Senator Bond thinks the NY Times is guilty of a felony!!

[proud2BlibKansan]

Heard it on local news here in KC. Sorry can't find a link. Bond said it was okay for dubya to spy on Americans but leaking this secret info was a felony and should be punished!

WTF is WRONG with this logic?

[hatrack]

1. Senator Bond is a whiskey-scented shitstain on the sole of my boot

Who gives a tin shit what this assclown thinks?

Go have another fifth, Kit, and STFU.

[proud2BlibKansan]

7. Hatrack how ya doin?

You know Bond used to have a house on 59th St. Not far from where you live (close to me too). We used to laugh about going trick or treating there when I was in high school. Too bad we never had the nerve. I have the nerve now. LOL

[hatrack]

11. I'm doing well - thanks! Getting more and more pissed off each day . . .

But other than that, super. :toast:

Whassup with you?

[proud2BlibKansan]

17. 2 week vacation!

So I am super :bounce:

Hey we are all going to Jazz on Jan 6 to hear mopaul's band. Why don't you and your lovely wife join us?

[Lerkfish]

16. wow. you're actually kinder to him than I would have been.

I actually shook hands with the asswipe when he was running for governor in '78. He came to our campus (Mizzou) and stood at our memorial hall with a microphone and said how he'd protect the university budgets. This was roughly one week before election. The first thing he did after the election was to cut university budgets by 6%. And that was back before scotch-induced alzheimers had struck.

[proud2BlibKansan]

19. He was a (sort of) friend of my dad's

and my dad who was a life long Dem really liked him. So I have met him a bunch of times. Out of respect to my father, whom Bond did admire, I will be polite to him.

But I still think he's a skanky politician. Sorry, Dad.

[Lerkfish]

25. oh, sorry if I offended.

[proud2BlibKansan]

32. oh gawd no I can't stomach the guy

My dad and I had MANY arguments about him. My dad was just more tolerant than I am I guess.

[GreenPartyVoter]

2. He must want to see Valerie and Joe Wilson in jail too. Gotta love that

blame the whistleblower attitude. :eyes:

[proud2BlibKansan]

10. Gee isn't there a whistleblower in the White House?

Huh Kit? If the NY Times is guilty of treason then surely the person who disclosed Plame's identity is as well.

[Jim__]

3. Leaking the secret may be a felony on the part of the leaker.

It is NOT a crime for a newspaper to print the leaked secret.

[Clark2008]

6. You're correct.

The First Amendment guarantees the newspaper to report the leaked information regarding the pResident's wiping his ass of the Fourth Amendment.

[Just Me]

39. Yup! LMAO!!!

:rofl:

However, is it a crime to conspire/cooperate in the suppression/cover-up of a felony?

[kevinbgoode]

4. Bond is evidently a fascist who is shocked

that anyone could possibly be outraged when the christo-fascist party is fighting terra by systematically removing the U.S. Constitution.

[proud2BlibKansan]

13. He's a fascist alright

[texpatriot2004]

5. Another Rethug who thinks transparency is a problem...leave

the country then why don't you!

[proud2BlibKansan]

14. We just want him to stay out of Missouri

[soothsayer]

8. black is white, up is down---business as usual for this crowd

[jbnow]

9. If there is a crime

it would be the leakers, not who published it.

Plame reporters weren't threatened with jail for publishing but for being in contempt pf court after appeals said they had to testify.

Despite what bush says here it's questionable how this endangered our security. All that they revealed was that some searches/taps were done without warrants. What difference does that make unless if someone was arrested due to it they'd have reason to question legality.

This is more like whistle blower, leakers revealing a crime. Not that bush administration has offered whistle blowers legal protection they are due, but that's another story.

[proud2BlibKansan]

20. Well they sure are protecting the whistleblower

who ruined Valerie Plame's career.

[jbnow]

28. Plame leakers

don't qualify as whistleblowers. Thus in the reverse logic of bushworld, of course they'd protect them.

[Toots]

12. I 'm sure Novak is in complete agreement with him

:crazy:

[proud2BlibKansan]

21. Probably so

LOL

[Catrina]

15. He's just parroting the Republican talking point

That's how we'll be able to recognize those who are complicit in the treasonous act of subverting the US Constitution. They will claim that anyone brave enough to inform the American people that the Constitution is under attack is a 'criminal'. Bush has already said so, Rush et al. These people never speak from the heart. They wait for the propaganda machine to send them the memo, then they all say the same thing.

It'll be fun figuring out just who is on board to 'destroy our freedoms'. I'll be making a list and checking who is using the 'it was a criminal act to tell the truth' talking point.

18. He's almost right - it should be a felony to have such news & not report

it - particularly right before an election.

[proud2BlibKansan]

22. My thoughts exactly

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

23. That's what I think too

I think they influenced the election by NOT reporting what they knew. They were also a big part of acting as stenographer for Bush to get us into Iraq. A lot of death and destruction can be laid right at their door.It has always been a ritual of mine for years to buy and read the NYT on Sunday. I don't think I can in good conscious buy or support them any longer. I feel bad because they have one of the greatest group of writers asembled anywhere.

It's pretty hard to make the far right and the far left and everyone in between hate you at the same time. Their top management needs to step down en mass. That is the ONLY thing that could save the NYT.

[SillyGoose]

24. Has he expressed similar sentiments regarding the WH officials

who leaked Plame's identity and who blew the cover off CIA front company, Brewster Jennings?

The hypocrisy of these people is astounding.

[evlbstrd]

26. Didn't he say that W has the authority under the Constitution

to spy on citizens?
I wish he'd help me out on that, because I have a copy of it right here, and I can't find any such authority.

[proud2BlibKansan]

34. yep that's what the bubble headed bleached blonde on channel 5 said

Kit must have a different constitution than the rest of us. LOL

[evlbstrd]

35. I heard it on NPR this morning.

It's hard to believe that bonehead actually served as a US Sentator.

[proud2BlibKansan]

36. And a governor

[evlbstrd]

38. Shit, I forgot about that.

I think I was overseas at the time. Thank gawd.
Makes me proud to be a Mizzourah-an.

[proud2BlibKansan]

40. It's MizzourEEan

Asscroft says Missourah. The rest of us say MissourEE.

[evlbstrd]

41. I know.

You, me and Walt Bodine. I always hated the -ah pronunciation.

[catmandu57]

27. That monkey lovin whiskey drunk

has been on the wrong side of many votes lately. Lopsided bipartison votes at that, he and that notalent hack both need to be gone yesterday.
Both of them are an embarrassment to the people of this state.

[flyarm]

29. please take the time to write letters to the editor in kc!! seems

kit bond needs a lesson in the constitution!!

37. It wasn't in The Star

it was on kctv5.

[rosesaylavee]

30. Oh, leaking secret info IS wrong and a felony?

Rove, Libby, Cheney, you hearing this?

[tishaLA]

31. "Senator Bond thinks"....three words

You never thought you'd see together.

[Skidmore]

33. I've heard several commentators and freeper callers in the last 24 hours

say that the crime was committed by the person who leaked the story. THis is the new tactic to change the focus away from the actions of * and Cheney.

[AndreaCG]

42. Only if sitting on the truth is a felony

[jmowreader]

43. I think they are too, but my list is different from Bond's

Let's start with conspiring to alter the results of a federal election. The NYT supposedly had this in October last year. Folks, you can't diebold your way out of a 30-point deficit, and if this would have dropped in the days before the election, the final tally would have been 80-20 Kerry. Or worse.

We've also got little piddly shit like conspiring to conceal malfeasance by a federal officer. But the election theft is the big one.

[Dees]

44. Bond is a drunk... plain and simple. Years ago when he was

governor of Missouri I worked for the University of Missouri. He damn near put us out of business financially. He hates state funding to any higher institution of learning and public education in general. Several years during his eight years university employees did not receive pay raises. Stingy stinkin Repuke. He is the reason I went into the private sector and business for myself. Never regretted it for a second. The infamous drunken stories about "Kit" in Jeff City abound. The guy is a bad friggin actor.
