The Left Coaster blog has a story claiming that the Bush administration outed Valerie Plame in revenge because she found and intercepted a package of bio weapons that the administration was planning to hide in Iraq in order to "find" it later and prove that WMD existed in Iraq. If this is true, it should be highlighted by you folks and the rest of the media.

I'm glad to see Majority Report getting more conservative callers. It shows that Sam and Jeanine are hitting nerves, and hopefully rattling them pretty good. At least we know right wingers are listening. It's always said that Limbaugh is such a success because he has listeners from both sides of the political spectrum; that he emboldens conservatives and outrages liberals. It looks like we're seeing that for our side now.

Woodward: From Watergate Hero to Plamegate Goat
Nov. 16 -- Bob Woodward. What a career arc. From exposing a presidential cover-up in Watergate to covering up his role in Plamegate. And being forced to apologize to his own paper. And asking a colleague, Walter Pincus, not to mention Woodward's role in the story. And failing to tell his editor that he had vital information about a major story. And, to bottom it out, doing the TV and radio rounds, minimizing the scandal as "laughable," "an accident," "nothing to it" and denigrating Fitzgerald as "disgraceful" and "a junkyard dog" without ever once divulging that he was not just an observer of the CIA leak case but a recipient -- perhaps the first -- of the leak.
Hear that hissing noise? That's the sound of the air being let out of Woodward's reputation. Especially now that he's decided to challenge Pincus to a round of credibility one-on-one. My money's on Pincus, who was appropriately skeptical about the administration's WMD claims while Woodward was writing hagiography about the brave president and his fearless aides.
It's hard to know who's happier today, Scooter Libby or Bill Keller.
I called Carl Bernstein to ask what he thought of his old partner's behavior. He was loyal as ever but he did say something very revealing -- and unintentionally damning. "This investigation," he told me, "has cast a constant searchlight that the White House can't turn off the way it has succeeded in turning off the press. So their methodology and their dishonesty and their disingenuousness -- particularly about how we went to war -- as well as their willingness to attack and rough up people who don't agree with them are now there for all to see. They can't turn off this searchlight, which is shining on a White House that runs a media apparatus so sophisticated in discrediting its critics it makes the Haldeman, Ehrlichman, Ziegler press shop look like a small-time operation." And these are the very thugs that Woodward was protecting while attacking the guy operating the searchlight.

Lobbyists Reward DeLay by Raising Money After Legislative Wins,/a>
Representative Tom DeLay has worked hard throughout his tenure to champion legislation favored by business lobbyists. Last night, those lobbyists were working hard for him, hosting a $200,000 fund-raiser for the beleaguered former House majority leader.
Among the 67 lobbyists hosting the event in Washington were the heads of the trade groups for the oil and electric-utility industries. Before DeLay's indictment in a fund-raising case forced him to give up his leadership post, he helped push through an energy bill that included $14.6 billion in industry subsidies.
DeLay, a Texas Republican, also spearheaded legislation limiting lawsuits and cutting taxes, both priorities for lobbyists. And he pushed lobbying firms to hire Republicans -- including former aides Drew Maloney and Susan Hirschmann, among the hosts of last night's event.
``DeLay has been the best thing for the lobbying industry in Washington in recent history,'' said Frank Clemente, director of Public Citizen's Congress Watch, a Washington-based advocacy group that has called for a special counsel to investigate the lawmaker. ``They work hand in glove with him to get his legislative agenda passed, and pay him and the Republican Party back with huge campaign contributions. At all costs, they want to get this guy back in power and re-elected.''

I'd rather knock up your sister...
I don't see the point of it though...the arguments on losses vs other wars is a year dead...

Posted by: Nobody at November 18, 2005 9:26 PM
That was a really good point the last caller made about percentages of casualty, although I'm not quite sure what 1 1/2% of what he was mentioning...
But in terms of the upper echolon dismissive attitude over semantics...and casulty numbers...
It did get the point raised over the differences between other wars and this one.
That's often the "rationale" of "reasoning, military leaders use to further causes they personally aren't fighting.
Mr. Kerry had some terse words about "cut and run" today.
Maybe more precisely, defending Republicans should look at that well known magazine on the rack right right now.
The one with John McCain on the front.
My hometown newspaper says it's shameful for the president to call Democrats traitors.
Or more precisely, not being loyal.
Uh.
I'm supposed to feel bad that the president doesn't like me again?
Hmmm...
Maybe he needs a good joke or a song or something. Probably all the lower echolon really wants, why insult them anymore. Some of them may think Democrats did a pretty good job in previous wars.

Why Woodward's Source Came Clean
The famed Washington Post journalist describes the series of events that lead him and his source to Fitzgerald
As reporters keep scrambling to find out who told Bob Woodward about Joe Wilson’s wife, Woodward himself has told TIME about a related mystery: what made the source finally come forward. When the Washington Post reporter went public with his involvement in the CIA leak case earlier this week, he failed to explain why his source waited silently for two years before coming clean to special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald. In an interview today, Woodward described the sequence of conversations with his source and Post executive editor Leonard Downie, Jr. that led to the latest twist in Fitzgerald’s investigation into the outing of CIA operative Valerie Plame, the wife of administration critic Wilson.

