YO: I saw the AP headline online about the D.C. Court of Appeals ruling against Libby this morning. I immediately went to surfing the cable news channels and heard not a word of it. I continued to surf to see when they would begin say something about what seemed to me to be a significant judicial news event.
Then, when Bush released the commutation paper on Scoooter, the cable people were all over THAT story with it up front and beyond the fact that the ruling had come down EARLIER.
Did anyone else who surfs here see otherwise? Because I didn't, and thought it strange that the story was up NOT on cable talk and ONLY on web site headlines. Being skeptical, however, I thought I might just be imagining things since there's so much Bushspeak at large; the latest being his remark in today's Libby statement that government can't operate without truth. Orwellingly, yip, Yurz.
Yes, George, and plants don't need water, either. OY!!!
