Comment on Feith based initiatives… by joyhollywood

Did you hear the part when Feith said that Saddam didn’t do what he needed to do to stop us from going to war in Iraq. Saddam gave the UN everything he had and that was thousands of records and no one can tell me that Bush or anybody else actually read through the paperwork. Saddam didn’t tell the UN weapons inspectors that were in Iraq to leave. Chief weapons inspector for the UN Hans Blix said that the inspectors were doing their job and they were told to leave Iraq because the United States was going to war. Does Feith think that people would believe his lies? Jon Stewart has quite a bit of control. I would have been out of control with his rubbish. Bush wanted to get his paycheck as president and go to Crawford and clear brush on his property. God help us with what Bush has destroyed with his malfeasance.

There is an interesting piece in Salon about David Addington who was VPCheney’s lawyer and now chief of staff since Libby left. He may testify but the author said only some questions and not others because of executive and lawyer privliage. Is this where the great Yankee pitcher Yogi Berra says here we go again. I hope congress and Americans don’t put up with another Gonzales like testimony. There seem to be so many mealy mouth attorneys that were produced in the Bush justice dept. that testfied several months ago. I recall only feeling proud of 2 of them, James Comey and I think Jack Goldsmith and they both quit the deparment of Justice.

There is a in Salon today a piece by Joe Conason who wrote “The Hunting of the President” about the hard right and the Clintons while they were in the White House saying that Hillary is sounding like George Wallace. If Joe says that, someone from her campaign that she loves and admires should sit down with her right now and tell her to stop before she does anymore damamge to her reputation..

I ‘ve just read Paul Krugman’s NYTimes 0p-ed column this morning and he has finally accepted Obama as the Democratic candidate. As far as I’m concerned, Krugman is the “fat lady singing”.

Comment on more Novak… by joyhollywood

Novak has always puzzled me. I remember reading that he was born Jewish and converted to Roman Catholic. I having been in the convent for a short while wondered why at such a late age [1996]. It seems he became a friend with a lawyer turned staffer to Senator Domenici who later became a priest. This same priest helped Robert Bork and Robert Novak become catholics. The priest, Msgr Vaghi was a college classmate of his friend Clarence Thomas. The Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts and his family are parisheners of his. I forgot to add the Supreme court justice Antonin Scalia is also a friend of his. It’s funny, when I use to watch Capital Gang when it was on CNN, I used to wonder how the priest that baptized felt watching this seemingly mean-spirited man. Of course, that’s just my opinion of him.
