Brit Humus...

garbanzo journalism.

Hume declared Libby "not responsible" for Plame leakiness

Summary: Brit Hume asserted as fact that Lewis "Scooter" Libby was "not responsible" for leaking the information that Valerie Plame was a CIA officer. However, Libby's indictment alleges that he did discuss Plame's CIA employment with reporter Judith Miller before it was made public, and Miller herself reported this.

On the January 17 edition of Fox News' Special Report, host and Washington bureau managing editor Brit Hume asserted as fact that Vice President Dick Cheney's former chief of staff I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby was "not responsible" for leaking the information that Valerie Plame was a CIA officer. However, Libby's indictment does allege that he discussed Plame's CIA employment with then-New York Times reporter Judith Miller before Plame's employment was publicly revealed by Robert Novak in a July 14, 2003, column. And, after sitting in jail for 85 days, Miller herself identified Libby as her source for the information on Plame. <

Fitz,

We'd like to thank Mr. Brit Hume for doing the Jurors' job in the Libby case so early in the case, but we regret to inform Mr. Hume that we cannot in good conscience give him that kind of power at this time.

Should a position open up for a tyrant in Media, we will make sure that he gets due consideration!

Good Morning or Afternoon you all,

I have been checking in and reading many comments from here and FDL. Thanks for keeping me informed. I was hoping that jury selection was going to be finalized this week. I have to wait next week. I look forward to the opening statements. Best of luck Fitzie.

Chickpea--that was Hume lying and knowing that he was lying. Hume is not looking good. He looks like he sleeps in a crypt. Even on Faux, it must be hard for a reporter to keep spewing propaganda.

While in my meeting...I was listening to everything being said...

But I had this scenario going through my head...

Monday morning..

Scooter Libby arrives in the courtroom riding a big elephant.. and the sound of bongo drums can be heard in the distance.

The elephant stops...and kneels down...a little ladder drops down...and little Scooter crawls down. Aborigines assist Scooter and start dancing around him...and the sound of the drums grows louder..

The potential Jurors gasp..

One Juror can be heard whispering.. "And he looked so big riding upon that big elephant!"

Another one whispers "They all do until they climb off that big elephant!"

*I started giggling at this thought*

Then I hear my Boss: "Whasup S-Q?"

Me: "Oh, just thinking of a joke"

Boss: "You want to share it?"

Me: "Uh...no..that's okay."

Well, we are know getting the negative and distorted news spin by the nimrods and asswipes of Faux News. Why bother with Hume and his toilet paper spin on Libby trial. Faux News have been giving nothing but blowjobs to the Gerbil and company ever since the Gerbil stole the Presidency. There is nothing to interpret from this crapola. And that is what it is: CRAPOLA!

Fox is now trying to spin that Americans dislike Bush more than Cheney..

But Polls show clearly that dislike Dick Cheney more. Something like 12% for Cheney if that much.

Anyone who shoots his own friend in the face has got serious mental issues..

Fox is covering for the Real President!

What do you expect from a Rupert Murdoch employee? Bill O'Lielly blames a 11 year old boy that has been raped, theatened with death to him and his family, brainwashed for not escaping. He also stuck up for Foley and likes to send nasty phone sex messages to female employees.

Meanwhile, "American Idol" is nothing but a tool to make money on making fun of people's physical appearances, mental challenges and so forth....sad that 40 million Americans tune in to support this while the fake Paula Abdul pretends to be outraged with that Simon then howls after the young man leaves the room.

Bush doesn't want to lower student loans, now I wonder if this fool ever had to pay for his own college or even came up with his own money for his "business". Maybe we could ask the Saudis such as the bin Laden family or James R. Bath. You think? And won't these college kids be paying off this Resident's debt he has created in 6 years for the rest of their life?

It will be mothers, grandmothers, aunts, daughters chasing these S.O.B. pedophile war-mongers down the street, wait and see.

