How many other stories SHOULD have had legs?

[Athame]

For the record, with all of the hoopla around here re: the Gannon scandal, I thought it would be good to remember all the other stories we thought would pop the TOAST from the toaster.

Does anyone remember when we thought the

Harken story would do it?

The Bush-Bin Laden connection?

Carlyle contracts?

Enron connections?

The Energy Committee and the GAO subpoena?

The refusal to take the physical in the TANG?

The community service with PULL? cocaine...

Paul O'Neil's revelations?

Joseph Wilson's revelations?

Richard Clarke's revelations?

shrub & cheney's joint testimony in the 9-11 hearings?

What have I forgotten?

1. Torture memos

Not guarding the munitions dumps in Iraq

[Athame]

Not to mention all the Gitmo judgements...

and we have a new, improved Attorney General.

4. Yes, all of those Whatever Happened? stories

A few years ago we were declaring, "This guy is TOAST now!" every few days it seemed. I think we need to keep these cumulative threads going just to show how big the thing really is.

BTW, 20,000 posts, Walt? My hat is off to you! :party:

3. That Halliburton guy's suicide.

Tom Delay's legal troubles

[KamaAina]

5. Israeli spy in the Pentagon

working for Feith, in fact, who just resigned...

6. The Emperor's Hump

If we use the supporting evidence of the Swiftboatliars accusations that was front and center in the media for months as our standard - there are tons of stories.

9. and the reports of his personality disintegration

from the White House insiders.

His health is a real issue that is completely ignored...The delay of the physical is another related story.

7. Title of August 6, 2001 PDB

When it was finally forced out of Rice by the question being repeated over and over:

""Bin Laden Determined to Strike in U.S."

How often did we here that they had no idea this sort of operation was a possibility? That it came out of the blue? That they, like everyone else, were stunned by it?

How many different administration officials are PROVEN to have lied by this single FACT? How many of them have been impeached or forced to resign over this lie, and the malfeasance it clearly spotlights?

None.

10. Seen any missing explosives lately?

The media had the goods on that story, especially with the Minnesota tv station footage, showing not only were they idiots, but (shock) liars as well. One word about it after the election? Any follow up on whether those explosives are arming the resistance in Iraq?
