That is the statement of somebody that doesn’t understand the dynamics around here regarding the house troll known as JodiDog. Considering the insolence of the troll, people are inexplicably amicable. This is not a row you probably want to wade into.

I think Neil’s language was atrocious also. Two wrongs don’t make a right.

People should be nicer.

Hi Jodi-bot (waving madly)

Witness the whole Valerie Plame incident as well as all this email hype.

In a previous iteration, you bought ANATOMY OF DECEIT and were reading it at “Grandma’s.” Please let me know any page you found something you didn’t agree with or couldn’t understand. If I don’t hear from you, I’ll just assume you agreed with everything.

Thanks to everyone, except Jodi, for a great thread.

Misquoting again, here’s the original:

I have no idea whether Bush re-appointed Bradbury with Mukasey’s approval

and in the context of this thread, I’d say stool is the discharge from JodiDog’s orifice.

That is exactly right; although even more than the nightly news watchers, the intended dupes on this are the Congressmembers. Most cannot participate in this “release”; and many of those who actually could will not do the actual work of going down and doing so, but most of the lemmings will believe “hey, he released it all, it must all be on the up and up”. It is not.

Just to remind others, what’s aimed at here is not the timely release of information essential to Congressional action. It is getting the president’s purported concession on the nightly news. Fratto and Purina will no doubt claim by morning that the Shrubster has “fully cooperated” and delays “threatening our national security” are Congress’ fault.

This is also a classic squeeze play. Even if all info were released under rules that allowed it to be read in full and digested, little of that would be possible before Congress votes. As bmaz says, it’s not likely that the info will be provided in full or that the rules for reading and note taking will make it useful.

64 - The SJC challenged that last Fall

Gotcha. If they made a legal challenge that he couldn’t get more than two nomination 210 day periods and lost that before a judge, then I guess that’s that. I had no idea how many times he was nominated and the statute seems pretty clear to limit to two nominations, so the opinion would be interesting. But lost is lost.

I’m ashamed of our troll. I think we deserve more than this mental weakling.
