Is something wrong with my Decoder ring? WTF?

Scooter Libby to Judith Miller

Out West, where you vacation, the aspens will already be turning. They turn in clusters, because their roots connect them. Come back to work -- and life

Upon hearing this my wife said "He's doing her"*

I have no idea. Is this supposed to be a threat? a coded threat? a code not related to Miller at all? WTF? Bad Hallmark poetry?

W ..... T.......F ?!?!?!

Anyone? Anything?

Discuss.

*ON EDIT-I believe Miller used to "Date" Les Aspin if that helps any.

Common idea. Good one too.

That's one weird statement alright.

Okay now it really is getting weird.

October 06, 2005) -- After its starring role Wednesday night on "The Daily Show," the Sept. 15 letter "aspens are already turning" letter from "Scooter" Libby to "Judy" Miller has now reached a new level of infamy. Next stop: "SNL," a book of Libby poems, then the movie, starring Harrison Ford and Annette Bening.

On his show last night, Jon Stewart graded Libby’s prose a “D,” on merit, and suggested that he might flunk Miller, on general principles. David Ignatius of The Washington Post probed the letter’s journalistic meaning, a New York Observer headline referred to it as a “love letter,” while others suggested Libby could be indicted for coaching the witness, even if he didn’t out Valerie Plame.

One blogger declared that Libby and Miller had obviously conspired to nail Karl Rove: “Since all neo-cons are connected by their roots and grow in clusters, why pull the roots out of two neo-cons, when you can pull the roots out of only one (Karl Rove) and overall still have a healthier forest of (neo-cons) aspens.”

"come back to work...and life" = stay in the fold or you're dead.

Knowing it would make the press and increase tinfoil sales.

It's creepy enough to have neo-con written all over it. :-)

And there is a possibility that it's some sort of coded message.

But there is also a possibility that it's something else.

There will be a lot more of that going on, soon.

It does sound from the implicitly personal tone of the letter that they have a "personal" relationship of some kind. Or in Libby's mind... Swift hot flirtatious glances across the talking points memos?

OTOH, it makes it all the more plausible that it's a code. Or does it?

Okay, just Google Imaged Les Aspin and there seems to be a pattern emerging--sheesh.

or at least when the hit squad is tracked down that will be his excuse.

The "aspens" are due for some remarkable life change, perhaps?

*ahem*

To the Republican Culture of Corruption Clusterfuck.

I looked it up in my Funk & Waganalls

:rofl:

try switching over to your "south" decoder ring ... that should make things much clearer ... then you will truly "know the aspens" ...

wow, post #8000 ... wasted on a stupid pun ... well, #9000 will be better ... i promise ... i'll start thinking up some neat stuff now ... that should give me plenty of time ...
