Welfare reform, NAFTA, special interests, Triangulation.
i don't know if most lefites hate clinton, but they certainly don't trust him....or his wife.

i don't care when he gets out. tomorrow or in 3 years.
libby's conviction and GWB are inextricably linked forever.....along with iraq and katrina.
Doesn't even rise to the level of Travelgate, Vince Foster, Sandy Berger, Marc Rich, Monica Lewinsky & the impeachment etc, eh?:rolleyes:Quote:

sandy berger.....what you're referring to took place years after clinton left office.
marc rich.....a pardon
monica lewinsky....a blowjob.
do you really believe that history will be kinder to bush than clinton?
Libby's conviction might not but the horrible response to Katrina and the Iraq blunder certainly top even Watergate.Quote:

Quote:
(former covert agent) Johnson tells NBC that Plame, who he says started at the agency as a covert officer with "official cover" meaning a diplomatic passport, became, at one point in her career, "a non-official cover officer." Johnson said that meant she agreed to operate overseas without the protection of a diplomatic passport, which he says is risky.
Plame to testify before House committee - Politics - MSNBC.comQuote:
Libby is scheduled to be sentenced on June 5th.
here's to hoping that waxman will subpoena rove based on plame's testimony....after all, he'll be up on the hill testifying about firing US prosecutors anyway.
I forgot to include Whitewater and all the nefarious shit the Clintons were up to before hitting the big time.Quote:

whitewater?
Whitewater (controversy) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaQuote:
Three separate inquiries found that there was insufficient evidence to charge the Clintons with criminal conduct.[2]
try and raise your game boner....i'm getting bored.
back on topic....
Plame: My cover was 'recklessly' abused - Yahoo! NewsQuote:
Plame sat alone at a witness table and fielded questions about her CIA career and the disclosure of her name in July 2003 in a syndicated newspaper column. She says she was outed as retaliation against her husband, former Ambassador Joseph Wilson, who criticized the administration's prewar intelligence on Iraq
"My name and identity were carelessly and recklessly abused by senior officials in the White House and State Department," Plame testified. "I could no longer perform the work for which I had been highly trained."
Plame said she had no role in sending her husband on a CIA fact-finding trip to Niger. Wilson said in a newspaper column that his trip debunked the administration's pre-war intelligence that Iraq was seeking to buy uranium from Africa.
"I did not recommend him. I did not suggest him. There was no nepotism involved. I did not have the authority," she said.
Good thing she's testifying under oath as those words are sure to come back to haunt her. This saga isn't over by a long shot.
BTW, Wikipedia isn't a very reliable source...
the clintons were never charged. full stop.Quote:

Why the leak wasn’t a crime: The Intelligence Identities Protection Act of 1982 is violated when an intelligence agent’s covert identity is revealed within a certain number of years of having returned to the United States. After that time, that law no longer applies and such was the status of Valarie Plame.:rolleyes:Quote:

i don't care the slightest bit that clinton was impeached.Quote:

worse than being woefully uninformed and simple minded, you're a bore.
But at least I ain't some TEFLer with grandiose dreams of my own limited intellegence pontificating on subjects out his depth...:cool:Quote:

oh earl. since for some inexplicable reason you're trying to make this about me, i'd like to take a look at a couple of your other posts on this thread...
nobody told you she was covert, so therefore she couldn't be covert.Quote:

this was one of my favorites. one, because it wasn't very difficult at all, and two, because the last thing karl rove is doing these days is laughing.Quote:

But guess what? It ain't gonna happen. What is happening is you spend too much time watching CNN and getting your brains washed - big-time. It's an ever-ending litiny of repeated Rove 'alledgedly' did this or that. Amazing anyone swallows that pablem...:rolleyes:
