Important: Breaking story this evening...

[lala_rawraw]

Okay guys, this is a bit unorthodox, but there is a HUGE story breaking this evening at around 7 PM EST on Raw. It has to break this evening, instead of tomorrow, for reasons I cannot get into at this time. Because it is a Sunday and because weekend stories generally get buried, it is important that this get around ASAP the minute it breaks. You will understand how big this is when it runs.

I don't know all of the particulars as John and I never discuss our work prior to publication. I do know enough to know that this is huge.

Can I ask you please to be ready to take the news you are about to get and be the distribution, get it out? Can I count on you guys?

Thanks much, LA

PS mods, I hope I am complying with rules. If I am not, can you please notify me of what to change instead of deleting? I am not promoting "my publication". On the contrary, I am concerned an important story will die because it is forced to run on Sunday evening.

[chicagojoe]

1. I'll be waiting. n/t

[pk_du]

2. Looking forward to it !....kick!! n/t

[lala_rawraw]

4. Please keep this kicked so that the 6 hours

Until showdown are not a missed opportunity. Around 5 some of what it is about will start being "leaked out" to help in this effort. I can tell you that John has been working through this for a while and frightened out of his mind. So this story needs to get out. Please keep this kicked for the next 6 hours:)

Thank you.

[pk_du]

56. Will do...and Kick again! n/t

[hiley]

116. sure thing

for the truth anytime !

[cry baby]

3. I'm ready! Hope it's impeachable...

Thanks for all you do, lala, you are such a great asset to our country and a patriot!:loveya:

[lala_rawraw]

8. I don't think Bush will be impeached over this...

If he has not been impeached for the highest of crimes. It will, however, put a nice perspective on things. I will leak out what I can as I am given the info and the permission to leak it, just to keep the kick going. Right now, as I have said, I don't know enough. What I know is damning, but I don't have the specifics nor the permission yet. I am allowed for now to post this much.

How often do journalists tell you they will be leaking with permission in order to get a story out? I think John is also concerned that if he is the only one holding this, he will be the only one holding this... if you get my drift... so he is slowly going to allow parts to come out over the course of the day.

[cry baby]

13. Thanks for keeping our spirits up!

[lala_rawraw]

30. Just trying to keep my own up too...

Love the kitty:) LOVE IT. Did you put that up or was that a forum icon?

[cry baby]

42. It's a DU avatar...isn't it cute? I wish there was a car magnet

that had that cute face on it!

[lala_rawraw]

58. I have loads of kitty art I made... should make them

into little icons for DU.

[cry baby]

59. If you sold them here on DU with all the cat lovers...

it would be like hitting the lottery for you!

[lala_rawraw]

62. lol...

One would think that I could make a living doing what I do with writing, but I my illness eats all the little I do make. Might be fun to sell my art, but I don't have a place to do it. Like an online shop and such, I don't have time to run it. And not sure if DU would sell art work. Oh well, might have to stand on a corner with art and writing, lol:)

[cry baby]

69. You could put a small ad on your rawstory website. Everyone

here reads it as well as most left-leaning people in the country - every time someone links to it, you could have potential customers.

You wouldn't have to have a "cat art" website - you could set up a different email addy and advertise that on rawstory, then people could write and ask to see some pics of your work. You could send them some by email.

I know you are incredibly busy with all the corruption with the * admin and it's congregation, but when things slow down, you should give it a try.

[lala_rawraw]

78. I don't feel right about doing it that way...

I am who I am and I make no apologies for my views. In my work however, I am focused only on fact and Raw is a news organization. Art work for sale would seem like pandering and may reflect badly. I cannot sell it at Raw. I need a virtual gallery maybe, but honestly, what I need is an agent. I lost the one I had when he moved. He took my creative work, writing, art, etc. as well as my op-ed work around for me. He made the calls, wrote the letters, etc.

I don't really have the time to do that and I don't have the money to hire anyone. He was getting a %, but starting from scratch with someone new might be a different story.

Ever since I have been sick, my days are in part spent on the phone screaming at HMOs, fighting for treatment, and just being sick... plus, about 48 hours worth of work in a single day. So no time for selling, just creating is the only way I can put it.

