When love comes so strong, there is no right or wrong. Tiny and Tuck out in the kitchen together dancing meep to meep in the pre-dinner hour this afternoon.
"I assume [MSNBC BDS sufferers] David Shuster, Chris Matthews, and Keith Olbermann are incoherent with glee (the 'incoherent' is a safe bet in most scenarios)," writes Tom Maguire of Scooter Libby Trial Central [Just One Minute] re the verdict announced at noon today -- guilty on four of five counts of perjury, making false statements and obstruction of justice. Two things about the outcome made our blood boil.
He loves, and she loves, and they love, so darling . . .
1. We had the same horror as Maguire at the thought of the left's glee upon learning the outcome of this latest politicization of our justice system, and we froze in primal fear when we heard these words from one of the jurors (who turns out to be a journalist and author who has written for the WaPo, Fox News reports):
Denis Collins said that "a number of times" they asked themselves, "what is HE doing here? Where is Rove and all these other guys . . . I'm not saying we didn't think Mr. Libby was guilty of the things we found him guilty of. It seemed like he was, as Mr. Wells [his lawyer] put it, he was the fall guy."
A many-splendored thing can happen at any time.
"Sound like an agenda juror?" asks John Gibson rhetorically, noting the irony of Sandy "We were all laughing about it" Berger's getting off scot free despite removing sensitive documents from the National Archives inside his socks in preparation for his testimony to the 9/11 Commission even as Scooter Libby could face up to 25 years behind bars (Judge Napolitano says he'll never go to jail). But back to the first of our two points. A liberal's glee at the perceived confirmation of his agenda is an ugly thing to watch. It happened to us personally at the conclusion of our first jury trial years ago, a petty thievery of foodstuffs from an East Boston MacDonald's. We had been appointed by the judge as foreman and watched in disgust as the defense played to the bleeding hearts among us by casting his ne'er-do-well Eastie client as a poor schmuck just trying to help a friend -- no questions asked -- by carrying stolen goods out to the getaway car in the wee hours of the morning. Sure enough, the bleeding hearts prevailed -- their argument was something about how sad it would be to be responsible for putting another human being in jail -- and we ended with a hung jury. Arrrgh! Leaving the courtroom with a cloud of gloom hanging over our head, we caught a glimpse of one of our fellow jurers in full glee mode, running to telephone her husband that "we" won.
All cats all the time. Baby and Tiny apply the Think System to get the cat food into the bowls.
2. "Just a reminder that the Libby conviction doesn't vindicate Joe Wilson," writes Glenn Reynolds. Ain't it the truth. We had Joe Wilson's number way back when, but as Dr. Sanity writes today:
When the left realizes it is in a losing position, it simply backs off until it is opportune to revive the argument. And then they start back at the same points which were countered and try again, this time with more passion and outrage.
This very day we've caught Democrat operatives on cable reengaging in the the big lie that Joe Wilson didn't lie. As we wrote in the good doctor's comments, "Lord -- and Dr. Sanity -- give me strength."
Have we arrived in a Nazi world run by arrogant liberals? If we have it may be time for a an uprising before they kill us if we object to their agenda.

it is such a tragedy...
how in the world could any lawyer allow their (Bush Administration Official) Client to be judged by a WAPO Reporter?
if you are a Republican, you are now a criminal.
Tim Russert led the way...
Christmas for he and his partisan Democrat friends.
Meanwhile, there are monstrous Radical Terrorists trying to kill Americans around the world.

The pics of human/kitty love just made me go AWWWW! Tiny/Tuck - expressing their deep affection. Bet it was early morning. My Tim stands on my lap in the early mornings when I'm drinking my first, much-needed cup of coffee and me bumps the top of his head to my chin and purrs his little heart out, with me melting into a puddle of love! Sam finds the entire display annoying.
As to the MSM - Larry King made a POINT of asking last night (before I could reduce the sound on my solitaire game) - "Well when do you suppose they'll be indicting Karl Rove?" of something or other! They just don't give up, do they.
I think we should declare "Bitch Slap a Liberal Month" and make it soon!
