The media, manipulation of the message, and the big picture.
A baseball players lies to congress about steroids and it is national
news ..... lead story on ABC ..... but John Bolton lies to congress
about Plame investigation and the fixing of data to justify an unneeded
war that has killed @ least 100,000 people and that is not mentioned
as he get a back door appointment to the UN.

Bolton knows he was interviewed about the Plame outing just like
Rafael Palmeiro knew that the needle getting stuck in his ass was
putting him on the juice. Both are liars, but in the big picture which
lie has hurt more people?

:grr:

I wonder how the search for the missing white girl is going?

1. That's the whole point
Think about how weak this little episode makes the Bush Administration looks. That's what I would be saying again and again if I had a national microphone. John Bolton was afraid to answer a few questions. President Bush was afraid to let his nominee to the Supreme Court answer a few questions. They're Yellow!

2. Seems to me once it came out that Bolton is on record
as lying about Plame bush had to protect or hide him.

Funny both he and Roberts made their bones w/ the * mafia
helping to steal Florida in 2000.

4. On Fox news it is a premeditated distraction
I bet you that @ least 90 minutes of air time was given to different
missing people yesterday on Fox.
