LawTalkers - Waiting for Fitzgerald

It's not out until next week. He's doing an advance pimping on Sunday on 60Minutes. With the excerpts I have posted today, it looks damn good. I can only imagine the skeletons that will be unearthed.

Reading about it makes me sleepy. The actual book must be better than Ambien.

I like Freeh's timing - just like his organization's response to terrorism - about seven years late...

This picture is like watching the progression of conservativism in the 20/21st century. You get to see the top shelf meal that starts it all, and next to it, the result of the digestive process.

I can imagine Buckley turning to his wife after speaking and saying "well, thankfully, I'll be dead soon."

I am a very poor reader. Books take concentrated time, and I work a lot, and have a lot of kids to tend to in my relatively small amount of free time. That's why my reading is limited to the collective works of the faux elitist, morally relativistic liberal inteligentsia, i.e. this board, the WSJ and the Sunday NYTimes.

However, I did buy that Irving book, as up until Cider House Rulz or A Prayer for the symbolically metaphorical babyjesuschristsuperstar Owen Meany, I had read all of his works ([outable]except for the 158 Pound Marriage, which has been on my nightstand for 5 years[/outable]) , and I am reading it, albeit more slowly than Spanky. Also, I would read this Freeh book as it would give me some more ammo to combat the nattering nabobs of no-nothingness of the left.

Outable to who? Your wife?

These Bozos Don't understand Bush...

It is amazing that these "political pundits" understand so little about W. Krauthammer is now asking for her withdrawal. W. is a political master that understand that disputes in politics need to be behind closed door, or you lose control of them. That is why he is so good a preventing leaks. If people want to influence W. the last thing they should do is make it public. The more public they make it the harder it is for him to back down. In addition, they less he is going to want to back down because he doesn't want people to think he will give into public pressure.

It is like negotiating with terrorists, if you pay them it just encourages it more. If W. gives into this pressure it will encourage more so he won't. Under Ws political strategy he has done what these guys have wanted so much that now that he hasn't they are so unused to this position they are doing the absolutely wrong thing to get him to change his mind.

This is a loyalty test. Everyone that fails by taking a public position against him is ruining their future influence with him.

Please don't out me, although, in fairness, I have done a lot of the heavy lifting pimping his agenda over the last 5 years in the greedyassociate community and as a counterweight to Ty's leftist rantings in the same said community. That has to count for something.

the link doesn't work. I don't know if the Republicans are directly behind this, but Republican or Demo the DC area is conservative in its culture. Assumption of the risk. You want sex and glam in the store windows, move to Hollyweird.
