Is Anybody Listening To This Bitch On Tweety's Show Calling For Libby's Pardon.....

[global1]

now. I'm just waiting for Tweety to say something to the effect that - what are you smoking lady. Tweety says - I think it if the President finds in his heart that he should pardon Scooter - then he should pardon now.

We're being set up folks. Just watch.

2. Kate O'Beirne? Keep watchin'... Tweety goes after her. nt

[JerseygirlCT]

18. I so cannot stand her. Everything about her rubs me the

wrong way.

And she was so twisting in the wind there. Tweety had her dead to rights.

[Old and In the Way]

3. Just remember...her husband was in charge of staffing the CPA with

Republican ideologues - the same group that can't account for $8BB of taxpayer money. She's in this as deep as anyone in WH.

[Liberal Gramma]

4. He made quite an issue of guilt

saying that acceptance of a pardon was legally an admission of guilt, so if he IS pardoned, the right-wingnuts will have to stop saying he's totally innocent. Personally, I'd like to see him do some hard time, in a cell right next to Darth Cheney.

5. The kicking of the dust into the umpire's eyes continues...

Watching Kate parse words about Clinton vs Libby is giving me a headache. The right seems determined to kick up as much dust as they can, with endless minutae,ignoring the very big issues: Wilson was smeared so as to stop the Niger story cold, to kill it before anyone else started asking questions.
For her to say this was a policy issue being "politicized", well, when it comes to sending people to their deaths on a lie, damn right. But I call it "being accountable." The double standards here are just breathtaking.

PS--and this juror is clearly enjoying her "rock star moment." Oy.

12. Now They're Showing The Breaking News Sign On MSNBC That This Juror Believe Libby Should Be Pardoned

Breaking news - give me a break.

[Sleepless In NY]

6. "Read My Lips" Bush pardoned all from Iran Contra

Like Father, like son...it's a done deal. Same with Ford & Nixon. It's too bad these jurors don't consider the harm that was done to Valerie Plame. And why is that? Should more have been said about that by Fitzgerald? No matter, it's all over now. Bush won't fire Rove either. Sucks.

[FedUpJerseyGirl]

7. I wish there was as much attention on the "why did he lie" as the pardon meme

The media keeps pounding this "pardon" thing. When will the media dig into the real story, WHY did he lie, take the fall? What was worth throwing a career away?

[BeyondGeography]

8. She still says Clinton deserved to be impeached for perjury

even as she maintains that Libby should be pardoned for it.

The difference: Clinton admitted having perjured himself while Libby denies it. The fact that a jury convicted him means nothing to O'Burnsey...Tweety gives her a pretty hard time for this obvious bit of partisan hackery.

[City Lights]

9. She lives in her own reality.

Trying to redefine the meaning of a pardon. Pathetic. And her teeth need a good cleaning.

[Bitwit1234]

10. No No I was suprised with Matthews at the end...

He asked her...Did you think Clinton should have been impeached for perjury......she said yes. He said then why shouldn't Libby be found guilty for perjury-- lied...She tried to say that Wilson lied when he came back from Niger and said Saddam wasn't buying yellowcake. If you remember even the CIA and bush's administration admitted that they were wrong and Saddam was buying. So what in the hell is her problem.

She as much as said that Clinton told he lie he should be impeached.
Libby told a lie and he should be let go. So if you are a democrat the rules are different.

But Matthews did give her a hard time, he also said so is Libby difference because he is on the right side of the war. She tried to say not but she insisted this was all a political thing..How...I don't know. When there was a republican administration and republicans all down the line. The mindset of these people is awsome isn't it.

[Old and In the Way]

16. I think you meant "Saddam wasn't buying"...right?

Comparing Clinton's perjury and Scooter's is apples and oranges. Republicans had no business asking a question about the President's sex life. It was not germane to his job running the country. The Constitution didn't say a President couldn't have consensual sex...so the whole investigation, perjury charge, and impeachment was a complete partisan sham.

OTOH, Scooter was found guilty obstructing justice with regards to an investigation into outing an NOC CIA asset. One who might have had important knowledge about this administration's role with starting a war based on manufactured evidence. That has had real consequences to 10's of thousands of US soldiers and millions of Iraqi's.

Kate Byrne's husgband was involved with staffing the CPA in Iraq....he put in Republican operatives. They lost account of $8.8 billion dollars 6 months before the 2004 election....she's as dirty as anyone inside this administration.

17. tweety surprised me too. he done good!

i loved it when he called o'beirne on the clinton perjury!

i think the juror thinks libby should be pardoned because it is really rove, cheney, et al who should be punished . . . plus she has a kind heart.

11. Kate O'Beirne is disgusting..

13. If Dub pardons Scooter now...

It will be a stain on him, on Cheney, and on Scooter--not to mention on "Chip" Rove. If he does pardon him, I think it will be after the 2008 election--as Poppy did with the Iran-Contra figures. It will also likely trigger more Congressional investigations; the issue won't go away, it will only get bigger. Don't forget the civil suit Joe Wilson is set to file.

The trail has already been warmed up straight to Cheney, and with only a slight curve to Rove. It's not going cold anytime soon. They don't have Congress to sweep it under the rug for them anymore!

As KOS put it yesterday, funny how for conservatives, getting a b*** j** was an impeachable offense, but committing perjury, obstructing justice and exposing an active undercover CIA agent should be pardonned immediately.

Just goes to show, to Dub & Co. no one is above the law...but them. :eyes:

B-)

14. This other thread says: "Tweety is eviscerating Kate O'Berne (National Review hack)"

about her demand that Scooter be pardoned.

What a delight to behold!"
:rofl:

15. If he's pardoned, a subpeona from Congress can proceed ASAP.

On the up side, he could be made to testify.
Meanwhile, if the case is on appeal, he is going to be one quiet clam.

And what of civil litigation by Wilson/Plame? No pardons there.

[Fridays Child]

19. Maybe you're talking about Kate O'Beirne?

The juror on the show, Ann Redington, also favors a pardon but one based on forgiveness, as Tweety observed.

Howard Fineman spoke for me when he said that listening to Redington restores his faith in the jury system. But I disagree with Redington that Scooter Libby deserves forgiveness in the form of a pardon.

Libby chose loyalty to Cheney over loyalty to his country and, more specifically, to the Constitution he has sworn to uphold and defend. I know he's human and that he was caught up in events that may have clouded his judgment. And I know that, theoretically, any one of us could make similar mistakes under similar pressure. We're all just as human as Libby, after all. So, it's up to each of us to forgive him in our hearts, if that's what we decide to do.

But his actions have critically contributed to Cheney and Bush escaping justice for the deaths of thousands of our brave and faithful soldiers and hundreds of thousands of innocents, for wreaking havoc in the lives of millions, for outright treason. And who knows if they will ever be held accountable. For that Libby should not be allowed to avoid formal punishment.

And you may be right: it is possible that we're being set up. As someone else said, today, with the media laying the groundwork for him, when Bush issues the pardon, he will be portrayed as a warm, fuzzy, compassionate person. :puke:
