Libraregy? It’s “Library”, as in “Lie-Bury”.

Thanks for sharing some of the interesting things you know.

Here’s what I recall: the guy who bought the land for the GWBu$h Preznit’s Libraregy** is a Mr. Hunt of Texas, and the Preznit appointed him to the national intel oversight group, which allowed him access to intel about Iraq.

This same Mr. Hunt then cut the deal with the Kurds last fall for a share of their oil; he made a contract as an ‘indie’ — and the majors started to get real restless and worried once that occurred. Wonder whether he cut GWB or Cheney in on the side…?

So the whole libraregy biz smelled from the get-go. But this is a new layer of human venalty.

** It can’t be a library; he fits a rough profile for an adult with learning disabilities and the man hardly seems to read. Or if his eyes go over the page/screen, the comprehension appears to be moderate (at best).

BTW

Waxman’s questions are great. There is no way to answer these with “non” answers without committing perjury.

My favorite part is ” the bush Adm. will not accept any contributions from foreign sources WHILE IN OFFICE” …we’ll just wait till after were out before we cash them.

i haven’t read everything since the news broke but, in the initial post some people were wondering why Biden’s name got mentioned:
in the blurb about Worldwide Strategic Partners the third guy whose “credentials” were trumpeted was evidently a former Biden legislative aide.

Fournier, now the AP’s acting Washington bureau chief, said Monday: “I was an AP political reporter at the time of the 2004 e-mail exchange, and was interacting with a source, a top aide to the president, in the course of following an important and compelling story. I regret the breezy nature of the correspondence.”

Breezy as in flag waving?
Shorter Fournier, I’m a delusionary Republican shill… my column isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on

Good Tuesday morning to all. Someone has to be up all night from time to time, so why not someone on the left coast?

I’m not sure you wanna use your calvary to get an answer from this administration

bush is afraid of horses, and cheney probably eats them

probably best to use your archers instead

An bmaz, I hope you read the rules about keepin your kilt down, nobody wants to see that …

I got the impression that it might have been mutual. (Something like ‘Get me the stories, and I’ll write them however you want.’)
