I think it’s worse that than. She can’t simply blame Bush.
He got ideas FROM HER.

She’s appalling.

Moyers “Bill O’Reilly does not have the courage to come on to my show” You can say that again.

“RICE: Tony, I don’t remember any such conversation. But I will say this: The Justice Department gets these things as a matter of routine. They will determine the facts. They will determine what happened, they will determine if anything happened. And they’ll take appropriate action.”

“the Justice Department gets these things as a matter of routine” Jesus Mary and Joseph it is one thing for Condi to keep attempting to cover Bush’s lying ass. It is quite another for her to imply that the Justice Dept gets “these things” (the outing of a CIA undercover agent by administrations officials) as a matter of routine. What a crock of hogwash. That is despicable and so disrespectful to Valerie Plame Wilson’s service to her country.

I mean what are you so upset about Wilson’s …this type of outing happens “as a matter of routine”. Condi “mushroom cloud” Rice should be deeply ashamed of herself.

Pinson, it took me way too long to discover the uses of Wikipedia for the Plame case. Try this link for ‘plame + levine’.

Hope it helps!

MNChuck, it’s remarkable to note that only two weeks ago, KO started an interview with McC by asking, “Which of us do you think is more surprised to be here [talking together]?” They both seemed a bit shocked and a little awkward. Tonight’s interview was so much more probing and thoughtful than most of what passes for political discussion that it’s startling.

McC is still saying only nice things about GWBush. But the release of the SSCI report and Richard Clarke’s book reverberate some of the issues that McC raises; it’s as if some kind of a convergence is happening.

Marcy: Who’s Levine???? I can’t remember! Also, would Fitz have ignored a firing after testimony? Sounds like the kind of thing that would have caught his attention at the time.

There’s a reference to a meeting in late July in Scottie’s book which sounds like what they might have been after in the WHIG stuff. I’ll get to it, but no time soon.

Nice, thanks for that.

I have a new theory about the precipitating issue for appointing Fitz.

When Scottie McC was interviewed by teh FBI, they sent a WHCO minder along. So they knew the content of the interview.

If they did it for Scottie, I presume they tried to do so for Levine.

They fired Levine in December–I think it was shortly before Fitz was appointed. If they found otu Levine was fired as retaliation for his testimony, they’d have to appoint a SC.

Just finished watching Olberman. First, he played much of the precious tape of the attempted ambush interview of Bill Moyers at the NCMR in Minneapolis this past weekend. Secondly Keith interviewed Scottie after his forthcoming June 20 appearance before the HJC had been announced earlier today. It sounded like he’s going to let it all hang out. Beer and popcorn please.

Just who was a member of WHIG back when the Wilson editorial came out? I’ll bet all of ‘em were involved in the blowback. And I’ll bet someone in the group knew who Plame was. Wouldn’t surprise me if it were Rover or Chainy– they’ve been known to keep extensive personnel files.

Has anyone reconstructed WHIG meetings around that time?