Andy and I laugh that we have the looks and the talent, we just can get beyond our broken bodies, lol. Anyway, thanks for the suggestions. Always appreciated:)

It seems when a civilization starts to decline, the first victims are thoughts, the arts, creativity, and truth. Everyone with wealth creating all of these groups and sub-groups miss the point of the larger picture. If truth and creativity, thought and the arts are not supported, then activists have no tools and grope blindly in the dark of a fabricated thought structure. Boy, too early in the day for my musings.

[hiley]

121. your musings

are beautiful as your sister's are.
thank you

[cry baby]

288. I understand about the advertising thing.

I think it's a shame you have to fight so hard for medical care when you are sick. I hope you will be well soon and can relax a little.

How you and Andy keep going is beyond me. I admire and respect the two of you very much.

And your musings...right on the money!

[FreedomAngel82]

283. If you look at the icon

the cat face has a peace sign in it! Hehe. I just noticed that.

[hiley]

118. we get

your drift !
:kick:

[FreedomAngel82]

262. Sometimes I think

nothing will impeach the bastards in the WH. They haven't yet and they've done well enough crimes. Maybe we can get this story to Kerry and he can work on impeaching them. :)

[LibraLiz1973]

5. Keeping KICKED

6. I'll be here! n/t

[mahina]

7. This sounds like good news...

I love good news.
Kicking this soccer ball around.....wondering how else to get the word out other than by email. I'm wondering what would the reason be to release today rather than tomorrow?
What was that big thing Will had us waiting till it broke...ah ya it was Jeff Gannon. Did that hit the papers in anyone's neighborhood?

[lala_rawraw]

16. Good news sort of...blah, I cannot

Put a value on it given the little I know. I just think it is damning, but for whom, it is hard to say.

Also, make sure to get out to every mailing list you have and every forum you post at. We have to get legs on this by Monday morning and when the story breaks tonight, I will explain why we had to run it on Sunday.

Print it, copy it, leave it everywhere. Post it in every forum, blog, etc. Email to friends. Make calls to elected officials. Do all of that, please.

I wish someone would setup some sort of DU (trusted pals) list so that instead of posting, I could just send an email alert out.

[RAF]

9. will pass it on as soon as it breaks!

Good Job Lala.

106. Andy, you tease! :D n/t

[SpaceBuddy008]

109. can we trust raw story? site is so corporate looking

all the ads

with the controlled news we have here in lalaLand

any story with even a modest amount of depth or bite can be 'deemed' big

www.informationclearinghouse.info has great reports videos and culls some of the best essays of each day and...

it is run by one person with no need for insidious advertising

here is a story or point to consider, in spite of all the death and carnage on this recent attack and obsession to meddle with Mesopatamia

still more lives, souls were snuffed out by 'sanctions' imposed by a democratic regime

in fact there is an article that shows that democrats lead republicans in death tallies in the 1900's, who dropped a bomb named 'little boy' ?

The Two Most Powerful Psychological Forces In Human History Have Been WithOut Doubt Violence And Greed. However, the current global situation has amplified the consequences involved. More people were killed in the last hundred years than have existed from the dawn of humanity up to the last century. We have the dubious privilege of being the first species in natural history that has achieved the capacity to eradicate itself and destroy in the process all life on this planet. Yet the current global crisis is of a psychospiritual nature, and it cannot be resolved without a radical inner transformation of humanity on a large scale.


Planetary Survival and Consciousness Evolution:
Psychological Roots of Human Violence and Greed

Stanislav Grof, M.D.*
http://grofs.forskning.magiskamolekyler.org/text/plansurv.htm

* (unlimited possibilities if One and All contribute with...,
InSight-InTent-Clarity-Vision-HeartEnergy)

The current global situation has exteriorized many of the essential themes of the perinatal dynamics. If we continue to act out the problematic destructive and self-destructive tendencies originating in the depths of the unconscious, we will undoubtedly destroy ourselves and the life on this planet. However, if we succeed in internalizing this process on a large enough scale, it might result in an evolutionary progress that can take us as far beyond our present condition as we now are from primates. Thus, it is essential to spread the information about these possibilities for transformation and consciousness evolution and get enough people personally interested in pursuing them. We seem to be involved in a dramatic race for time that has no precedent in the entire history of humanity.

