One-time jailed reporter to be called in CIA leak case |
Lawyer: Libby said he wasn't CIA leaker |
I wonder when Bush will pardon Scooter Libby and all the other president's men?
"Vice President Cheney lashed out at Hillary Clinton the other day. He said on CNN that he doesn't believe Hillary would be a good president. I can understand that. I mean, his administration has raised the bar so high." --Jay Leno

Are These Contradicting Statements by Ari Fleischer?
Fleischer testified under an immunity agreement with prosecutors. He said he sought the deal after reading about the investigation and worrying, ``Oh my God. Did I somehow play a role in outing a CIA operative?'' He insisted he believed throughout that the information was not classified.
_________________________________
"Ambassador Wilson was sent
by his wife. His wife works at the CIA," Fleischer recalled Libby saying.
Libby said the information was "hush-hush, on the Q-T," Fleischer said.

I'm Glad Hillary Didn't Stay Home and Bake Cookies
"The President has said this is going to be left to his successor. I think it's the height of irresponsibility, and I really resent it. This was his decision to go to war; he went with an ill-conceived plan, an incompetently executed strategy, and we should expect him to extricate our country from this before he leaves office."- Hillary Clinton
Air America and Al Franken
Air America's new owner will
be Stephen Green, 69, a real-estate investor who agreed yesterday to buy it for
an undisclosed sum and bring it out of bankruptcy...Franken gave his seal of
approval to the deal, noting that Mark Green is "a committed liberal" and his
brother "is very wealthy."
No reason was given for Franken's Feb. 14 departure, but court papers show
he's owed more than $360,000 in back wages.
"Oh,
President Bush also told Congress, 'Each of us is guided by our own
convictions.' And then a Republican says, 'Don't mention convictions, whatever
you do! Don't say the word conviction!'" - Jay Leno

Dear Lisa,
Regarding this quote you included in your webpage,
http://allhatnocattle.net on
Monday, January 29th:
"President Bush also says he's going to ask Congress for $10 billion more for
Afghanistan: $10 billion. You know, I got a solution for the people of New
Orleans. Put on turbans, throw rocks at each other, change your name to 'Kabul,'
you'll get $10 billion like that. Okay?" - Jay Leno
I felt I had to reply.... this stereotyping as a terrorist a person based on
their wearing a turban is damaging on many levels. There is a presumption, and a
frame is drawn around one's perception.
Most of the people you will run across in the United States who are wearing a
turban are Sikhs. I hope you get to know a few of us. We want to stand out in
the way that we dress so that you will know who is standing up to defend the
defenseless, and to protect the honor and dignity of all, regardless of faith.

Thanks for writing, Ravi.
I am very familiar with your beautiful culture. Oddly enough my father served three years in India during WWII. He often went incognito as a Sikh, as he was tall with chiseled features and fit right in delivering messages for the Army.
My take on that one liner is -- this administration funds wars and does not fund a natural disaster that destroyed New Orleans. And Jay Leno used the Afghan turban, etc. as comedic visual tools. I envisioned a street rapper with his baseball cap on sideways switching to a blue turban in order to get help. It made me chuckle.
We give billions to Israel too. If we were at war with them Leno might have said, "President Bush also says he's going to ask Congress for $10 billion more for Israel: $10 billion. You know, I got a solution for the people of New Orleans. Put on yarmulkes, build a fence, change your name to 'Morrie,' you'll get $10 billion like that. Okay?" - Jay Leno
The truth is any headwear other than cowboy hats, football helmets and baseball caps are funny to most 'Mericans.
No intent of stereotyping was intended in producing this website, sans untruthtellers.
Peace.

Being Dick Cheney
"Well, I'm the
vice president, and they're not,'' Vice President Dick Cheney said with a laugh
at the close of a long interview, asked how he handles criticism from the likes
of Brent Scowcroft, former national security adviser, an old associate
who has said that he does not know Cheney anymore.

Paul Wolfowitz Bringing Honor and Dignity to a Mosque
As president of the World
Bank, Paul Wolfowitz is clearly not short of a buck or two. So is he just too
time-poor to get down to his local mall and invest in a new pair of socks? Known
for his sharp suits and hawkish views, he was snapped revealing his inner slob
during a visit to the Selimiye mosque in Edirne, western Turkey.
The images offered proof - if it were ever needed - that even the big toenails
of the world's debatably great and good are best kept under wraps.
