Oddly enough, it's not really working for Clarke, who voted in the GOP primary in 2000. Back to the drawing board.

But he was a Clinton guy.

If anything [and as if we needed more backup], it speaks volumes about Al Gore

Ty's right, its incomplete. What about the Dems like SAM who admit its Clinton's fault, but only because he was getting impeached. I want more nuance in my flowcharts.

You're right at the appeallate level. But just imagine the lunches that came with the witness interviews at trial prep. That's what I was talking about.

Oh shit, I forgot you're on Atkins, aren't you.

Please don't tell me you believe this stuff. Troy Hambrick got a lot of carries for the Cowboys last year, but he is not a Parcells guy. Clarke's worked for four presidents, and only one of them was a Democrat.

Frist tries to slither back under that rock

  • “Mr. Clarke has told two entirely different stories under oath,” Frist said in a speech from the Senate floor, alleging that Clarke said in 2002 that the Bush administration actively sought to address the threat posed by al-Qaida before the attacks.

    Frist later retreated from directly accusing Clarke of perjury, telling reporters that he personally had no knowledge that there were any discrepancies between Clarke’s two appearances. But he said, “Until you have him under oath both times, you don’t know.”
MSNBC


The Senate majority leader ought to take a tip from bilmore, and decline to accuse a senior government official of perjuring himself unless he's actually got something to go on.

what will they think of next

Those sneaky bastards in Hamas have been caught in a dastardly plot to terrorize the nation's capital by driving up real estate prices in Maryland suburbs of D.C. What's next?!?!

And just like Bill swapping out Galloway for his guy Keyshawn. and Hillary Rodham badmouthing and firing the entire White House travel office for her boys back in Ar-kansas, don't think for a minute
ole' black Bill wouldn't have shoved Clarke out the door lest he tow the line.

Just recall that after 40 some odd years, Tessio switched teams too. Or did you not see that film either?

So is it Bill who's using some kind of Vulcan mind control to get Clarke to turn on W now, or is that Hillary? What is it with you guys and the Clintons?

I think Clarke's only allegience is to Clarke.

Shrewd guy. No matter what the outcome, he's now sold enough books to be set for life.

Hindsight is 20/20 -- I just don't think you can plan to sell books like that. And he got lucky on the timing with the commission. He's been ready to come out with the book for three months, but the White House got to review it because of his security clearance, and they've been sitting on it. The timing was their doing, not his.

Agreed. He's a careerer. Ty, on your question in a prior post, my understanding is that Clarke testified behind close doors to a joint committee of congress and this testimony was under oath. I understand this to be the basis for the perjury.