~ ~~However, if a sufficient number of people undergoes a process of deep inner transformation, we might reach a level of consciousness evolution that will bring us to the point of deserving the name given to our species, Homo sapiens—i.e., Wise Humans.

[B Calm]

63. Why not just post the breaking story when it comes out?

[lala_rawraw]

67. Because the rule of thumb

Is that BIG stories never go out on weekends... especially during the evening. We were planning to run it tomorrow morning, but we have to run it tonight (I cannot get into why). Because stories die on the weekend, we need to get the troops organized to spread it so that by Monday morning, it has legs. That way, it will survive the weekend publication.

[SmileMaker]

70. Kick for kicking the crooks out

68. Kickin it again.....

71. I hope it has something to do with the stolen election!!!

[lala_rawraw]

79. I can say that it does not (I think)

Unless these two things are related, which right now I don't see.

[pacalo]

84. I'm just hoping for something damning enough that

will cause a defection within the Republican ranks. Something big enough that those congresspeople who have a shred of decency left will say "enough's enough; I no longer want to be associated with these thugs."

[Cessna Invesco Palin]

174. Wish I could claim credit for the artwork...

The falling idiot came from either the AllHatNoCattle or BartCop site, & the Gump came from a genius friend of mine.

The signature caption, btw, came through the e-mail from a friend who used to support GWB but saw the light way before the election. The interesting thing about this friend is that her husband is high up in the oil industry, they live in Texas, & I used to get a lot of "kick ass, take their gas" forwards from her. Now that her son is of draft age, I think they're intelligent enough to see the handwriting on the wall.

133. That picture is hilarious n/t

175. TY...

[Buns_of_Fire]

122. Nah. It's GOTTA be...

Condi Rice Pregnant With John Bouton's Love Child!

Or vice-versa?

No? Well, what the hell -- let's float that story out there anyway, and force the sorry sacks of s**t to deny it! :evilgrin:

[Cessna Invesco Palin]

125. vice versa - John Bolton pregnant with Condi's love child?

Now that's a story worthy of note. Why do I get the feeling that this story will be on par with that sort of silliness?

[sickinohio]

138. If Condom is prego

I'm sure it's the chimps - have you seen the way she looks at dumbya?? Maybe that's it - someone is going to finally testify to the fact that dumbya and condom are having an affair!! Hope so - that's the only thing that will bring down the chimp. An adulteress affair - and with someone of another race at that!! Boy - the right-wing church goers WOULDN'T stand for that, would they??

[Cessna Invesco Palin]

150. Nevermind.

It's another goddamn Jeff Gannon story. Maybe Bush is pregnant with Gannon's love child. :eyes:

[sickinohio]

155. Hmmm -

maybe Condom's prego with twins - one of Gannon's and one of the Chimps!!!

[Cessna Invesco Palin]

202. On the subject of Condi...

Another headline on the rawstory site reads "Scientists put human genes into rice"

So, if by "Scientists" they mean "Jeff Gannon" and by "Genes" they mean he <censored> her, then we are correct in our asessment!

[Cessna Invesco Palin]

203. And the headline is...

"Condoleeza Rice, Karl Rove, Michael Jackson, and the Lindberg Baby are Jeff Gannon"

[johnfunk]

216. or... better yet...

Condi Rice Pregnant with Jeff Gannon's "Love" Child
Procedure Performed by Dr. Bill "Hello, Kitty" Frist in Secret Heritage Foundation Facility

Perhaps you are unaware of the fact that the original poster is Larisa Alexandrovna, Deputy Managing Editor of Raw Story. Raw Story is one of the BEST liberal news sites, and is constantly breaking exclusive news reports, important interviews and investigative stories.

I cannot think why you made such a comment.

113. So, why have 18 people voted for this to go on greatest?

I generally respect RawStory, but effectively building hype and voting it onto the greatest page is a little over the top people.

I just hope it ain't about the pope!

-Hoot

[dooner]

120. Hope Springs Eternal

Is that the saying?

