1. yesterdays news nt

[johnnie]

2. Oh, I missed that

Oh well..lol. I can't be on here 24/7

[LibraLiz1973]

3. Do you trash every post?

Because it seems you would like everyone to stop posting entirely.

[frogcycle]

7. Olbermann had it on last night

i wasn't trashing - but I'm watching the march too, and it's not like Tim Robbins is the up-to-the-minute news source, so posting sound bites seems a little excessive

[LibraLiz1973]

9. Clearly the OP missed Olbermann

and was excited that Kkkarl got a subpeona!

[johnnie]

10. I was..lol

I try to stay on top of things, but I have other things I have to do now and again that keeps me from staring at the tube 24 hours a day. I didn't hear anything about Rove until just then.

[frogcycle]

11. well i am pleased too

and as i said, i wasn't "trashing"
I guess i did throw cold water on the OP's enthusiasm, but what the hey; I was so busy trying to play whack-a-mole with all the new original threads popping up on "the house" that I guess I got carried away

People can post whatever they want - it just seems like maybe adding to a thread occasionally rather than launching a new one for every thought ... oh, there I go again, trying to suppress freedom of expression... now that i have started using "hide thread" I can be as curmudgeon-ey as I want - I'll just ignore the noise and we'll all be happy

13. How are you watching the march?

OT, but you mentioned this, and I'd like to get the access you have. I can't FIND coverage of the march.

As I understand it, there is no coverage on it. They ended with covering the Rally. Are you just getting a blurp from a webcam? If you have some great connection, please share. There are a number of threads now in GD about the lack of media coverage. About the underestimation of the MULTITUDES of people marching.

I believe we are being silenced.

[frogcycle]

15. sorry

didnt see your note til just now
i had a cspan feed; they cut over to iowa and hilary

[halobeam]

16. yeah, they certainly did cut away, didn't they. Damn shame.

[seabeyond]

4. i would have assumed.

why are people surprised?

5. Rove, White House Spokesman Get Subpoenas

http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/LegalCenter/story?id=2828685

Jan. 27, 2007 — Presidential advisor Karl Rove and White House communications director Dan Bartlett have received subpoenas to testify for the defense at the trial of former vice presidential aide I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, ABC News has learned from a lawyer with knowledge of the case.

6. Ok, thanks

I did a quick search and didn't see it.


Nevermind people... nothing to see here. :hi:

8. It will be interesting to see if the defense can treat him as a hostile witness

and cross examine Rove, especially if his testimony contradicts the defense's position regarding Libby. Apparently Fitzgerald didn't want to call Rove, even though he allegedly had a lot of problems getting his story straight and gave conflicting accounts. It would be funny if both sides end up cross examining him on the witness stand.

[sallyseven]

12. They will. Fitz is letting

Libby's defense take the lead. He knows they would have fired him if he had. Now the whole story will come out. What if Rove lies (oh my god I said that?) and contradicts his testimony before Fitz? He can be indited for lying. I love it.

14. Doesn't this exonerate Jason Leopold of Truthout? n/t

[Coexist]

17. it would depend.

I am going to head over there and see what he has to say.

18. not in the slightest - it's a subpoena from the defense

to be called as a witness not an indictment, two completely different things.
