Who will Judith Miller reveal? Why has her source finally allowed her to reveal? Was 3 months enough time to cover up evidence??

it's scooter libby. the timing is great for the dems, though. first delay, then scooter? why though, after 80 days did they hunt down scooter and ask him to call judy now? he gave her permission months ago, but she didn't buy that it was voluntary as it came through lawyers. she should testify this morning so it should be enlightening.

Here is a message to those Republicans complaining that Tom DeLay is a victim of the "politics of personal destruction"--from Hunter at the DailyKos.

--

This is the world of the Republican Party, split open like a rotting pumpkin. Crime after crime after crime being investigated, all revolving around the Republican money machine. Every seed connected by the strands of money they share between them. Barely-laundered campaign money passed in the palm of every flabby handshake. Every player in boldface, underlined print in the Rolodex of every other.

And still, this same bottom-tier world of flag-waving supporters still obsessed over an extramarital sex act, but offended to the point of sad, blustering threats at the notion that crimes by gilded and worshipped Republicans are really still crimes.

Your party has set aflame the entire political landscape, and now, once burned, you warn sternly from the branches of a burnt-out tree about "playing with fire". You used the ashes of one of the great liberal cities of America, New York City, as war paint for your own sick, racist dreams. You shudder at a burning flag, yet are willing to snip-and-cut basic tenets of the Constitution as needed or convenient.

And now, you're outraged, not by any of the rest of it, not by anything that has come before, but because a few prominent Republican faces have -- shock of shocks -- been indicted in probes that have spanned years of investigation, and interrogation, and deposition. That, you say, represents the underpinnings of a civil war.

You poor, hollow, blood-painted clowns. Cheering the trials and failures of your country with the same pennants and giant foam hands that you wave at your favorite sports teams. Willing to accept the most outrageous of lies, if they are spoken from your favorite talking heads, and soothe your own notions of America for you, and only for you.

And as for the audacity of Democrats speaking up during this process... the redfaced, flatulent fury with which you declare Republicans off-limits to that which you so gleefully hurl yourself...

Welcome to the world of the politics of personal destruction, you tubthumping, chin-jutting, Bush humping gits. Welcome to the nasty and partisan world that Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, Michelle Malkin, Hugh Hewitt, Grover Norquist, Newt Gingrich, Tom DeLay, and a legion of insignificant lowest-rung toadies like yourselves nurtured into fruition daily with eager, grubby hands, and now look upon with dull-faced faux horror.

I know you hate me, and anyone else who dares disturb the thin strands of alternate reality in which George W. Bush is an intellectual giant, Saddam really was responsible for 9/11, the economy is getting better by the minute, and we capture the most very important members of al Qaeda on a weekly basis.

But here's some advice. You'd better start hating me more. This is the world you forged and, unfortunately for you, I'm beginning to take a fancy for it. Welcome to the politics of your own party, finally sprouting from the ground on which you planted the seeds and shat upon them.

Did I write this? Am I this "Hunter" personage?

Papa, seriously, when you wrote "the timing is great for the dems, though..." it struck me that once again, you're talking War Games strategy. Personally, I just feel like the piles and piles of corruption that these amoral men who hide behind Jesus and the flag have created is finally, finally being exposed. And I feel a sense of relief. To me, it's a lot more than just a series of Xs and Os on a chalk board with a big arrow pointing to a crown and a dollar sign.

Namo, you are asking this poster to do something he cannot do: be objective about the failures of his Party.

If this poster had one iota of the intelliegnce and integrity he boasts about, he would acknowledge the immorality of of these corrupt Republicans and denounce the antics of Tom DeLay and Bill Frist, Bush and his FEMA cronies' handling of Katrina, the "politics of personal destruction" as practiced time and time again by Karl Rove, Bush pushing the US to enter into an unprovoked war--and then incomprehensibly bungling it so badly, Bush's profligate spending leading to an unprecedented $2.5 trillion debt, and the ongoing Republican scapegoating of homosexuals.

Don't hold "yer" breath. Instead of acknowledging this, he will attack me mindlessly yet again with one of Rush and Karl's "Offically Sanctioned Insults for Democrats."

now, namo, i have said before that delay deserves whatever he gets, he's a sh*t and always has been. frist, i'm giving the benefit of the doubt until i see more info regarding the timing of his moves related to the questionable stock, even though he's a godawful representative of humanity, much less the republican party and reminds me of a slower version of frankenstein's monster. as far as judy's bombshells, i again reserve judgement until i see where they lead. what can i say, i'm an incurable optimist and just want to believe the best about people.

pj, i have never boasted about my intelligence and integrity, i have people who do that for me. yer just pissed that i can generally destroy any arguments you make on your own, not that there really are any that come from you that you haven't "borrowed" from dailykos, the raw story, america blog, the huffington post or any number of other blogs. you're kinda like the sinveling little kid everyone feels a bit sorry for on the playground who takes swings at people behind the teacher's back and then cries when someone swings back just in time for the teacher to see and punish the retaliator. you've a third rate intellegence and a fourth or fifth rate (at best) wit and without the words of others you would not even have a reputation around here. but you do seem to have mastered the "politics of personal destruction" that you so decry. ever heard the word hypocrite?

"Destroy"? Don't make me laugh. "Yer" ego is, as always, out of control.

And who's "jusy"?
