Its too bad that we're communicating via typed messages and responses, or we could all hear the breathless, "hey-listen-to-the-latest-boy-we've got'em-now" reportorial voice that danarhea tries to imbue into his Plame posts. All the little innuendo about Cheney is sooo "truthout":
It seems that Dick Cheney is now under the microscope too.
and,
than a duck with one wing.
Man, you read this and you just
know that Cheney is the next guy under the guillotine! You can just hear that blade slicing thru the air on its way down!
Wow! Is that clever or what? Yep, just not very.
So much for the levity, lets now look at the sources cited by danarhea:
From danarhea's first cite:
the prosecutor possesses "evidence" about communication between Vice President Dick Cheney and his former chief of staff
Now, before anyone shouts "ad hominem", please note that I'm poking a little fun at danarhea's method or technique of presentation, not danarhea himself.
Interesting how "evidence" is in quotes. What exactly is that supposed to signify?
From danarhea's second cite:
Last night, prosecutors filed a motion formally notifying Libby and the Court that Cheney may, in fact, be a prosecution witness.
Ok, so what?
From danarhea's third cite:
Rove testified to the grand jury that during his telephone call with Novak, the columnist said words to the effect: "You are not going to get burned" and "I don't give up my sources," according to people familiar with his testimony.
Maybe Novak is willing, like Judith Miller, to go to jail to protect a source? Novak is a bit of a crusty old bird, so maybe.
So it turns out that maybe Cheney is not next for the guillotine, at most he might be called as a witness. Ok, so maybe we have to turn down the breathlessness control to a bit lower setting.
But don't you have to hand it to danarhea? He can take a couple of "truthout" posts and turn the proverbial sows ear into well, maybe not a silk purse, but something that has a lot of hot air in it.
All in all, these guys, and danarhea, need to come up for a breath of air, IMO. Maybe eventually they can prove Cheney lied or something. Then, if it should come to a Cheney impeachment, they can all do whatever it is that makes them feel orgasmic. Edit: And if it does, ol' danarhea can - justifiably - shout it out with an
"I told you so" thread!!! Unless or until then, I wish they would give it a break. Just my opinion, but this stuff is really gettin' old. Certainly, YMMV.
Now, before anyone shouts "ad hominem", please note that I'm poking a little fun at danarhea's method or technique of presentation, not danarhea himself.