Then I should also forget the people who died on 9/11.
Isn't that why we gave tax breaks to the wealthy?
Or what's another reason I'm patriotic...
Because it's not worth my time to get up and vote?
I hear the youth didn't defeat the old in the ast election.
I don't think so. I think it was fear.
Fear of change.
When does the status quo effect you?
When your taxes go down? When it's relative or loved one dead on foreign soil?
It's actually when you're asked to stop caring. Stop your criticism.
Not who you vote for. Wishing for it doesn't make it so.
I don't fear truth, Mr. President. I fear lies.

Britain has apologized to Iraq for attempting to send two soldiers into Basra disguised as natives with military equipment including - according to some sources - bombs or bomb-making equipment.

CITGO to Begin Discounted Heating Oil Distribution to Poor U.S. Communities
Friday, Nov 18, 2005
By: Venezuelanalysis.com
Venezuelan heating oil will be distributed to poor U.S. communities via the Venezuelan-owned oil company Citgo.
Credit: Venezuelanalysis.com
Caracas, Venezuela, November 18, 2005—The Venezuelan-owned and U.S.-based fuel refiner and distributor Citgo will begin distributing discounted heating oil to poor U.S. communities next week. Rafael Ramirez, Venezuela’s Minister of Energy and Petroleum, made the announcement yesterday, saying that the measure is meant to show Venezuela’s commitment to disadvantaged sectors in the United States.
Venezuela’s President Hugo Chavez had originally announced the measure last August, while the U.S. civil rights activist Jesse Jackson was visiting Venezuela.
The launch of the discounted heating oil program is meant to coincide with the Thanksgiving holiday and will benefit communities in poor communities of Boston, Massachusetts and of the Bronx, New York.
The first phase of the program will begin in Boston and will provide 4.5 million liters (1.2 million gallons) of heating oil at discounted rates, which will mean a savings of approximately $10 million. According to the Venezuelan government, the discounts will be achieved by eliminating middle-men and having Citgo deliver the heating oil directly to the communities. Accordingly, the plan does not involve any losses to Citgo itself.
HMMMM.....interesting.

I have a little cat named Mabel
she's always sitting on my table
where the morning sunshine labors
for just my cat Mable.
Insisting, whimsically she babbles—
I am her enabler—
I open the window for Mabel
Like a bird in a fable
Mabel is free to roam
in the clear blue skies above
my table.

In the Oct. 31 Nation, Alexander Cockburn writes that CITGO Gas Stations are owned by the Venezuelan National Oil Company. I assume this is accurate. So today I filled up at a Citgo station in San Francisco. There's not many, maybe only that one. Maybe more people should vote with their gas purchases against Cheney's pals.

Posted by: MJP at November 18, 2005 9:56 PM
(This is a long post, so watch for seond part below.)
I'm telling you, IF YOU GET THIS CONCEPT AND APPLY IT, YOU'LL NEVER AGAIN ASK, "Why does the Bush Team DO that?!"
Okay. Here are three Bush-Team-induced situations liberal folks are ALWAYS addressing with confusion and lack of understanding:
1. The Bush Team dismisses, defames and undercuts REAL military heroes.
2. The Bush Team smears/attempts character assassination of opponents, fires whistleblowers, conducts firing/dismissal campaigns against professors/teachers, newsanchors, entertainers, and so on.
3. The Bush Team stonewalls, obfuscates, classifies ao public is blinded by thick layer of secrecy (and this includes media censorship, a form of secrecy).
The sociopath has two adversaries: First folks who are ignorant, gullible, naive, innocent, trusting to a falt, frightened, weak, desperate, stupid, or vulnerable in some other way. These are the easy ones to con, scam.
Second, there are the folks who are smart, streetwise, courageous, informed, intuitve, capable, or strong in other ways. These are the types who can't be conned or scammed so easily or eventually catch on.
Those three Bush-Team-induced situations listed above are for the second group of not easily conned, scammed people. (I think the anthrax scare at the Capitol turned what capable-style folks there were in Congress into "the frightened"-- part of the first category. That made them fall for or at least not block the Iraq War scam.)
Okay, so now go back and note how the Bush Team responds to those they've scammed. It was verbally evident in Bush's Veteran's Day speech defending himself (and his staff's!) pre-war actions and trying to shift the blame to his critics.
Bush sounds like the sociopath he is! Bush uses the twisted 'rationale' of a sociopath: When he said his critics saw the intelligence and made their own decision from it, Bush conveniently failed to mention that his staff tampered with the intelligence to promote their PNAC Imperialism. Bush blamed the victimized Legislators the same way a criminal blames his crime victim: Criminals love to say that their con/scam/crime victims are so