Yes, we've all been disappointed. How much crime and indecency does one administration need in order to make the headlines? What more could we be told by Raw Story that would make us feel any better or any worse, or shame the republicans into impeachment hearings... unfortunately, probably nothing.

BUT, you never know.

[lala_rawraw]

148. so we should stop ...

risking everything to get the news out? it is no longer relevant, is that it?

[lala_rawraw]

139. I am sorry, I swear this is not for hype...

We have to run this on Sunday night for god's sake. I cannot go into why, but Sunday night is not a time to break big stories, which means it will die. This story is not anything I have written. I am not hyping myself. I am worried that the story will be buried. If we build legs for it, when it runs it will have delivery and it will survive the Sunday night slot. Okay? Please, know that I am not one for hype. Have you ever seen me post anything like this before? Give me some credit.

[hootinholler]

167. LaLa,

I wasn't referring to you about hype, I was referring to those who voted this onto greatest. I understand the need to build legs, I was meerely observing that to me, it seems premature to put it at or near the top of the greatest page when it has no real information.

Sunday evening may not be that bad a time to break a story in the non-comercial press if the intent is to have it picked up, 7PM EST is Midnoght GMT and so there may be time for the Guardian to pick it up for Monday AM, and definately time for US media to pick it up.

Sorry for my ambiguity, but that demonstrates why I'm not a professional journalist ;)

-Hoot

[lala_rawraw]

177. Owl :)

I understand. I merely asked people to kick it up. Greatest is fine because really, why can't a great story be about people mobilizing? In and of itself that is a story.

I wish you were right, but that is not true. I watch the daily logs and I know how things break and when. Sunday night is not a good time. Plus, the justice Sunday crap will hit the wires, and Bolton, etc., will all be Monday morning, I assume. All big stories break Monday morning, if possible. We were planning on it, but we were forced to Sunday. So I am tired, going to nap for 30 min. Thanks Owl, I love the cute image.

[hootinholler]

192. Thanks, He's my trademark/servicemark...

Been using him for years now.

I guess that your right about Justice Sunday, I'm hoping that I see a headline like:
Mullah Dobson of Focus On the Family issues fatwah against US Courts, Jihad declared!

Sweet dreams sweetie.

-Hoot

[burn the bush]

117. Related to Justice Sunday?

something about Frist? hmmmmm?

[Goldmund]

127. Kicking -- anything new to leak, lala?

[lala_rawraw]

130. Leak #1: It is him

The story is about Gannon, but not what you think. That is all I can say... at 5, the headline will go up and at 7 pm it will run... it has to get legs because this is grounds for....

[hiley]

135. ooooooooh

gannon oh my !!!!!!!


:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

[MelissaB]

137. OMG!

Holding breath here...

[il_lilac]

140. please be for impeachment!!

[MelissaB]

142. I'm hoping for the "i" word, too!

[MelissaB]

147. Lala, please tell us

if it is the "i" word we are hoping for.

[lala_rawraw]

161. i? impeachment? no, i don't think so

I don't know what will cause impeachment at this point... going to war of fixed pretenses, torture, theft of citizens' funds... if those don't count, not sure what does. That said, this is bad in that it looks bad, it suggests a plethora of possible things going on (and don't go all scandal on me:)). Again, not my story, so I cannot tell beyond what the writer of the story allows me to. I am telling you for the reasons I have mentioned over and over. We cannot let them bury this.

[MelissaB]

163. Thank you!

You fight the good fight, Lala.

[Goldmund]

159. That is most excellent

I will run a blurb on jeffgannon.org and link to RawStory, if y'all don't mind.

[Goldmund]

272. Oops

[DearAbby]

144. Kick

:popcorn:

[TriMetFan]

145. keep it

:kick:

[Extend a Hand]

146. back for another kick

waiting most impatiently :) :kick:

[sickinohio]

149. Hmmmmm - I wish I had more

patience!!

[MelissaB]

151. Me, too.

This is killing me. Even my daughter is hitting refresh, and she is only 10. :)

[sickinohio]

153. You're raising a right-smart little

lad there!

