How come I can't find a conservative to answer two simple questions?

[BOSSHOG]

- If there was no underlying crime, why did libby have to lie?

and I have been asking this one for years and have yet to get an answer:

- If Ms Plame were just an insignificant desk jockey why the need to out her?

I'm not playing stump the dumbasses here. I want an answer from a bush supporter. I want some sumbitch who obviously supports criminal activity by members of his party to answer the damn questions.

[MADem]

1. I have a feeling the answer will be something along the lines of

Well, uh....ummmm....Clinton's PEEEENIS!!!!

[rkc3]

2. Clinton.

That's the response I got yesterday to the first one. Took 43 seconds of mumbling before he could find the proper response - "but look what Clinton did."

The best part - my liberal buddy was in the hallway timing it. We like to see how quickly questions about bush bring out Clinton's name. It's good clean fun.

[BOSSHOG]

4. Oh I've got a nasty, evil, insane liberal response to that

Accepting the premise that Clinton lied (which I don't)

- If Clinton TOLD THE TRUTH nothing would have happened
- If libby TOLD THE TRUTH cheney would be on trial

just get up and dance all about them good old time gop values.

5. Snap! n/t

[rkc3]

7. On trial for treason - that's the kicker.

That's what none of them want to hear.

They're good, god-fearing, America-loving leader outed a CIA agent likely jeopardizing the lives of many other agents and contacts. Not to mention hampered WMD investigations around the world.

A tough pill to swallow for a crowd that's swallowed quite a bit from these guys.

[MonkeyFunk]

19. Of course he wouldn't be charged with treason

people throw that term around far too often here.

There's a strict constitutional definition of treason, and it doesn't apply here.

[baldguy]

18. Not quite.

If Clinton had told the truth, they would have created some other reason to impeach. The GOP didn't attack him because he lied, they attacked him - relentlessly, mercilessly & endlessly - simply because he was a Democrat.

3. ***crickets***

Their answer will be The Clenis.

:hi: Hi BOSS! TGIF! Spring has sprung here in NE GA! Have a great weekend down there in MS!

[BOSSHOG]

6. Hello Dear

Our darling Japanese Magnolia was quite the showoff this year and our Red Bud is "fixing" to show her panties. And those weeds are just raring to go. I'm gonna try some heirloom tomatoes this year. I'm gonna wait a few weeks. We'll probably get another frost this month.

[CottonBear]

10. "...our Red Bud is "fixing" to show her panties..." **blush*** You crack me up!

We'll get another frost here too or maybe a late snowstorm. In 1987 we got about 3" of snow in a March snowstorm.

The redbuds, red maples and pear trees are blooming here. My Carolina Jessamine, daffodils and hyacinths are in bloom too. My lawn service pruned back the foundation shrubs in the front of my house so I've got to wait about a month for them to green up. The butterfly bush had gotten way too big as had the nandinas. They will come back splendidly though!

Happy gardening and take care!

11. I recall Atlanta, March 1993

12 inches of snow. Started on a Saturday morning. We had to suspend flight ops at the air station for a few days.

The Nandinas got "way to big." Incredible. My wife would love to say that. Ours are scrawny little dudes. They are like runts. Loveable and durable but don't grow much.

17. NE GA huh?

nevermind....
love those leaves in autumn.

[smoogatz]

8. 1.He didn't lie--he had a memory lapse. Or possibly a mini-stroke.

Or perhaps early Alzheimer's. yeah, that's it--early alzheimer's.

2.That one's easy. You can't "out" someone who's an insignificant desk jockey, because they're not "in" in the first place.

C'mon, BOSSHOG--you've got to try a little harder than that.

[bullimiami]

9. whether or not a crime was committed and if its prosecuteable are two

seperate issues.

the simple fact is, libby lied under oath, he knew it was illegal. thats a crime in itself. he obviously had a purpose.

the plame question may run a lot deeper than revenge and maybe waxman will get some of the answers.

[BOSSHOG]

12. Here's one veteran

who held a Secret Clearance for 20 years, who hopes that Congressman Waxman gets to the very bottom of this gop septic tank.

[Rebellious Republican]

20. Here is another Veteran that carried a secret clearance for 10 yrs.

I agree whole heartedly,shipmate.

:patriot:

[MissMarple]

16. Iran? Nukes?

I vaguely recall an article saying Plame and her folks were working on that. :shrug:

[HuffleClaw]

13. 1. he didn't lie, he was FORGETFUL! 2. she was DISLOYAL!!!!

easy.

[BOSSHOG]

14. Okay

All I have to do is get in touch with my flag waving conservative side. Thanks.

[dsweet]

15. My Take

underlying crime:

Scooter was a skilled lawyer, right?
He picked the smartest lawyer he could, right?
Doncha think between the two of them one'm woulda thought of that if it were true?
