:rofl:

[Raven]

17. Red Herring! Red Herring! Red Herring!!!

Sampson is the master of the red herring...check out the meaning of "red herring" it really applies here!

[liberalnurse]

Okay, I feel nice today....

The phrase red herring has a number of specific metaphorical meanings, all sharing a general concept: something being a diversion or distraction from the original objective. These include:

a type of logical fallacy in which one purports to prove one's point by means of irrelevant arguments (see Ignoratio elenchi).
in literature, a plot device intended to distract the reader from a more important event in the plot, usually a twist ending. Most often, a red herring takes the form of a character.
in detective work, mystery fiction, and puzzle-solving, a trick which leads investigators, readers, or solvers towards an incorrect solution.

[Raven]

Exactly! God, you're good...and fast! n/t

[Robbien]

71. He gave up Gonzo

Which I expect BushCo expects it had to do all along.

But Gonzo going doesn't change the fact that the Just Us system is for GOPers only.

So, yes I believe Sampson is a red herring.

[quiet.american]

18. Thank you! She's bringing up that in 25 years only two US attorneys have been fired.

And NOT on the same day. This is not business as usual.

[orleans]

19. difi: "so everyone was agreed to proceed" & kyle nods head n/t

[SaveAmerica]

31. I thought she should have let him answer that completely before

she went on.

[orleans]

132. yes, so it is on the record n/t

[ShortnFiery]

33. I don't remember any dissent ... I don't remember specifically if that

was agreed upon.

Worthless ... he doesn't remember!

But leaving the meeting he had a list. (oh boy!)

[whistle]

[Trouser Trout]

36. Sampson......Keeper of the List

He actually said he remembered some things ! Sen. Feinstein keeping his feet to the fire !

[Solly Mack]

37. I had a list. it was a secret list and no one ever saw it but I don't recall

my list and I don't have my list anymore and I can't recollect where my list is and I don't remember who all saw it but Gonzales didn't see my list until it was the final list and he would never sign off on any list that was a bad list.

Please love me.

[HCE SuiGeneris]

45. Feinstein has him all bamboozled

He can barely speak

[displacedtexan]

65. And it was Harriet Miers' fault anyway.

Notice how Harriet's name gets stuck in there where Gonzales or Rove
should be the answer?

[Solly Mack]

70. Yep...

[rodeodance]

38. Diane is reminding him that firing 8 at ONE time is UNusual!

[spanone]

72. She spanked him. He was wriggling all around in his chair.

she asked him who approved the freakin' LIST. and he wouldn't give it up and she grilled his ass til he said that he 'showed' it to gonzales who approved it. she was tough.

[SharonRB]

39. Oooh, the gap in e-mails

[rodeodance]

51. oh oh----------SESSIONS is UP

[ShortnFiery]

63. "Lack of comprehension around the Attorney General and inexperience

of The Attorney General Himself" ... Is Gonzo going to fall on his sword?

[rodeodance]

54. hey Session---keep your cool!!

[Solly Mack]

56. Sessions to the rescue....while his fellow handler, Hatch, gets ready

for more

[SaveAmerica]

57. How do they decide how much time each Senator gets to speak?

Kennedy didn't speak long at all, it seemed and Spector and Sessions seem to get a longer amount of time. Or maybe they're just more boring?

[spanone]

60. Does that stupid ass jeff sessions really think we buy that dumbass cracker shit.

i'm from the south and offended.

[IChing]

61. Sessions (R) up now troubled why can't tell the truth and the 5th

[Cameron27]

62. Sessions

I do think there was some lack of comprehension in the team around the AG and the AG himself.

Of course WH can replace a USA. And technically he can, but there's more to it than that. That's part of it.

I'm trouble by a high DOJ official (taking the 5th)

[quiet.american]

64. "Defense attorney" Sessions doing his Matlock impression. n/t

[ShortnFiery]

73. Awe "A series of mis-judgements"? - Dog ate their homework and 18 days of emails? n/t

[BuyingThyme]

75. Sounds like somebody slipped him a mickey.

[Chimichurri]

He's hemmin' and hauin' - maybe his constiguents contacted him during the break and he's lessened his support somewhat.