:toast:

[MelissaB]

157. She is a liberal through and though,

and that is difficult in Alabama.

[sickinohio]

166. Against ALL odds - you ARE doin

a mighty fine job!! Not so easy down there in a red state to keep the little ones on the right (or should I say left) track I bet!!

[lala_rawraw]

156. Leak #2

I am giving this stuff because I want to stress, this is not hype and this story has to be saved from its Sunday slot. So, here is one more leak before the full header goes up at 5pm.

Gannon.... Documents.

[MelissaB]

160. It goes to the top?

Oh, please, let it be.

[sickinohio]

168. My sentiments exactly!!

[dutchdemocrat]

162. Hmm....

Gannon's plagiarism?
http://rawstory.com/exclusives/byrne/gannon_accused_of_plagiarism_331.htm

[lala_rawraw]

165. no

[Toucano]

164. I hope it's the MONEY TRAIL!

That would be fantastic to find how a volunteer "reporter" really supported himself. Besides leaving "only impressions" that is.

[Scout1071]

169. His applications for WH and Congressional passes?

[Kansas Wyatt]

198. Rathergate? Plame outing? Proof from Rove to Gannon?

[NewJeffCT]

152. another big tease

Hopefully, this is not right up there with the atrios one and Josh Marshall's tectonic plates...

[lala_rawraw]

170. Okay, look... If we put up a teaser...

We do it on our publication, always. I have never posted a teaser in a forum. The reason I did so today, I will say it again:

1). Stories that run on the weekend, evenings... get killed and buried. No one reads them and they don't make it to the level of loudness required to get people mobilized and things done.

2). This story is important, legally, very much so.

3). We were forced to run it Sunday, for reasons I cannot go into. Meaning that it would be buried.

4). To avoid something this important being buried, I am trying to generate and mobilize people to get ready to spread it and to contact their congressional leaders.

5). I cannot however tell you what the story is because it is not mine to tell, but I got permission to at least give you some info.

6). This is not for hype... this is so an important, very important legal story gets pushed to the MSM and maybe, just maybe, a miracle will happen and someone will actually answer questions.

7). Or, we could have just let it run and die...

[hiley]

181. don't worry about

it just enjoy the excitement of news that is not rwn slated !
I love RawStory and trust them too.

[sellitman]

183. I like BIG STORIES!!!

Kick!!!!

[fooj]

308. We won't let this story die!

The American people have a right to know the facts! Period.

Peace.

[Window]

154. Kick

.

[rocktivity]

171. 7PM EST--the same time as the Justice Sunday webcast

It's going to get buried anyway.

:headbang:
rocknation

[lala_rawraw]

178. Don't let it get buried

Justice Sunday is a distraction from real news and real crimes. Why is there no Justice Day for 9/11 victims? Because it would allow too many questions. Don't let Justice Sunday eat this or any other important story. That is what they want.

[hiley]

184. Justice Sunday is a distraction from real news and real crimes.

yes, more bait and switch so as to keep us extremely busy fighting the bullshit from PNAC !

[cally]

172. kick....can't wait for the headline!!

[sickinohio]

173. 7 minutes and counting

[POAS]

179. I don't think so...........n/t

[sickinohio]

182. Til the headline, right????

[Blue Diadem]

186. That's what I thought, headline at 5:00 and story at 7:00. n/t

[sickinohio]

187. headline is still not there

Gannon had sex with Karl Rove and Gannon paid this time.:) :)
I can only hope.

201. Love triangle

Gannon/Hannity/O'Reilly

[SmileMaker]

188. Kick for a juicy headline - it's after 5 btw

[lala_rawraw]

191. I know... waiting on statement from

a person for the article...hang in there, i am excited to given that I don't know the full story either.

[Scout1071]

207. Couldn't you still post the headline with a "details coming soon"

disclaimer?

Just being a bit impatient. Thanks for all you do.

[MelissaB]

189. Patience is a virtue.

I will be patient. I will be patient. I will be patient. I will be patient. I will be patient. I will be patient. I will be patient. I will be patient. I will be patient. I will be patient. I will be patient. I will be patient. I will be patient. I will be patient. I will be patient. I will be patient. I will be patient. I will be patient. I will be patient. I will be patient. I will be patient. I will be patient. I will be patient. I will be patient.


