Lighten up, Ty. He just had a brand new picture of TK that he'd never posted before, and he can't resist.

Or Novak, for that matter. I've never heard anyone wonder why newspapers ran his original column, but it's a good question.

Good Work If You Can Get It

I would gladly temp if I could get work like This (Article about inserting human stem cells into monkey brains and whether the monkeys would turn morally "more like us.")

We're told: "A panel of 22 experts -- including primatologists, stem cell researchers, lawyers and philosophers -- debated the possible consequences of the technique for more than a year." I could debate that shit easily for a year, even if it paid me like a 1st year associate, especially since the resulting work product wouldn't be too draining and if they let me smoke a lot of pot (end work product after one fucking year we're told is: "While the group agrees it is unlikely the process would work, the members felt strongly the risk is real and ethically important.") We need to find a sugar daddy to pay us to debate some shit on here too.

Novak said that the CIA's objection wasn't strong enough.

From June 2002:

President Bush's exchange with NBC News correspondent David Gregory over anti-American protests in Europe attracted widespread attention. Bush ridiculed the reporter, who asked Bush a question about the protests and then tried to ask French President Chirac a question in French. "The guy memorizes four words, and he plays like he's intercontinental," said Bush. "Sir, if I could just follow," the reporter began. "Thank you," Bush shot back, as he answered the questions and then silenced Gregory. As Bush stepped away from the podium, he called to Gregory. "As soon as you get in front of a camera, you start showing off."

the Washington times reported that Gregory was dressed down. Like a petulant school girl.

In light of the lurid sex Gregory is involuntarily having with Scott McClellan's bleeding anus on national television, daily, I think Bush misunderestimated Mr. Gregory. From what I see, he's quite the pitcher, and Mr McClellan quite the pillow biter.

Thank goodness Bush fulfilled his promise to restore dignity to the Oval Office.

You do appreciate the rich comedy in your citing as an example of Bush's alpha maleness, and ability to drum down a press reporter, an exchange in which Bush uses a non-existent word.

Whether Bush committed some sort of copyright infringement or defamation is something I'll leave up to the good folks at Intercontinental Hotels.

You can't be this dumb. No way is that paid, or even a full-time thing. It was a bunch of law professors doing it on their free time so they can add the committee membership to their CVs and use it as fodder for yet another law review article that no one will read, in hopes of getting tenure at the third-rate law school sunny went to. Or, if higher status, because they can lord it over the lower status people on the committee who want tenure or want to cowrite an article with the higher-status person.

See Ty... easy as pie. Rinse, Repeat 10,000x until Karl is on K Street.
Well that's all fiery and cute but I don't think you actually believe Rove made his point (however weak or strong you think it was is irrelevant) to the reporter in order for the reporter to turn around and place Plame's safety in jeopardy by telling the entire fucking world that Plame is an undercover operative. Any idiot would know that plan would backfire on him and surely Rove knew Time Magazine wasn't exactly going to help him out of any resulting mess. In my view, Rove should be canned for mentioning Plame because in the end, the word got out to the general public about Plame. It's the right thing to do. He got had. Fucking Time Magazine. What was he thinking?

But any publisher that allowed his/her paper to out to the general public information about Plame should be stepping down as well.

Any time I want to keep a secret, I usually tell a reporter.

That's right, we should stick to legitimate news organizations like WaPo who employed Janet Cooke who made up stories that her editors submitted for Pulitzer consideration, the NYT, who didn't bother to fact check Jayson Blair, or CBS, nuff said.

Why are the so-called moonies (and there you leftist elitist faux intellectuals go again, disparaging religion, way to keep handing us the WH), any less credible than the leading lights of lies known as the liberal MSM?

I don't care about the papers. Not my issue. Let them jerk off that goofy issue about press source privilege. Thats for journalism majors to get their panties in a bunch about...
