Why isn't Gonzales in jail already?

The rest of the article is more important than Janet's Raspberry, but it is indeed priceless.

S of D.
You are wrong about Goldsmith's motives:
"Goldsmith says he is not speaking out for the money; though he received a low six-figure advance for the book, he is, after deducting some minor expenses, donating the advance and any profits to charity."

He (and Philbin and Comey and Ashcroft) are as close to patriots as is likely to come out of the Bush Administration.

Though he is clearly conservative and antagonistic to civil liberties on many fronts (and hence not an "unblemished hero"), his motivation here is not "Cashing in".

Well, SeeDee (aka S of D?; Son of Defarge?)...how, exactly, do YOU pretend to know with certainty? A bit transparent, aren't we?

don't you know SeeDee you are dealing with the great Drational? the great Greg Palast-bashing egg-on-face foot-stomping drational, who simply knows everything and is an analyst of such incredible acuity that they can literally stare into a person's soul and divine their every intention. That's how, and don't you forget it.

Drational is as close to a Napoleon as has emerged from the festering soup of DKos, but ah well, the genuine progressives never hung out there anyway, we are not stupid enough to think the Democrats are any better (or ever will be) than Republican lite (see, uh, the evidence, for confirmation of this)

security word - wind - as in Drational, bag of.

SeeDee;
You are correct that I cannot establish his motives with certainty. Goldsmith told Rosen the he would not profit from his book. I understand that he may be lying, but I took the article at face value. In contrast, S of D appears not to have read the article upon which he or she commented.

can someone please tell me why andy card continues to enjoy a reputation as one of the 'honorable' bushies and a favorite of the national political press corps. there's never any hint of the scumbaggery he has enthusiastically participated in... curious, no?

Jason:
I've been wrong before, and I'll be wrong again. My post above was in response to an assertion that Goldsmith was profiting. When challenged about my evidence, I responded. If you know me from my posts as you claim to, you would know that I respond to criticisms and admit when I am wrong.

You seem pretty sore about the Palast issue. I was certainly tactless in challenging him on dKos, and for lack of tact I apologized. However, regarding the substance of how Palast was wrong, I'll refer you to this article at ePluribusmedia:
http://www.epluribusmedia.org/features/2007/20070704_palast_progressives_journalism.html

As to me being a bag of wind, I will concur. The whole Palast fracas on dKos did nothing to prevent dKossers from reccing up the "Attack Iran. bigtime" diary by maccabee this past weekend. I will keep blowing though, so feel free to attack me when you feel it necessary.

drational, unless you provide evidence or proof, the least I can say is you cannot prove that he's not profitting from the book.

However, I doubt anyone can say he's profitting all that much from the book. Personally, you need to write a LOT of books to profit from them, because the publisher usually takes a lot of the money.

Theere's only two things I can about this: He's profiting little for this book, or he's not profitting much from this book. That's the only reasonable answer I can come up with.

Shame on Mrs. Ashcroft for sticking out her tongue.

She should have tackled their sedentary asses and hacked their balls off with her sewing scissors.

While I am grateful that Comey, Goldsmith, and others are now speaking the truth about what happened in the battle over the TSP, I would have respect for them if they had revealed the truth sooner after the events.

I understand the whole divided loyalty thing (though not to this particular Administration and party), but if, indeed, these are men for whom the law and the ethical behavior it requires are supreme, they could either have come forward as whistle blowers or as "Deep Throats." They didn't.

If Comey had not been called to testify in front of the Judicial Committee, would he ever have revealed the truth?

Perhaps this Administration is just as frightening to its onetime supporters as it is to those of us looking on in horror from the outside. But maybe their fear comes from a more Mafia-informer kind of place. Maybe only now these men don't have to fear for their and their families' safety.

I wish they could tell us the WHOLE truth.

Sick. Just plain sick.
