The Conspicuous Silence
Not to beat a dead horse deader, but... (which, of course means I'm going to proceed to do just that very thing...) Is it not SHREIKING, SCREAMING, AND WAILING volumes that there is nary a mention of Porno JJ's latest revealed sexcapades on Drudge?

I think part of it is that the lemmings don't know which way to run. Something loud just scared them and they're running all over the place in different directions.

So far he have had David Corn weigh in and now the mouthpiece of Sun Moon. Corn I recall being a Dubya ass kisser of a critic at times. Is Moon just waiting for Bush to kick the chair out, so he can play clean up?

And of course, some of us aren't even convinced that this ISN'T some kind of trojan horse with something more devious at stake. Will Gannon be used to blame the Plame problem on? Well, either they have a good poker face, or this is, at best for Bush, only what it appears to be, and at worst, something far more scandalous.

And what is it with sex? Not enough to have sex in privacy, we have to have sex in our war; sex in our torture. What would Dan Brown say about the symbolism of all of this sex? Has our nation been co-opted by some kind of pornographic power cult where yesterday's pimp shines up to more importance than career veterans of journalism?

All this speculation runs wild when the one with some 'splainin to do is paralized in muteness. All we've gotten on TV is some poohpoohing, and a weak attempt to play victim. The hopeful fibs of last week are now journalistic mistakes and graphic scandals of this week. Then a few diversion stories; Jordan fired from CNN, but no sex to sell that story.

No this silence tells me they don't quite know what to do. I'm thinking this is the motherlode.

1. Keep hacking at the tendrils
holding this shit nugget these creeps know is thier awful secret,they try to keep in the shadows.
Expose them publically lets tear away thier mask of sanity and pretenses of "morality",tear down thier facade with truth,rip the stuffings out for all to see. Expose the sociopaths and thier deeds so they cannot get away with more abuse!! And of course expose the sex because it sadly is the only thing that gets stupid american wannabe taliban upset enough to turn away from the trough full of poison laced kool aid the neocons and pharisee offer them...

2. When you watch clips of that last press conference with Gannon -
Look closely at Scott's and Bush's eyes as they call on him. The "recognition" is there. So is a "juicy pleasure jolt." And, also a look of "this is an inside joke that only we know about."
Gannon emotes a recognition of all this as he "asks" his "question." Something's definitely "rotten in denmark" about all this.
I'll bet the White House is having constant diarrhea over this, and I hope it leaks all over the mediawhores so bad that they will be forced by the American people to publicly wash it off.

4. Well...
Jordan fired from CNN, but no sex to sell that story.


I read earlier somewhere that Jordan was seeing Richard Perle's ex-wife. Interesting.

7. I think Gannon was put in place a long
time ago to be exposed when Plame starts hitting the fan. Today Miller and that other reporter were ordered to testify to the Grand Jury so the case is on it's last lap. Gannon was put there to muddy the water and give another layer of protection to the actual leaker.

9. very insightful
And this is very important: "Has our nation been co-opted by some kind of pornographic power cult"?

As disturbing as it is, the answer, I think, is Yes.

13. That's the fraternity hi-jinks part
I read a book called "Them." A British journalist went around and checked out conspiracy theories. At Bohemian Grove, he got in and saw that these important, powerful guys were mostly having silly ceremonies and acting like a bunch of upper-class fraternity guys, with straight-guy-type drag shows, juvenile dirty jokes and peeing on trees.

They do seem like a bunch of immature ideologues. But, maybe they distinguish a lot between what they see as their own superior kind and the rest of people. When they get around what they consider enemies or inferiors, even if the people are not proved guilty of anything, the real sadistic tendencies come out.
