Watch this.

Nobody I know, including American Lefties, has a clue who, what, when, or where is going on with a Libby trial or Libby pardon or anything.

But if you ask people at work about illegal immigration, boom, then you automatically get a response.

Even Lefties have an opinion on this subject, and the ones I know, hate Bush for pushing amnesty legislation.

Bush is afraid of going out in public? What about his base that he ridiculed and mocked recently? Is he afraid of his base?

Go to a mall, AP, and ask the first twelve adults you see: “Who is Scooter Libby?” If even half of them answer, “He’s the former chief of staff to the vice president,” I’ll buy you an iPhone.

People are either too proud or too stupid to say to a pollster, “I’m sorry, but I can’t answer that question; I don’t know enough to answer it.”

Is it not heartache enough for us to know that the votes of the unlettered carry a weight equal to our own? Must you also assault us with the vacuity of their minds?

When next you want a thoughtful opinion on a complex topic, ask a lively dog.

Poll: 64% of all adults disapprove of commutation of Libby’s sentence

What was the percentage among intelligent, attentive, thoughtful adults?

What better way to have a goodly number of Americans, especially the BDS afflicted among us, on the edge of their seats waiting to see that 1) there really aren’t any grounds for impeachment should congress actually proceed with impeachment or 2) see what wimps and pompous asses our Congress is made of if they do not.

Without an actual impeachment, many people will continue to hold the belief that Bush has committed impeachable offenses, which of course he has not. It could only hurt the Dems, I think, for the “truth” to be presented in an impeachment hearing.

Meanwhile, Congress completely shuts down in preparation for impeachment – no fairness doctrine, no reconquista reform, no puttin’ the screws to the man. Democrats got elected just for this, why would they not drop everything else like lava balls to please their constituents? Some Congresspeople’s usfulness would plum run out in the time it would take to go through an impeachment. Best, it would be prime time for Bush to speak unfiltered to the “charges” in front of those most interested in seeing him go down in flames.

Because they understand that no crime was committed because the law designates that an agent must be covert. Plame was not.

Armitage would have been tried if leaking a non-covert agent;s name were a crime.

He wasn’t. It isn’t.

Libby was convicted because he has a funny nickname.

If it had been “Norm” Libby or “Joe” Libby, he’d never have been tried.

Because the goofy-leaning media wouldn’t have paid any attention to a Norm or Joe, and would not have given Democrats the schmmozeofest, silly talking points and fulsome airtime to giggle over “Scooter” this and “Scooter” that.

It was a PR bonanza for the salivating far-left.

(Libby also had lawyers who sucked.)

It’s unfortunate that Democrats don’t believe in this kind of system of justice, and have to resort to extraodinary measures to take the law into their own hands. We’ve got laws for a reason, and the Democrat Party refuses to accept that.

There was a crime, it was committed by Libby. Oh, and Libby did leak to Matt Cooper.

WHat exactly was the leaked information?

The remaining undecided .00001% is a list of people so small, we can list them here:
1. George H.W. Bush
2. Barbara Bush
3. Lora Bush

They can’t accept that their views aren’t held by a majority of Americans.

Fitzgerald didn’t “create” a crime. Libby created it when he lied and obstructed justice. “Underlying crime” is a bunch of BS. There was a crime, it was committed by Libby. Oh, and Libby did leak to Matt Cooper.

In today’s poll, ARG found 11% that want a pardon… which means you can take that 11% pretty much from the 64%, making it 53% and adding it to the 31% who approve of the commutation, making it 42%. So it’s more like 53/42 oppose/approve.

That’s the most pathetic attempt at spinning a poll I’ve ever seen, literally. Everyone who answered that poll in the affirmative when asking if they supported Bush granting a pardon obviously also answered in the affirmative when the pollster asked if they approved of Bush commuting Libby’s term. If you’re going to spin something, you’re going to have to try harder than that.

It amazes me how many people think that Libby was the leaker and how he’d enevitably lead to Cheney (and then to Bush).

What’s even more troublesome is that some members of the jury had some similar thoughts, particularly with regard to everything leading to Cheney … even though they had instructions to the contrary. Guess the judge didn’t really mean it.

But that’s what the MSM has presented to the public. They aren’t reporting, they are forming opinion – their way.

Precisely. I love it when both sides do as little as possible.