Really, I will.

[pacalo]

194. Question: Will the headline be posted here or separately?

[MelissaB]

196. At RawStory (I would think).

They always have a banner at the top with breaking news. It's just not up yet.

[pacalo]

200. Thanks, Melissa. :)

[bush_is_wacko]

199. Nah, Gump had morals! Makes a great gump though doesn't he? n/t

[pacalo]

209. And Babs didn't do as good a job as Mrs. Gump, either.

One of Babs' pearls of "wisdom":

"But why should we hear about body bags & deaths & how many, what day it's gonna happen, & how many this, or what do you suppose. Or, I mean, it's not relevant. So, why should I waste my beautiful mind on something like that?" -- Barbara Bush during a 2003 interview with Diane Sawyer, ABC

[sickinohio]

195. Me too - gonna get a refreshing "drink" and will be

right back

[medeak]

193. Gannon/Plame?

I can only hope?

[burn the bush]

197. I can't be patient any longer I WANT THE RAWSTORY give it to me now

ummm please?

is it documents showing who allowed Gannon in to the WH?

[bush_is_wacko]

206. Quit hogging Raw story! I tried to get there but it was taking forever to

come up! Invasion of rawstory. I hope the site can stay up! Maybe we should feed it some Viagra or something!

[sickinohio]

211. Sorry - Gannon used all the Viagra

[bush_is_wacko]

238. LMAO! He certainly must have had his share, from what I could see anyway!

I covered my eyes though, I swear! LOL!

[sickinohio]

292. I covered my eyes too

;) :blush:

[bush_is_wacko]

304. Oops! forgot to blush. Guess I'm outed!

What do you expect from someone that has been married to the same man for 20 years. I don't get to see very many!

[senseandsensibility]

204. Gannon...documents

hmm...C'mon, some of you who know more about the Gannon epic than I do. What douments was/is Guckert involved with? His "writings?" Weren't they just press releases?

[Cessna Invesco Palin]

205. Letters to Penthouse Forum, most likely. n/t

[dutchdemocrat]

213. I think it's

Either

documents relating to the FOIA requests fired at the Department of Homeland Security...

Or docs relating to Plame...

Hmm....

Tick... Tick...

[LiveWire]

226. This kick is for UCSB

The story, whatever it may be, will be in Rep. Lois Capps hands on Monday when she visits our school. This is going strait to capitol hill whether they like it or not.

[Cessna Invesco Palin]

252. HEADLINE IS UP *NOW*!!!

Not.

Hey, somebody had to do it.

[catzies]

303. LOIS CAPPS??? She is AWESOME. I wish I was in her district

She's the Rep.for the 24th, I'm in the 23rd.

:bounce:

[LiveWire]

318. Awe the 23rd!

WE're like neighbors!

[catzies]

338. Yeah, we must be and welcome to DU! Glad you found us!

:hi: LiveWire!

[nashville_brook]

234. i never thought i'd find myself in the white house press corps... but...

:)

[bush_is_wacko]

208. Plame leak and foreknowledge of Iraq invasion!

There are prabably some other things but those are the MAJOR ones!

[Cessna Invesco Palin]

214. Who *didn't* have foreknowledge of the Iraq invasion?

[bush_is_wacko]

225. I mean specific knowledge as in EXACTLY when blah, blah, blah n/t!

[senseandsensibility]

215. Thanks for refreshing my memory about

those!:-)

[monarch]

210. Timing?

Does the fact that there has been no headline yet mean that the story will not be out at 7:00?

[SmileMaker]

212. I'm patient and I know that John is a good fact checker

I liked that he fact checked the story on Hyde. He talked about it on Brad's show last night when he called in.

I'm wondering if it has something to do with DNA - a connection with Gosch or with a high WH closet queen. Remember the reward? Maybe someone has come forward with the Bush version of a 'blue dress'? Oh how I hope!

It would be such poetic justice for the party that uses gay issues to divide us to be brought down by its own lustful transgressions. And just imagine how the headline would look next to the story of "justice' sunday.

Wouldn't it be nice if was a love story and the lovers finally decide that they've had enough of lying? I do believe that love conquers all.

[sickinohio]

217. Now a story like that would be the best ever to bring down those

holier-than-thou-right-wing-religious hypocrites, wouldn't it??

[SnowBack]

220. I'm afraid to leave my computer.... I NEED to know....

I need a life!

kick!

[sickinohio]

233. I hear ya

Thank God it's snowing here in Ohio - makes me not feel so guilty about sitting here all day.

[The Witch]

218. Who's John?

I know I'm a dork for asking, but are you working with Aravosis The Great? He's usually pretty quiet before a big story breaks, but he's been pretty active today. Well, be it him or another John, my thanks go out to everyone who's been pursuing this story. :)

[troubleinwinter]

223. His name is John Byrne.

You could actually look at Raw Story's site to find this information.

[Scout1071]

229. No law against asking questions.

Geez. Rude much?

[hiley]

298. What was rude about it ?

Really, I don't see rude in showing you were the information is about a prominant Left reporter ..
Can you explain please ?
hiley

[Scout1071]

322. I felt the response came off as rude.

Implying that the person who asked the question was lazy. Big effin' deal. There was a better way to point her to the link and maybe provide info on the author rather than something to the effect of "you could just look the info up yourself." I know that's probably not a direct quote, but whatever.

[The Witch]

245. Ah, but that would be too easy!

I'm saving my energy for helping spread the story once it DOES break! :laugh:

[pazarus]

219. I don't know, this strikes me as cruel...

Give everyone a few hours to ride the hope wave and come up with their own version of what a great scoop would be... How could whatever it is ever live up to what I want from a damning story?

But oh man, I hope they caught video feed of Cheney smoking a hookah with bin Laden circa August 2001...

[janx]

221. DUers are fairly patient. We've had to be.

And apparently it has something to do with the gay prostitute freeper who was masqerading as a reporter for the * administration.

[medeak]

242. friend close to Ambassador Joe Wilson

called him "hired henchman"

[janx]

248. My guess is that this story has something to do with media--

not just Guckert, but Guckert as leading to the * administration's dealings with media.

But it's just a guess. ;-)

[troubleinwinter]

230. "cruel"?

"How could whatever it is ever live up to what I want"?

Please. The original post has requested that we be at the ready to support and disseminate the information.

No promises were made to "live up to" what you want. This is not a game.

[pazarus]

241. ok it's not cruel...

i just know from reading above I've seen at least five different 'wish list' stories... i just mean to say that it's sad to hear so many exciting possibilities when the actual story could be (relatively) mundane.

I know, I know, it's gonna be good... but people here are talking impeachment-good!

[KaliTracy]

285. um OP mentions in post #8 she doesn't think it will be impeachable

Not sure who else is talking about impeachment since she's the one who has the information...

[cupcake]

222. Is this the break we've been waiting for?

I sure hope so, I've been depressed ever since the nightmare in November and it would be nice to win one for a change. If this is really big, can't we get it on 60 minutes or something? Oh well, I'll just hope for the best!

[Extend a Hand]

236. me too

I keep hoping everyday that something will bring these criminals down before they do any more damage.

249. Here is a fast one...my new puppy. I'll look for something more

entertaining.

[Scout1071]

253. Wow that lil' guy is sooooo cute.

Here's mine - Senator Spike Boxer:

[MelissaB]

255. He is beautiful!

I love the name.

[bush_is_wacko]

265. Sorry I'm a computer dummy, no scanner. Picture two Italian Greyhounds...

One Tan w. whit markings (Irish, if you know what that means) and one solid. They are 11 and 7. Mother and son. Hyper as hell and think they are cats. Still catching squirrels to this day! I wish they would settle the hell down though. They may be tiny but all that muscle hurts like hell when it slams into going full speed! I bet your boxer does some damage when s/he gets going!

[bush_is_wacko]

254. Awwwwww! What a cutie pie! I LOVE puppy breath! n/t

[MelissaB]

257. Me, too. I just can't resist it. :)

[monarch]

256. Tell us more about the puppy

Absolutely adorable!

