I’d love to see them explain why Jeff Gannon visited Karl Rove’s office like 137 times.

And spent more than one night at the White House.

The ruling is being appealed. Those records won't be public until years from now when all of those pieces of filth are old, addled, and happily rich(er) laughing at 'we the people'

First;and they`ve probably been shredded.

Oh well, better late than never. This ruling is hopefully a small chink in the Bushites' armor. If it makes them sweat, good.

I am curious to see just what Bush was trying to hide by keeping the visitor logs private.

just heard a bird flew into congress today...
hope to find a clip soon...

:)

I wonder if it pooped on anyone...

I'd like to see the visitor logs to Cheney's Office when he was doing the Energy Policy of our Country. I think his Energy Task Force or something was made up of a lot of criminal people like Kenneth Lay and other Oil Barons/Tycoons. Too bad "we the people" can't require our representatives to enforce transparency in our government. Maybe someday soon?

Bush complained a couple of weeks ago that Iran didn't have a very transparent government. Yeah, I had to laugh too, considering his administration hides every damned thing they do.

The corrupt Bush Administration will do what they always do when forced to turn over anything criminal. They destroy it. Microfilm that has a shelf life of hundreds of years was destroyed by the Bush Administration showing he was AWOL during his service. Millions of emails were destroyed by the Bush Administration that showed their criminal activity that makes Nixon look like a saint. The video tapes showing the Bush Administration using torture....whoops, accidentally erased. So why does anyone think this is any different? Bush is immoral, a liar and responsible for the deaths of thousands of innocent lives. Then he of all people in the nation pretends to be moral. "Every life is precious," he once said while sending our troops to their deaths on lies about WMD when he was told different, while he or his kids never served a day in the military. Put the Bush twins in Iraq....whoops the war is all of a sudden over. He has a lot of explaining to do. If not in this life, the next.

Like a federal judge's decision means anything in the face of Caesar. Mildly interesting perhaps, but utterly pointless.

If it turns out that sort of thing happened the GOP will implode.

Gee, what will they do now? Oh, yeah, ignore the rule of law just like they've been doing since 2001, since nobody is going to do anything about it.

Just one more big middle finger to America from the Bush Administration...

Blue Dress My Ass @ 12:

Hey!, isn't that Gannon-Guckert 3rd from left? If so, how many visits and when plus length of stay did he record in the WH ledger?

Then the next question is... Did Bush swallow?

LMAO!!!!

The ruling is a blow to the Bush administration

*snicker*

Ok, so now we'll know beyond a shadow of a doubt that their destruction of the logs is illegal even BEFORE they do it.

I have no faith in this Congress to actually do anything about it. After all, impeachment is "off the table", which is another way of saying, "break the law all you like, George".

We know they will never give them up because that’s how BushCo operates, but I’d love to see them explain why Jeff Gannon visited Karl Rove’s office like 137 times.

Oh, I get it! You're saying Karl Rove is gay!

Bookem Danno @ 26:

Rove had numerous entries on Gannon's log.

Gannons log ;) probably had many entries in rove.

It says plenty that the first reaction of the White House is to hide every possible thing. When given the choice of leaving things out in the open or hiding every little detail, they reflexively go with the latter. The fuckers running things right now are an absolute disgrace.

Time for Bush to ink another signing statement. "National Security is at stake."

Lobbyist pressured to recant story about Abramoff meeting Rove on street corner
Part I of this series explored the long-term involvement of two men -- GOP consultant Bill Canary and Alabama Attorney General William Pryor -- in the events leading to the imprisonment last summer of former Alabama Democratic governor Don Siegelman.

The author of a book on Rove says a lobbyist who witnessed a meeting between Rove and Abramoff was pressured to recant his remarks.

Basically, the country is acting right now like a crowd of bystanders watching a car wreck that has nothing to do with them.

If Bill Clinton did the things Bush&Co have done, he would have been ripped to shreds, ruined forever and DEFINITELY impeached and removed from office. The only difference he didn't have a "new pearl harbor" to scare everybody stupid with

Clinton's New Pearl Harbor was the damage Reagan-Bush Sr did to the U.S. economy. He managed to refloat the ship and get it sailing again for eight years but I don't think we're going to be so lucky this time.

Here's the sequence: White House Visitor logs always public information; enter Jeffy Lube Gannon/Guckert; enter Abramoff multiple times; Abramoff arrested/Bush seals visitor logs (ahem....something to hide Mr. Prez?); Abramoff sitting in prison outing the Bush administration and 90% of the GOP. Any wonder Bush did another CYA move on sealing these records. Let them be open since they are public information and let's get to the bottom of Bush's criminal activities. Better year: Impeach the crim and then do a retrospective court trial based on facts ascertained from the visitor logs.

it's time the American citizens declare this entire bush administration as domestic terrorists and remove them forceably from office to their new undisclosed residences at gitmo. nixon got caught trying to cover up one lie and he was impeached. bush and cheney have lied and covered up multiple crimes...........and still they continue to destroy the constitution, lie to the American people and commit crimes against humanity in iraq.

congress including both dems and repugs have aided and abetted these bastards in the whitehouse to continue these crimes..........ALL involved or aid should be removed and tried for TREASON.

Telling the American People is equivalent to telling the terrorists

Or some other lame excuse.

Because Jeff Gannon is the gay prostitute favorite of the homophobic kinky gay retublicans. There are no conspiracies by the way . . . keep repeating that to yourself.

