Holy shit. Don't disappear, Scottie.

Okay, so, following the administration's logic here: If Bush authorized it then, by definition, it can't be illegal, right? So why keep it secret?

A link to newscloud.com posted by the co-founder of NewsCloud? Why oh why couldn't you just link directly to the TPM page?

Can McClellan PROVE anything he's saying or writing? Because if he can't, it's just noise now.

Huh. Junior's got balls. I was sure that one was Cheney.

If we still had anything resembling a functional system of checks and balances, this would be huge. As it is, the non-prosecution of this high crime can only enhance the imperial aura of this presidency.

Here's what we're gonna hear: The President can declassify whatever he wants. He's the President, afterall, and he can even decide to skip the standard declassification process if he wants.

If anybody wants to stop him from doing so, they can take it up with the courts.

The point kind of blows right past Meredith. Where's Jon Stewart when you need him...

Look at those sideburns! Get a haircut, hippie!

I guess Bush has to fire himself.

Heh. It positively couldn't be that he's looking at a paycheck. A kiss ass robot of the administration and a known digger and mouthpiece would never exaggerate for personal gain, eh?

And the post is about treason. Heh. You'll rue the day you crossed us, Trebek.

Well, they tried self-linking to newscloud explicitly before and were called out about it. I guess this is SEO Spam 2.0?
posted by Gary at 10:37 AM on May 29, 2008


Oh, I get it. We don't see the newscloud frame when we click, but search bots think it's pointing at newscloud content and drives traffic there. Right?

For shame!

Pity this is going to get torched; it's important news.

Obligatory: Surely this...

I haven't checked CNN.com, but I assume impeachment hearings are already well under way. Right?

Are we talking about McClellan or Bush?