[MelissaB]

264. In a moment of insanity

I picked the kids up from school and we decided to drive by the animal shelter to "just look." Right! I could have taken 20 dogs/puppies home with me.

Her name is Sadie and she is a complete mut from what I can tell. She joined Steinway, my other pound dog who is 3.

[sickinohio]

261. Sooooo Cute!!

[BrklynLiberal]

266. Adorable Puppy's name????

[MelissaB]

278. Sadie

I don't know why???? It just seemed to fit.

[BrklynLiberal]

320. She is absolutely adorable...

239. I love waiting for Big News.

This isn't going to be like the "Big News" that Kerry was filing a complaint with the state of Ohio, is it?

Sheesh, what a let-down that story ended up being.

Best of luck to y'all!

258. Must be big..

All the ducks in a row first

[FreedomAngel82]

259. I heard about this

and am very curious. You can't give out any other detailed information? I'm wondering what it is. In my nature as a person I'm curious whenever anybody tells me "I know something you don't know" so of course I'll be looking. Don't worry, I'm sure us here at DU won't let it die. :) Maybe we can have a massive media campaign or something.

[ima_sinnic]

260. what happened to "headline at 5:00"?

I've been lurking in and out of this thread for hours now, and checking RawStory every so often

[Sperk]

263. wondering the same thing.....one hour 'til story breaks? or has that

been delayed too, anyone know?

269. Enough Already... I'm HIDING This Thread.

You have a cute dog, too. Have a little patience. You must with such a cutie.

SECRET SERVICE RECORDS RAISE QUESTIONS ABOUT GANNON'S ACCESS
TO WHITE HOUSE... DEVELOPING...

[dutchdemocrat]

290. Slaughter and Conyers FOIA filing

I'd say the data is coming from Slaughter and Conyers FOIA filing. It seems John has a tight line to her with a number of direct quotes in the past.

<SNIP>
Congresswoman Louise Slaughter (D-NY) and Congressman John Conyers (D-MI) had previously filed a Freedom of Information Act request with the Department for all files related to the credentialing of a former White House correspondent and prostitute who was accused of having access to classified information, and has since faced accusations of plagiarism.

In essence, the Department responded that, "a search for files responsive to requests is being conducted. When the results of the search are known, will be notified."

Slaughter said she was gratified at the response, but dissatisfied with what she says is Bush's attempts to "stonewall" Congress.

So far this huge breaking news story, doesnt seme to be too much.

306. Is this it?

SECRET SERVICE RECORDS RAISE QUESTIONS ABOUT GANNON'S ACCESS
TO WHITE HOUSE

[jtb33]

325. Hmmm a bit anti-climactic if you ask me...

[patricia92243]

335. lol A bit anti-climatic- that's the understatement of the day :)

[brettdale]

331. Secret service raises questions about Gannon's Access to White House

Well I wouldnt call this a big breaking news story unless something huge becomes of it, Im getting the feeling this wont amount to anything. Or am I being too negative??

I try to click on this at the rawstory webpage and all there is, is a headline and no story???

[ocean girl]

307. Damn - now I can't make dinner

Will have to settle for mac and cheese (homemade) after 7:00.

Thanks, rawstory, for all you do!

[cry baby]

310. 15 minutes...I'm excited! nt

[lala_rawraw]

311. Wait... do i need to start a new thread?

Because this is about getting it out, not us discussing it. Okay, so we are clear?


Just a tid bit, sometimes someone checks in, but never checks out:D

Why?

[Hissyspit]

313. Someone has started new thread with the Raw headline. It is already on

Greatest Page.

[lala_rawraw]

329. But they missed my request....

The whole reason, it was missed. I am very upset because the new thread lists nothing of what I requested from DUers, namely to be the new delivery of news, bypassing the media, but especially for this story that is slotted to be buried.

[brainshrub]

314. That last sentence is from a Raid commercial.

Delay & Gannon?

Oh boy, another round of wrinkle threads!

[paineinthearse]

312. 15 minutes?

315. Will the article on LBN or GD?

I'm excited about this, and am counting down til 6:00 here in the midwest. Would that be the right time? Thanks for making my day.