[Breeze54]

69. Sampson - Trapped Like A Rat!

http://jacketmagazine.com.nyud.net:8090/11/px/rat-trap.jpg

[IChing]

74. Sessions defending Rove saying it wasn't political

[Jack Rabbit]

81. You cannot say "Rove was involved" and "It wasn't political" in the same breath

It's self-contradictory.

[chefgirl]

76. Why keep trying to spin?

He's already in it up to his eyeballs by testifying, so why keep trying to bullshit people??

C'mon Kyle, let fly! Might as well take 'em down now.

He strikes me as quite the box of rocks, though, frankly.

-chef-

[Democrat 4 Ever]

82. Ya notice that Sessions is filibustering his time. He doesn't DARE ask

a question so he is just running his time out making silly, lame, inaccurate statements.

Sessions is a tool.

[Trouser Trout]

86. Sessions is such a little shit. n/t

[orleans]

83. I just called durbin's office

and pleeded with the girl to pass a message on to a staffer

since there was a "hiatis" in emails, (difi mentioned) durbin should inquire about them using email on the RNC SERVER

[LSK]

88. you didnt talk to Sandra by any chance did you?

[orleans]

101. i don't know. i didn't talk to a staffer--the girl i spoke to was just

answering phones

she said she is sure they already know about this

i said PLEASEEEE mention this to a staffer, because i called yesterday and ended up speaking with a staffer, telling her about this "operation bite" crap that supposedly we're going to hit iran on good friday--she googled it with me and said they hadn't heard about this.

[quiet.american]

90. Alright, I'm taking a break. Sessions is so lame. n/t

White House Impatient With Gonzales?

March 29, 2007

ABC News' Jonathan Karl Reports: The White House is getting increasingly impatient with Attorney General Alberto Gonzales.

Officials are frustrated that Gonzales is taking so long to get up to Capitol Hill to attempt damage control on last year's controversial firing of eight U.S. attorneys.

...

With today's Senate Judiciary Committee testimony of his former chief of staff, Kyle Sampson, contradicting Gonzales’ statements on the matter, the White House believes there is renewed urgency for Gonzales to get out there and explained what happened.

The White House does not want Gonzales to wait until his scheduled testimony on April 17th to clarify the record. Even the White House’s Deputy Press Secretary, Dana Perino, sounded a little frustrated at today's briefing, observing, "Three weeks is a long time."

[IChing]

85. Sessions going over Lamm on fireirons and immigration prosecutions

"Operation safe neighborhood "not being done in california by the attorney
but why did you defend her at that time when complaints coming in.

Attacking the Dist. Attorney in California

[rodeodance]

92. he started off ok---then ended with his dung!

[Raven]

93. Didn't she write letters to DoJ for more help? n/t

[rodeodance]

Posted by xultar on Thu Mar-29-07 02:10 PM

with the Sampson meeting was beyond SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWEEEEET!

Please. If you ever decide to fuckup like that again let us know so we can order balloons and cake for the party.

Again...you sooo busted yourself, Gonzo and BushCo. Is it your intention to call more attention to Gonzo so he has to gut himself on the alter of ignorance and stupidity to save Lil Boots? Ohhh please let it be so. But do it on Good Friday so I can dance around nekkid in my bedroom till sweat drips from my body.

Thank you.

[Solly Mack]

91. :::spraying Sessions repellent:::::

[Ghost in the Machine]

133. heh!

[BuyingThyme]

95. Boy, Jeff is sure slowing this thread down.

[ShortnFiery]

97. He's basically testifying for Samson and making quips. Boring and irrelevant.

Got in one tangent to snipe about the lack of Gun Violation Arrests By Lam. Too funny, I thought right wingers don't want hyper-focus on such violations. :shrug: Just bunk.

[K8-EEE]

96. could this guy look any more like Porky Pig?

Seriously.....he and Rove look like they came from the same litter or something!

[juno jones]

127. Both from same factory...

...the world's largest producer of doughy white men...

[IChing]

98. Where is Russ today?

anyone know?

[Lasher]

99. Cardin is trying to nail him down

Tough job, it's like trying to catch a greased pig.

[AndyA]

100. Sampson: "I don't remember. I don't recall..."

A person in his capacity SHOULD be able to remember better than this!

He's lying, or he should have been fired a long time ago. A good memory is a requirement in his field.

And how UNIMPRESSIVE is this guy? How typical of a "Loyal Bushie". :eyes:

[Cameron27]

102. Who was there promoting that he remain on the list?

How many of the recs you made were turned down by the AG?

I don't remember.

Are you responsible for the list going to the AG?

Were there any names on the list that wasn't put on the list?

It wasn't like that, I was the aggregator.

[Fresh_Start]

103. How did Sampson aggregate information but not

produce any documents which had aggregated information?

[BuyingThyme]

104. He must have a great memory.

[ljm2002]

131. Except that he doesn't have a great memory...

...as he has illustrated for us today.

:-)

[Buttercup McToots]

105. How?

How did they get him to commite sucide?

[Solly Mack]

106. Etch a Sketch?

[spanone]

107. Lying like a rug. He said he put the list together and only 'told' AG about it.

bullshit. he didn't hand or email or fax or type out the list? bullshit.

[vanboggie]

108. Ask him about DOJ replacements and 2008 setup

Did any Senator ask why 9 of the replacements are in one of the 11 states identified by Rove as pivotal in the 2008 Prez election? They're setting us up again - nail this minion on it pleeeeeaaaaazzzz!

[annabanana]

113. Will resume at 4:10 (new thread?)

[orleans]

109. kyle "resigned" ?? really....n/t

[ShortnFiery]

112. Good he resigned. I wouldn't trust him to manage our local Subway Shop.

:crazy: INCOMPETENT young crony. Crony! Crony!

[Lasher]

110. So Sampson was like a clerk who kept a list of names that neither he nor anyone else submitted?

That dog don't hunt.

[annabanana]

115. (but it might not have been written down.. might have been conversations

[ShortnFiery]

118. Too bad we can't charge him for being a dumba**

:grr:

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

124. This is what I was going to say and so far he has not been pressed for the names of the people who

wanted the names on the list.

[Jacobin]

130. Immaculate inscription

really, its a miracle. call the Pope

[IChing]

111. New thread maybe? anyone?

[IChing]

123. How long is the break? 1 hour?

[orleans]

114. POTTY BREAK

[joshcryer]

119. Heh, did you see how quick he flew out of there?

It was like he was shitting himself.

[Eurobabe]

128. Rally stripes no doubt.

:rofl:

[Cameron27]

116. A break then Whitehouse.

I can't wait for Whitehouse!

[Blackhatjack]

117. Bottom line is he made up the list, and he will not tell who ordered the names on it....

Anyone with any sense knows that the list that went to Gonzales to approve for firing had the imput and approval of the White House.

[GeorgeGist]

120. He's the aggregator!

[quiet.american]

121. Schumer says there will be a third round -- and his will be longer. n/t

[Breeze54]

122. Thread 11 started.

Mod? please lock, I guess! :P

[Javaman]

125. linkie? nt

[orleans]

126. hearing replayed on cspan at 8 eastern tonight

(so i'll have to watch olbermann on the rerun!)

[Raven]

129. Isn't this a pathetic picture of our govenrment! This little wimp

has now been backed down to where he is saying "I just kept the list" in other words, no one is responsible. This is our department of justice and we all better be afraid. There are some other incidents in history where someone "just kept the list"...didn't pull the trigger, I guess we all know what those incidents were. You know, this worthless little shit might just bring the government down if he keeps talking...if I were one of these Senators, I'd just let this guy talk!

[LaurenG]

134. Locking
