1. I agree. It's really big. It's going to be interesting to watch.

How the WH will turn it's back on one of it's own...again...

[usregimechange]

2. They will release story tomorrow on how he had sex with animals

[Maccagirl]

3. Yes, it is huge, and it also won't cause a ripple

I wish with all my heart I was wrong-but the crimes of the last 7 years have gone unpunished-why should this be any different?

Please, someone prove me wrong!

[usregimechange]

5. They have been playing russian roulette and will get the bullet at some point

[tridim]

7. It's another big crack in the dam.

It may not burst tomorrow but it's getting very unstable lately.

[AntiFascist]

23. I agree, look at the bigger picture...

if OPEC succeeds in abandoning the dollar, then this could drive its value even lower which will have even more devastating effects on the economy. This could mean that Cheney's entire energy and war plans are looking like a complete failure, with no more political support for starting new wars. Bush may need an excuse to resign Cheney and try to switch course under internal Republican pressure. Look at how far we have come so far with all the resignations - no more Rove, Rumsfeld or Gonzales.

[RichGirl]

22. I can't prove you wrong...but...

...although it seems that nothing has happened, Bush's approval has steadily gone down. I'm surrounded by republicans even friends and family members who stopped defending him a long time ago. Now they are coming to see that he is a huge failure. I think though that they all thought it was a matter of bad choices on his part. If there is proof of criminality I think the tide will turn. This isn's a dem making accusations, it's one of their own. I hope.....

4. It was posted today....

Never mind..

[Richard Steele]

6. Nope- it's a trap.

If you expect ANYTHING truly damaging to be included
in that book of Snotty Scotty's (a book he hasn't actually
finished WRITING yet), you're gonna be SORELY disappointed.

It's a trick, a con, a set-up. Don't get sucked into it.

[usregimechange]

8. He just said that the POTUS was involved in a cover-up

[Richard Steele]

31. And today, the story they're spinning EXONERATES B*sh.

[tridim]

9. What's the con? and how do you know?

I guess the rest of the book could be loaded with false praise for BushCo while using the leak to gain the public trust. It could also be a "look over here while we cover-up something over there" type thing.

Or Scotty could really be turning on them. I don't think anyone knows yet.

[Richard Steele]

32. They're already spinning and covering B*sh's ass today:

[tridim]

33. Of course they're spinning, but I still don't see a con game going on.

Threats maybe, but no Rovian con.

What possible benefit would there be to implicating Bush as a felon and then retracting the implication?

[wiley]

17. Yup. Look at Basra.

[rufus dog]

10. no disrespect to you

but what the fuck are the dems going to do with this! NOT ONE DAMN THING.

[usregimechange]

12. Not if I have anything to say about it

[rufus dog]

13. sign me up dude!

What are you going to do about it? I will help you, but sending emails and letters to reps doesn't cut it. I am right behind you if you have a decent plan.

[McCamy Taylor]

11. Agree. The circular firing squad re: 2008 is the trap. We need to hammer Bush/Cheney.

:kick:

[rambler_american]

19. Chris Dodd calling for AG investigation

[bigscott]

14. use the search tool

on DU and see if you can find all the threads that ask if THIS one is going to be the ONE to bring down this corrupt administration. There are lots of them - and NOTHING ever comes of it. I agree with the poster who says we are in scandal fatigue. I think most Americans - even the ones that support this asshole (20%??) are just trying to get to 1/20/09 alive.

I pray I am wrong but with "impeachment off the table Pelosi" I bet i am not.

I would almost trade all my hopes that this will bring * down for the remote possibility that the Dems in Congress will stick to their guns about the defense funding bill. Fuck the Pentagon and let them use their already passed 490 BILLION to bring the troops home!

Peace

[andyrowe]

15. It's another dead end.

Fitz's work is done though. Scott knew it was safe to finally concede the lies and sell some books just in time for Christmas.

[CyberPieHole]

16. Off to the greatest page with you. K&R

Not that I agree with your post 100%...I think you are right on the "huge" part, but unfortunately, only a small percentage of Americans are really paying attention. The assholes who voted for * don't really give a damn. And the MSM doesn't give a damn either because they were enablers. But, in the long run, when history is written, YES, the story is huge. We were right! We are not crazy radical hippy liberals (ok some of us are), but we were right when we said that bush/cheney were involved in treason. The MSM will turn a blind eye. Vindication can, sadly, be a lonely affair.

[mogster]

18. K&R n/t

[Disturbed]

20. "sell some books just in time for Christmas."

Not unless one pre-orders it. The book won't be available until Apr. '08. It is real strange that they
are promoting it now.

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

24. You'll find ar throws out a bit of chum here and there.

Just saying. :-) MKJ

[soothsayer]

21. Surely the the book was vetted by the WH , so...

they don't care about this and know it means nothing

[RichGirl]

26. Maybe they didn't vet it.

Maybe that's why he's throwing out the information early.

[Alter Ego]

25. But can we get Scotty to say this under oath?

[kenfrequed]

27. Oh sure

Of course.

I agree lets break from our primaries for this. Now during this break I would like to ask a serious question about the consequences of this story.

"Is it impeachement yet?"

[obamian]

28. The truth always comes out with book launch approaching.

[kelligesq]

29. I suspect the dems will say this distracts from the election, so lets not do anything

oits' up to the MSM to harp on it, and they wont harp on it unless we harp on them...so get those e mails flying to CNN expecially, and the rest.

A few thank yous for the exposure by Tweety and KO wouldnt hurt either and tell them to keep it up.
America deserves the truth and a free press !

BTW, where is the NYT on this?

[dpbrown]

30. Impeach!

Bush is such a criminal.
