TIME has the cover story up, and this image of the cover:



The larger image, when clicked on, is, as of posting, an image of last week's cover, a large apple.

4. What a bunch of fucking crap!

I'm sorry DeepModemMom, not you....

But one thing this trial has proven, and nobody is talking about:

How far the press has their tongues up the ass of Washington politicians.

Libby, whatever: they all fucking suck.

5. I think this story is generally believed to be negative toward Cheney --

and the idea of the cloud over Big Dick came from Fitz. Or you're maybe making a more general observation.

7. Troopers are spilling their guts in the sand

Time gets its ink. The parade of Pulitzer Prize winners testifying, the full-out deep throating, Judith fucking Miller.

This trial, like a fucking parlor game. Reporters sucking up to pols. Pols feeding them lies.

Pardon my language, I am jaded beyond belief

13. Actually, Libby's lawyer, Ted Wells, first mentioned the cloud over the Vice President.

It was all led by Cheney, Fitzgerald charged. And it all sounded quite ominous. An hour or so earlier, Wells had remarked on the prosecution’s tendency to focus on the vice president, telling the jury, “The government in its questioning really tried to put a cloud over Vice President Cheney.” When it was his turn to speak, Fitzgerald quickly picked up on Wells’s image. “They say we’re putting a cloud over the vice president,” Fitzgerald said. “Let’s talk straight. There is a cloud over the vice president.”

Wells brought it up in his closing remarks. Fitsgerald just threw it back in his face with interest.

15. why don't journalists speak the truth?

in the article linked from the OP, this dude duffy says:

"Everyone knows now that Bush and Cheney took the country into a deadly, costly and open-ended war on flimsy evidence of weapons of mass destruction."

it aint 'flimsy evidence.' it's called LIES.

SAY IT!

[Swamp Rat]

17. Maybe if Time had done this in 2002, 3,000+ Americans would still be alive

After the Enron debacle Time could have ripped Cheney to shreds... but they did not. :grr:

18. Oh, this would be a much, much better cover:
