[suffragette]

[babylonsister]

14. This is so unbelievable! They should all just resign now. nt

[dogday]

17. Why does Rove have a security clearance today?

[malaise]

24. Brilliant

Go Eleanor!

[POAS]

18. Repeat from previous thread on J. Thompson google

This may or may NOT be the same guy but a Jeffrey A. Thompson loves to review books at Amazon.

Here is his review ( in part) of "An Inconvenient Truth"

"

7 of 13 people found the following review helpful:
I agree, but ..., February 3, 2007
Al Gore has a very good message and it needs to be heard. He presents it in a powerful way. However, Al has one big problem his ego and an ax to grind. He never knows when to stop. To his credit, he does a decent job of toning down the politics, but he disparages replubicans exclusively. Excuse me, there was the Clinton/Gore whitehouse for 8 years between the Bush's, but nary a word about that presidency. The present administration deserves a lot of heat, but this is a bigger problem than what Bush created. I agree Man is exacerbating global warming, but the whole look at the life of Al Gore and the sacrifices he makes for this cause, slow the movie down immeasureably. I mean if he was likeable, he would have pounded G. W. in the election.

[Kolesar]

amazing the things to be found on the Democratic Underground

It is like a collective brain. Rather like the Borg from Start Trek, TNG.

[POAS]

110. I hope it is and

would bet it is the same guy!

[Hepburn]

19. Holy shit....

...the videos....documenting the lies. OMG.....be still my heart.

Talk about the Dems being prepared....I am absolutely shaking over what I am seeing. It is like I have waited for this for soooo long....and today is the day!

[HCE SuiGeneris]

Happy reckoning day you traitorous repugs!

[malaise]

30. Put simply

I'm loving it :rofl: :rofl: :popcorn: :popcorn:

[TexasLady]

41. me too

[NewJeffCT]

67. I know - Kudos to all those Dem Staffers

Who obviously spent a lot of time researching & preparing for this day! Way to go! :toast:

[HCE SuiGeneris]

22. Norton taking chunks out of his (knoedel's) ass

[POAS]

28. Rove still has clearance

[speedoo]

Yeah, she's using his own words to destroy him.

Knodell reminds me of Spiro Agnew. Striking visual similarity.

[jackstraw45]

26. KNODELL DONATES $$$$ TO THE REPUBS

He may be a "career" govt employee, but he is a Republican - two donations to the RNC - one in 2005, one in 2006 - $500.

[POAS]

34. OF COURSE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Sydnie]

47. Who said when his "career" began?

Could have been in 2004, couldn't it?

edit - happy fingers make many typos :)

[Eurobabe]

27. These guys are Dumb and Dumber

[WinkyDink]

31. "The security of the United States" shouldn't wait for the higher-standard-of-proof criminal

proceedings to finish~~~Go, Eleanor!!

[myrna minx]

32. Knowdell, does the security of the USA depend on the outcome

of criminal investigations?

[tblue]

33. Is Knoedell a crony?

[crispini]

35. This is better than candy.

Sweet.

[Hepburn]

40. Actually...this is better than SEX! n/t

[crispini]

78. LOL, I don't know if I'd go that far!

:rofl:

[rhiannon55]

120. It's better than sex AND candy!

Happy happy!:bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[LSK]

36. Waxman going to a 2nd round this time

[myrna minx]

42. Agreed to 3 minute "second round" of questioning. n/t

[dogday]

37. You know old Knodell is happy about a second round

this is an oh shit moment for him..... :rofl:

[suffragette]

50. Hope he's wearing his Depends today

He's going to need them.

[Blackhatjack]

38. Second round of questioning for Knodel, not what he wanted to hear....

[POAS]

45. He should have worn a brown suit

[blm]

57. LOLOL.....

.

[Justpat]

60. Really.

This guy looks like he'd like to curl up into a ball.

[Beelzebud]

39. This is great! Today is the day we've been waiting for.

[blm]

73. That's the overwhelming feeling for me today. Soooooooo longggggg.

This is why we need MORE anti-corruption, open government Democrats in office and fewer Coverup Dems.

[helderheid]

43. GROUP HUG!

[myrna minx]

[libnnc]

55. Oooga Booga!

I'm a believer!

:grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug:

[WinkyDink]

[tblue]

103. Dang! I thought I'd thunk that up.

[HCE SuiGeneris]

63. Hell yes -- drive them into the sea!

[tridim]

82. Whacking Day!

[Norquist Nemesis]

53. EO prohibits knowing, willful OR NEGLIGENT disclosure

"is that correct?"

"Yes, sir"

:popcorn:

[Cameron27]

54. Going after negligent disclosure.

Has there been any briefing with Mr. Rove since this all has taken place?

Did you brief ANYBODY? Did you use this as an example?

[keithjx]

58. Re leaking

"regardless of intent, the damage is the same" (knowing v. negligent leak). Great comment in the face of Rep. Davis's questions.
KJ

[marmar]

59. How can one administration collect so many dumbasses?

:dunce: :dunce:

These people wouldn't be qualified to clean zoo enclosures.

[Kolesar]

70. Eleanor Holmes Norton said THAT?!

[marmar]

98. Nope. Just my observation....

but I'm sure she's thinking it.

[myrna minx]

72. "It's my first day!" -Homer Simpson. n/t

[IChing]

61. Negilent disclosure is against the law as much as purposeful

They are nailing them with not just a hammer but with a 220 psi nail-gun.

[POAS]

77. You need to make sure that what you are saying

doesn't disclose.

[Hubert Flottz]

65. Karl Bush & Dick were playing POLITICS with the freeper's national

security.

[Eurobabe]

69. Cummings kicking ass!! Did you use this (Plame outing) as an example

of how NOT to reveal classified information to new WH employees?

[LSK]

Waxman "we will need the Daily Show for clips of Bush"

:rofl:

[Sydnie]

87. Jon will be proud and Stephen will be jealous!

:rofl:

[AlCzervik]

74. omg the daily show!!!!! Well done!

[jackstraw45]

75. Dr. James Knodell is the next Michael Brown....nt

nt

[LSK]

91. please K&R this thread

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=426655&mesg_id=426655

[WinkyDink]

101. "Heckuva job, Jimbo!"

[Libby2]

76. LMAO!! Mentioned The Daily Show!!

Could this get any better??

[ClayZ]

OMG I spewed my cold coffee!

[NewJeffCT]

90. How did they do that?

crumbs for us cube rats

[ClayZ]

108. Waxman said he would leave finding the video clip of bu$h

saying HEADS WOULD ROLL to the Daily Show to dig up!

[Hepburn]

79. Wow...

...even if they did not KNOW that VP was covert, the exposure of her was still the exposure of classified info.

Ans for No-Tell: Yes.

[Beelzebud]

80. ROFL I love Waxman. "I couldn't find the footage of Bush saying he would investigate."

"We'll leave that up to The Daily Show to dig that one up."

LOL

[myrna minx]

Waxman is calling out the Daily show to provide a Bush clip that they don;t have.

:rofl:

[Greeby]

84. Waxman: "We don't have clips of the President saying heads would roll...

But I'm sure we'll leave that to the Daily Show to dig up." Bwaaa :rofl:

[dogday]

92. Great Statement... nt

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

116. How about we find the video...

and email it to Waxman ourselves?

[Blackhatjack]

86. They cannot defend their inaction without admitting abdicating their authority and duty...

This will be a recurring scene, WH officials will send up underlings to testify that they did nothing and take the blame.

We are headed for a trainwreck with the WH officials, and the ensuing constitutional crisis.

[Blackhatjack]

102. They are pretending they were just ignorant .... not buying it.

[crispini]

88. LOL. Waxman "Don't pick on Knodell quite so much, Rep. Watson."

Hahahahahahahhaahhaha

[Laurab]

89. Oh I love Waxman "we'll have to leave the Daily Show" to find clips

of the pResident saying heads would roll!

[ClayZ]

114. Stewart will have a field day with this!

[BuyingThyme]

94. 10!? I have to read 10 threads to find out what happened?!

It better be good.

[myrna minx]

99. You will really enjoy this!

[Sydnie]

112. worth every minute!

This testimony is almost better than Valarie's was!

[myrna minx]

95. "Please don't ask difficult questions of Mr. Knowdell. "

[Greeby]

100. Umm Henry? What are you doing? nt

[ORDagnabbit]

107. good cop bad cop. :)

[guitar man]

113. "good cop bad cop"

she asked it anyway, well played :applause:

[youthere]

111. What's up with that?

:wtf:

[Occulus]

96. Mr. Chairman: "I'm sorry we don't have clips of the President making those statements

I guess we'll have to wait for Jon Stewart at The Daily Show to get those to us"

:rofl:

[Norquist Nemesis]

97. WH policy on classified info: Do tell, Don't ask

pretty well sums it up!

[seafan]

104. Knodell: " My predecessor was Jeffrey Thompson, who moved to Georgia."

"Thompson reported to Tom Dryer.

Tom Dryer reports to Sandra Evans.

Sandra Evans reports to (?) Allen Swendwen (?) (Must check spelling...sounded like this)

Swendwen (?) is a political appointee" (who reports to WH)

[tridim]

117. I bet the hierarchy ends up being circular.. by design.

What a worthless POS WH we have. It's all in the clear now.

[crispini]

105. I (heart) Waxman!

Floaties for Waxman! :loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya: Me love you long time!

[Hepburn]

106. Man....

...he is down on the floor and Diane is NOT letting him up.

LOL, she says, "but the crim procdure is OVER..."

No-tell: I have not been notified of that.

Hint, No-Tell: Read a freaking newspaper, OK?

[LSK]

109. Bob Woodward writes how he has access to sensitive information

[helderheid]

115. THREAD #11 - GOING FAST!

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x427233

[trof]

118. I just talked to Waxman's office.

Talked to a very pleasant woman.
I told her I could find nothing on the web or at the White House dot gov website when I searched for "James Knodell" nor for "Office of White House Security" nor for "Director of White House Security".

Also, he is not on the 'official' list of 2006 White House staff.
I told her I was very confused.
Who is this guy, where does he work, and who does he work for?
Is he not 'staff'?

She said she believed he was and would pass my question along to Rep. Waxman.

[Sydnie]

121. Thanks for making that call n/t

[mmonk]

123. very good

[rman]

122. lemme guess - they "didn't know"

It's always the same: when character assassination of the victim fails, they either "didn't know" to begin with, or they "can't recall" that they ever did know.

They haven't changed much since the Nuremberg trials.

[Cameron27]

124. Panel #3
