LOL

[JohnLocke]

1. Bush:Hiring an attorney to find leakers::OJ Simpson:Finding the killers

[Pepperbelly]

2. NO --- to DEFEND him in case it goes to Grand Jury. nt

[scarletwoman]

4. No, that's NOT what's going on.

He's keeping an attorney on standby in case he gets called before the Grand Jury that's investigating the Plame case.

[Catfight]

5. Are you sure it's not Chenney on stand by to help bushie tell the whole

truth and everything but the truth?

[NewYorkerfromMass]

6. Interesting dynamic established there

Nothing like possible prison time to turn criminals against one another.

[leftchick]

10. What a lovely thought!

Watching the rats eat their own. I can't wait!

[NewYorkerfromMass]

12. cover your ass before the party's

SOP

[Nay]

11. I feel faint with delirium. Can I have possibly lived long enough to

see these bastards go down in flames? It would be fantastic. I can't help but think that he is personally so guilty that he felt he HAD to hire a private lawyer right away. This is such good news.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

3. Is Ken Starr available?

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

7. "My name is George Bush and I approved this message."

[blm]

8. Fitz is tearing him a new bunghole

wish I could be a fly on the wall...

[The Magistrate]

9. Excellent News, My Friend!

As this exposure was a political decision, and that is the one thing this wretch does closely involve himself with in the course of his mis-adminitering our country, you may be sure he was involved up the elbows in the matter....

"There will be a holiday in our street soon!"

"LET'S GO GET THOSE BUSH BASTARDS!"

[rucky]

14. My money's on Baker n/t

[lanparty]

22. Yep Baker-Botts ...

The Bush family Consiglieri-R-US.

[Shakespeare]

23. Nope. It's Jim Sharp.

Sharp & Associates. He defended Secord during the Iran/Contra scandal.

[Jacobin]

24. Curious

His Martindale Hubbel is basically just name and no address. It's the official lawyer listing and compared to the blue stocking lawfirms, he's almost anonymous. Guess he's an unethical fixer

[happynewyear]

15. story time!

<< WASHINGTON - President Bush has consulted an outside lawyer in case he needs to retain him in the grand jury investigation of who leaked the name of a covert CIA operative last year, the White House said Wednesday.

There was no indication that was a target of the leak investigation, but the president has decided that "in the event that he needs his advice," he would retain him," White House deputy Claire Buchan.

The attorney is Jim Sharp, she said, confirmed a report by CBS News.

"The president has said that everyone should cooperate in this matter and that would include himself," Buchan said.

She deflected questions about whether Bush had been asked to appear before a grand jury in the case. >>

No link sorry.

[greenbriar]

16. ABC tonight

confirmed that a lawyer is on standby for the dufus.

nothing says I am guilty better than...I want my lawyer

[killbotfactory]

17. I bet he'll blame Lyndie England

and Saddam. Covertly working together to destroy his reputation.

[Oddman]

18. Poor Valerie . . . her life turned upside down

and put in danger by a back stabbing administration . . .

How many dominoes have to fall before the American public catches on?


A complete failure in leadership

[Fleshdancer]

20. WOW.

Remember back in the good ol' days when Presidents only had to defend themselves against lying about receiving a blow job??? Those were the days my friend.

I had a sneaking suspicion this admin. shouldn't have screwed with the CIA. It's bad enough they blame the Iraqi War on "poor intelligence", but to out one of the members of the CIA is just really REALLY stupid.

Give these assholes enough rope and they'll hang themselves.

So what do we have today? The disgusting Enron tapes, Cheney's war profiteering, and now W needs a lawyer. If this wasn't my own country, I would be happy.

[Don_G]

21. Maybe We Can Get A Peek At Cheney's Energy Papers Now

And possibly get the CIA/FBI involved to find out how much they have in their Cayman Island accounts now.

...among other things....
