..." and it is NOT working out like this at all.

Wow!

[myrna minx]

82. This is beyond anything that I thought we'd hear from him.

:wow:

[DemReadingDU]

42. Waxman says - if the President really wanted to find out

to find out what happened, the President should have called everyone into his office - Rove, Libby, etc.


I bet it was the President who was the 1st leaker, therefore he didn't want to investigate! :eyes:

[guitar man]

45. Waxman

"sounds like the competing priority was not embarrising top WH officials"

:applause:

[quiet.american]

73. Yes -- it looked like that comment drove all the GOP'ers from the room --

--like sunshine on vampires.

[NewJeffCT]

best comment of the day!

Like sunshine on vampires!:rofl:

:spray:

[quiet.american]

111. Thanks Jeff. :) n/t

[dweller]

this was posted in #8, towards the end

"Investigation should be done, but was NOT done. Leaker continues to be in the White House. Knodell: Yes." <squirming>


was that actually asked? 'leaker continues to be in WH'?

dp

[dogday]

47. Are you going to go back and talk to yourself?

That is priceless....

[Beelzebud]

51. LOL Indeed!

[kestrel91316]

107. You should have heard me laugh when he said that. I scared

my cats!!!!!!!!!!

[Sydnie]

You're senior management - you going to discuss it with yourself?

:rofl:

[bobthedrummer]

48. WOE!

[Cameron27]

49. HA, you're going to go back and talk to yourself?

It's getting HOT in there.

[ronnykmarshall]

68. I think it's getting hot at the White House too.

[IChing]

50. He is going go back and talk to himself!!!!!

Tom Dryer next on the list.

[helderheid]

52. HOLY SHIT!

[ronnykmarshall]

78. They're gonna need more fans.

There's too much shit hitting them right now !

[Greeby]

Hodes is nailing this guy

:bounce:

[rateyes]

53. The proverbial SHIT....

has just hit the fan. The White House did NOT investigate when it is OBVIOUS it was their job to do so. I think that, perhaps, the impeachment train (at least Cheney's) is pulling out of the station. Keeping my fingers crossed.

[Gregorian]

54. I can finally pull out this smiley!

[berner59]

81. Almost no words...

except...WOWWWWWWWWWW!! Who wants to bet this bombshell doesn't make the MSM?????

[DemReadingDU]

88. great smiley!

[youthere]

56. "So you're going to go back and talk to yourself?"

OMFG!:rofl:

[ronnykmarshall]

57. Oh dear.

This guy is sweatin' like a pig.

[malaise]

70. And it's fall down funny

They've been nailedto the fugging wall.

[CatWoman]

71. oinking like one, too

:hi:

[ORDagnabbit]

58. who do you report too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL wow!!!!!!!

[LSK]

61. THIS IS SO FUCKING AMAZING

[REACTIVATED IN CT]

106. Isn't it ? I have to keep pinching myself because I

think I'm dreaming this :woohoo:

[helderheid]

64. Oh my GOD!

It's going so fast I can't - I mean - OH MY GOD!

[Beelzebud]

65. LOL These guys are sweating bullets.

[bunny planet]

66. Oh SNAP. ' Are you going to go back and have a discussion with yourself

about this?'

[Norquist Nemesis]

67. Looks like the WH sent a low-level staffer/career employee

and STILL made an "agreement" about his testimony. No wonder the guy looks nervous as hell!

[dogday]

69. This guy is the WH Stooge

He knows nothing, he is just the wall they put up...

[HCE SuiGeneris]

74. Knoedel came in all cocksure -- he is going out with his tail between his legs...

[dogday]

80. What tail? Hodes chewed it off just a second ago....

:rofl:

[HCE SuiGeneris]

89. god this feels sooooo right

take these bastards down!

[WinkyDink]

75. These Dem reps will have their danders thoroughly up by Toensing's time. Hee!!!!

[HCE SuiGeneris]

83. ...

:bounce: :bounce: :rofl:

[Sydnie]

90. she will be dessert!

:rofl:

[Hepburn]

93. LOL...

...they are feasting now on a rather yummy main course...and I think dear ol' Vickie is gonna be dessert! I LOVE IT!

[myrna minx]

95. I bet she will have some sort of "medical" emergency

this afternoon. I bet she's sweating already.

[rateyes]

Wanna bet Toensing...

just got on a plane to an undisclosed location? :rofl:

Really, I hope they chew her ass out. I hope the ass kicking she's gonna get will be so damned hard it makes her nose bleed.

[Cameron27]

79. Criminal Conspiracy

I LOVE Hodes!

[ORDagnabbit]

85. dang...he's good!

[Beelzebud]

87. Yeah he's kicking some major ass right here! :)

[speedoo]

92. So do I. He is really pissed!!

And he knows what he's doing, which makes him VERY dangerous (to the bad guys, natch).

[LSK]

86. have you ever saw any selective declassification before?

No

[seafan]

91. "If two or more people leaked classified info, this would be considered a conspiracy, would it not?"

...Yes, sir.


:bounce:

[Hepburn]

102. Wham....

...I love it!

[LSK]

94. tying it back to Bush regarding authority to declassify something

[WinkyDink]

104. That was, IMHO, that guy's sole reason for being there---to get out that WH "talking point".

[helderheid]

98. THREAD #10 is UP: Mods please lock - thanks!

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x426973

[Eurobabe]

99. Paul Hodes, my Dad's Rep KICKED SOME SERIOUS ASS!!!

Phew, he was direct like a laser.

[Cameron27]

101. I know!

He had my heart racing!

[youthere]

109. Oh he SOOO kicked ass! GO HODES!

[Sydnie]

100. Did he just nail blivet**?

he said it's the president's authority to classify and declassify. If blivet** declassified it, there was be no investigation. Could that be what happened here?

[POAS]

105. Repeat of previous post (getting buried)