Brit is now trying to get in the act. He's playing lawyer. The Bush journalist have no where to go but " Libby is not responisble for leaking Plames name", ok but he is GUILTY of lying to investigators and that's what he charged with. Cheney used the Nixon play book. Send many out to do the job of leaking the name thereby you can't find the first one. Most important you don't do it yourself send your appointees that way your safe. Fitz will never know who was the first to leak the name but the cover up is obvious. Now the jurors have only one job did this highly intelligent lawyer lie to investigators or did he forget the words I don't remember. Libby should have asked for a lawyer before being questioned. Most people need legal representation. To much is being made of liking or disliking Bush/Cheney. A person can dislike what job the person does without disliking the person. As this trial continues Americans will see more horror from Iraq. The world leaders are moving away from US Policy. We know Bush and Cheney lied about Iraq and everything else. To bad Libby's attorneys have to change the subject from lying to Iraq to try and trick the jurors. Judge Walton has his hands full.
Have a nice weekend all and for Fitz/team you did a great job.

Big hug to the rugby man-outstanding move Fitz!

From the Guardian a few minutes ago:

The prosecutor took a more aggressive stance and jury selection slowed so much in the CIA leak trial Thursday that the judge postponed opening statements until next Tuesday.

Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald successfully objected to the way defense lawyers for former White House aide I. Lewis ``Scooter'' Libby were questioning prospective jurors. The lawyers had been asking for their opinions of top Bush administration officials and whether the officials lied to push the nation into the Iraq war.

``The jury will not be asked to render a verdict on the war or what they think of the war,'' Fitzgerald said.

Brit Hume should be reporting on why so many U.S. Attornies are being forced out for doing their jobs.

http://theunknowncandidate.
blogspot.com/

The Krug Man asks the question, "Why ... are prosecutors that the Bush administration itself appointed suddenly being pushed out?"

"There’s something happening here, and what it is seems completely clear: the Bush administration is trying to protect itself by purging independent-minded prosecutors.

The likely answer is that for the first time the administration is really worried about where corruption investigations might lead.

Since the day it took power this administration has shown nothing but contempt for the normal principles of good government. For six years ethical problems and conflicts of interest have been the rule, not the exception."

--If the MSM did their jobs, all of America would know the full and honest truth. And they wonder why people quit watching, buying their newspapers or magazines.

I disagree about the Geritol patients, I think there are many good ole boys and country club gals to be counted in there too.

The oldsters know something is wrong in their country, they may not know how to log on to a computer, that is why it is important for people to inform them what is happening and what is being destroyed in this country. Put it into context they understand and it will click.

I failed to realize that Brit Humus had a law degree...wonders never cease! Brit Hume isn't even a third-rate newscaster when he's dealing with truth; he's an abomination along with his other cadre of Orwellian Thugs on Faux News when he's outright lying...which is the majority of the time! Now that show should be off the air - it's a total joke! More truth is told on John Stewart's Comedy Central....and more comedy on Fox News. Go figure...but isn't that what Orwell had in mind when he wrote the book "1984"??

This Just came out yesterday.

Following is an excerpt from the Arctic Beacon article that minions of satan posted:


Torture And Child Abuse Documented By Whistle Blower In The Drug Free America Programs

According to Jeff Fisher: "Drug Free America employs absolutely horrific methods on its victims, it receives funding for its projects from AIPAC, and has criminal leaders and players extending to the very top of the Catholic Church in Rome."


Jeff Fisher came forward Thursday on The Investigative Journal radio show on The Republic Broadcasting Network ( www.rbnlive.com), detailing widespread nationwide child abuse taking place under the cover of the Drug Free America program.


Fisher learned of the abuse while working as a part time teacher at the Baypoint School in Florida, the same school ousted Florida Republican Congressman Mark Foley worked as an administrator, according to Fisher.


"Drug Free America employs absolutely horrific methods on its victims, it receives funding for its projects from AIPAC, and has criminal leaders and players extending to the very top of the Catholic Church of Rome," said Fisher.


He added that Foley was aware of the abuse at Baypoint and did nothing to stop it, adding more headaches for the former Congressman who was embroiled in a scandal which broke in September 2006.

"If I had done as vice president what this vice president has done, Carter would have thrown me out of there,"

"I don't think he could have tolerated a vice president over there pressuring and pushing other agencies, ordering up different reports than they wanted to send us. I don't think he would have stood for it."
