Rush. This dosen`t come close to what Clinton did.

[slater71]

Old Limpballs listed all the things Clinton and his wife did from Whitewater to travelgate to the money from China. The alledged leak doesen`t come close to any of what they did.

[fertilizeonarbusto]

1. He's a turd

Nope, not even close. THIS IS HIGH TREASON, YOU FAT F*CK!!!!!!!!! Travelgate, my ass!

[Padraig18]

2. My very own thought, as well.

[papau]

25. True - here are some questions to be asked of Rush

From the ABCnote:

"Has President Bush made clear to the White House staff that only total cooperation with the investigation will be tolerated? If not, why not?

Has he insisted that every senior staff member sign a statement with legal authority that they are not the leaker and that they will identify to the White House legal counsel who is?

Has Bush required that all sign a letter relinquishing journalists from protecting those two sources? Has Bush said that those involved in this crime will be immediately fired? If not, why not?

Has Albert Gonzalez distributed a letter to White House employees telling them to preserve documents, logs, records? If not, why not?

Has Andy Card named someone on his staff to organize compliance? If not, why not?

White House officials who might have legal or political exposure on this are going to have to decide whether to hire lawyers or not, and the White House counsel's office is going to have to decide what legal help they can and should provide to officials if and when the DOJ wants to talk to them.

That means that the '90s practice of every Washington bureau of calling members of the bar to see who has hired whom is about to heat back up. The first one to report someone hiring a criminal lawyer wins a prize, as does the first person who develops that lawyer as a source on all this.

A reminder that students of recusal politics will have to consider the Rove-Ashcroft history"

5. LOL!

Bush could kill 10 people with his own hands, and Rush would still say it wasn't as bad as Clinton's BJ.

9. Travelgate, indeed

I can't tell you how I know this, fertilizeonarbusto, but I was privy to some of the inside info re: the Clintons and the WH travel office. The firings weren't the scandal -- the actions of certain officials within the travel office were. From what I could tell, the Clintons were justified in their suspicions. No, I can't say for sure that there was actual wrongdoing taking place in the travel office, but man, the impression of impropriety was certainly there. Big time.

Of course, the CIA/Plame story isn't nearly as important as Travelgate, though.

[fertilizeonarbusto]

16. Thanks for the info

I find that very likely indeed.
Folks, Flush is farcical anymore....

[boxster]

3. Yeah, and $60 million later, they hadn't found any

evidence, so they had to switch to plan B - impeachment for being naughty.

We, however, have Mr. Novak on videotape! Hehe.

[AP]

8. Yeah, the $:alleged felony:conviction ratio -- Bush is looking pretty bad.

What was Clinton's? $60 Million:1:0

Bush? $0:2:?

[Jacobin]

4. I agree

Bush* is a treasonous tyrant whose office outted a CIA agent and endangered the lives of his contacts, and who lied to start a war killing thousands of people and destroying the U.S. economy, while Clinton lost $30,000 in an Arkansas land deal and fooled around on his wife.

How can you even compare the two?

[bpilgrim]

6. so i guess that means our war on terror doesn't mean anything...

nor trying to track wmd trades... :crazy:

our modern day cicero for the lowbrow...

peace

[Capn Sunshine]

7. HIGH TREASON VS "behavior issues"

Rush is right. There's no comparison. Not even close.

[Maddy McCall]

10. Slater:

"The alledged leak doesen't come close to any of what they did."

Is this YOUR opinion, or are you simply repeating Rush's opinion?

[slater71]

12. Hell no

Limpballs.

[Classical_Liberal]

11. Who cares what Rush thinks

most people know that all of those blowjob scandals don't come up to treason.

[radwriter0555]

13. What clinton did doesn't matter. What bush is DOING is the point that

he's avoiding, as usual.

[Brian Sweat]

14. "Rush is full of shit"

[salin]

15. er Rush... compromising CIA operations on the flow of WMDs

is an issue of national security. Remember how many times before the war with iraq- YOU raised the issue of how dangerous Iraq would be with nukes and other WMDs because they might give it to terrorists?

What someone in the WH did - and the WH (with their war on terror) has been unconcerned about - has compromised the US efforts to prevent terrorists from getting WMDs.

Travelgate? Big theat to national security.

[Skittles]

17. Dear GOD

WHEN WILL THEY GET OVER CLINTON?

[salin]

18. its a good sign, though. They pull Clinton

in, whenever they can not come up with ANY spinable excuse that would fly with the hypnotized.

[Padraig18]

20. 2 or 3 generations from now

Until Clinton, most Rethugs still bashed FDR.

[Cocoa]

19. sounds like Rush thinks Bush is behind this

:shrug:

[proud patriot]

21. In the off chance that rush reads this thread

My thoughts ...

It is now obvious that rush doesn't believe what he says.

Endangering American National Security is bigger than
lying about a blow job under oath, Period end of sentence .

The entire WMD team the CIA had, was Jepardized for
political purposes . All the contacts ..This is HUGE.

Treason is Treason

hmmmmmmmmmmmmm
let's see
rush supports bush over the Constitution, and American
National Security how completely stupid of rush .

[bleedingheart]

22. That's right... Treason is a lot more serious than a blow job

[Padraig18]

23. You know it's bad when...

My State's lame-duck Reugnicrat Senator (Peter Fitzgerald, R-IL) says, quote:

"I believe an independent counsel is needed; allegations of such a serious nature cannot be ignored."

My head just exploded! :P

PS-- Fitzgerald doesn't have to get re-elected, and he has more money than God (so the BFEE can't buy him off), so maybe he's just decided to speak his mind, do you think?

[The Magistrate]

24. Good For Sen. Fitzgerald, Sir

This sort of comment will be very useful as this thing unfolds. For a fellow committed to the other side, he really id not a bad sort. Of course, a yeller dawg would get my vote in a race against him....

"LET'S GO GET THOSE BUSH BASTARDS!"
