I can't wait for the Kerry response to today's news.

Kerry has a special way with words, and I for one, am looking so forward to his comments.

I just hope he takes he time with it, savors the bittersweet moment and then puts out something thoughtful and throughly acidic.

Kerry needs a change in his PR team and in his website management team.

For news like that, you need to be one of the first ones and let it know, particularly when you make so great statements.

Even his Georgetown speech should be all over the place.

Everything Kerry has done and said is being ignored, and I'm going to play the blame game here, and blame his PR team.

KENNEDY REACTION TO INDICTMENT


FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Laura Capps/Melissa Wagoner (202) 224-2633

Today is an ominous day for the country, signifying a new low since Watergate in terms of openness and honesty in our government. This is far more than an indictment of an individual. In effect it's an indictment of the vicious and devious tactics used by the Administration to justify a war we never should have fought. It's an indictment of the lengths Administration officials were willing to go to cover up their failed intelligence, their distortion on Iraq's weapons of mass destruction, and their serious blunders on the war. It is an indictment of their vindictive efforts to discredit anyone who challenge their misrepresentations.

The American people know the high cost of this misguided war -- 2,000 U.S. soldiers dead, more than 15,000 wounded, hundreds of billions of dollars spent with no end in sight, and a continuing shameful effort by the White House to silence those who try to tell the truth about the war. Dissent is the ultimate form of patriotism, and it's time we return to having an honest discourse in this country about changing direction and paying attention to the needs of the American people. The President should take this opportunity to do everything he can to heal the country by not interfering with the prosecution of this case or the continuing investigation, and by cleaning house at the White House to immunize the country against any further corruption and dishonesty. As the President promised, anyone still in the White House who had anything to do with this scandalous plot or the cover-up should be dismissed immediately, whether or not they have been indicted. Something has to give — America can't stand three more years of this failed Bush presidency.

...to the Libby indictment on CNN! Is it online already?

Kerry statement


"Corruption to the highest level of the WH" contrary to "honor and dignity they promised when elected."

Nation was misled into war.

---REad by Wolf on CNN

on edit - you know what to do.

Which increases my frustration even more. (particularly given that Kerry was one of the first to understand the interest of the Internet in campaigning and organizing - He used in in the 96 campaign).

head line on Raw Story:

"State Department Under Secretary aided Libby: John Bolton is eyed... Soon"

How long can Fitzmas last????????

I always figure someone else got there first. I'll go check, though.

Edit: Yup, it's up there. New headline now:

Bolton eyed as indictment reveals State Dept aided Libby; Sources confirm State Dept., NSC officials made deal with Fitzgerald... Soon...

Bring it on!

only hope they can pin it on Bolton himself, and not just one of his underlings.

As expected, it is great.

That there is nothing I would have wanted more
than to be here in Oct '04
instead of Oct '05?

;( ;(

I heard it too. My jaw dropped. He was great, though. Just the facts.

time in jail, and if it was worth it.

To paraphrase, he was saying that he wants to sleep in his own bed, wanted this to be over and then threw that in.

My jaw dropped too.

One day I was called Republican hack and the next day Democratic hack and all I did between that was to sleep.

I was really impressed by him - He was both clear, precise, and staying in his role and doing all he could not to jeopardize his case.

He was so wonderful standing up there, stating his case so strongly. :loveya: )Yes, Fitzie gets love. He was just wonderful.)

I was so damn happy today. It's been a great week. The speech on Wed. was a home run, at least. Fitzmas, part 1, The Overture, was great. And Whome and I are seeing Sen. Kerry on Sunday at the March. Ah, some days it's just good to be alive.

And I LOVED Fitzie's baseball analogy to explain his indictment. It was brilliant. I think I have a crush. Sigh!
