Shooting the messenger- Intimigate

Seems to be the Republican memo this week...actually
a usual defensive stand. If you can't address the
wrongdoings, find something wrong with who's telling
you the wrongdoings.

1. On ABC News with Peter Jennings

Edited on Thu Oct-02-03 07:50 PM by madmax

They showed a clip of smirk today with a group of Hispanics at the WH and he said, "Sometimes it's important to have a good 'abogado' (sp? Spanish for lawyer) and I have a great one." Doing his shoulder and smirk routine.

I assume he was referring to Alberto Gonzales, White House counsel.

Arrogant bastard! :grr:

6. McCarthyism lives

they've been trying to bully people into silence since day #1 of the Bush Occupational 'Government'. The WH Press corps hates Jr. It's the corporate media that loves him, and works to silence any opposition voices.

7. Enemies list Next?

Surely the White House has an enemies list by now. An enemy list just like the Nixon team had in the late 60's.

Won't be long before the CIA has it's hands on it. One wonders how they'll leak it, eh?