Jack Abramoff will be on their exposing another w lie.

showing criminal intent by this corrupt white house is considered 'Off-Topic' in a discussion about failure to reveal legal documents?

why the news blackout on impeachment, and why has it been moved off the front page?

Freedom of Information Act:

Ah, yes. We can't forget about Gonzales' shenanigans. He visits Ashcroft while he is from what reports say, in a comatose state and used Ashcroft to eliminate habeas corpus. We have illegal wiretapping on Americans as a result and unscrupulous companies such as Verizon cooperating with the NSA.

As far as Rove, I'm not sure where he fits into this spiel. He used some dirty campaign tactics, but I don't know what he could be charged on, internationally speaking.

Freedom of Informaiton Act:

Oops. Yes, throw Rove into the fray too. Hey, I'm tired and it's Monday. We can't forget about Rove's involvement when he decided to withold thousands of documents for Congressional oversight and basically, given immunity for testifying. Yes, he is another co-conspirator.

I guess that if the Haugue were to adopt the BushCo philosophy of RENDITION, I guess we could see Bush and his government on trial soon after he leaves office. I wonder what the US could say about that. I mean it was good enough for BushCo to use, so why not the Haugue? Hell, it is not just the Haugue who'd want Bush and his co-conspirators, I can think of a couple of countries that may have a claim on them for war crimes.

Everyone (even honest Republicans who truly care for our system of government, if there are any left) must be asking themselves: what are Bush and Cheney trying to hide from us? Why are they spending OUR tax dollars to keep Americans in the dark about who visited them? If they'll fight to hide this kind of innocent information from public view, you really have to wonder what they have been up to for the past 6-7 years. Where there's smoke . . . .
And will the current Democrats in Congress do anything about this? Of course not. They'll talk a lot, make a lot of threats and then they'll turn and run away from Bush and Cheney with their tails between their legs.

In psychology...it's called "transference". Karl Rove has made it an artform.

Also..."projection".

Gannon was there 137 times??? No wonder KKKarl was smiling so much.......he got his job blown.

Will the "Jeff Gannon" sex tapes surface? "Jeff" (a "Total Top" acording to his on-line ads) plowing away as Karl screams FUCK ME LIKE THE WOMAN THAT I AM!!!!!!

Gucky is dead center of that shot. Close ups would reveal a dribble of Karl Rove's cum running down his chin.

And the winner is...........Mudshark...

Wait'll we get to count how many times 'god' stopped by to whisper in the Preposterous Putz's ear.

So how long before these records are also mysteriously, inexplicably, "LOST"?

A hollow victory. It, like all others, will be ignored by this "transparent" government. If not, then you can bet all those logs will have been mysteriously: deleted, lost, evaporated, not recollected, national security, executive privilege, not part of the executive, eaten by a dog, left for the next president to handle, held in secret bunkers in Iran and so it must be invaded to recapture these logs while democratizing them over there instead of over here unless you want to cut and run cuz i'ts hard work putting food on your family, which is uniquely American so a one-fingered salute to the haves and have-mores cuz the decider decided and, uhhh. ummm...can't get fooled again.....

seriously... can't some cop just walk in there, taser the lot and arrest them? There must be dozens of crimes they could be convicted of.

The courts should not have to tell these people, what they already know. They know full well there should be nothing secret about the government.

That's why they hate it so much. If you are following the laws and rules as they are laid out, there would be no problems at all.

These people know exactly what they are doing and we need to continue pressing the point, there should be plenty of over site and accountability, up to and including jail time for the violators and there are many.

When you take a job in the government and you use it for the purpose, these people have done. You will be accountable to the American people.

Over site and these investigations into the conduct of Bush and this team of criminals needs to continue, to show the American people exactly what is going on, using our government and in all of our names, buy an illegal President.

This information should help in the efforts of overturning much of the damage they have done and convictions of many of them.

Maybe a little, in out, in out?

It is true....the amount of absolute disasters that are queued up is amazing. The Middle East is on a tripwire with Israel ready to go into Gaza and with Hamas gearing up to meet them.

Russia is setting up Iran with a nuclear program.

Russia is also getting ready to put missiles into Belarus to counter the US Poland/Czech system.

Turkey has begun incursions into Iraq.

Pakistan is ready to meltdown in an electoral cataclysm.

Iraq is on borrowed time and it will be a matter of time for the whole place to blow up.

The US and world economy are hinky and ready for a swan dive.

It's gonna be a heady 2008.

-GSD

No doubt my friend let me tell you I am really seriously nervous. None of this stuff isn't going to magically fix itself. I'm also past the age where I can just get up and say fu*k it I'm going to California. Whatever happens happens.

The next year is definitely gonna have ALOT of normally peaceful folks wishin they had guns...get them while you still can! Better to have them and not need them, than the other way around. And no...I'm not advocating violence...only self defense.

This story is harder to swallow than pecan logs.

I can't resist......resistance is futile.....

We know they will never give them up because that’s how BushCo operates, but I’d love to see them explain why Jeff Gannon visited Karl Rove’s office like 137 times.

Someone spent a lot of time on their knees.

But Chimpus Maximus is the Imperator and, therefore, operates outside of the law. He's a "war president" and is just trying to keep Amerikans safe.

I think the rats may be getting a little nervous. January 2009 is not that far away, and their attempts at covering their tracks of criminality are only going to meet more and more resistance in a presidential election year.

When these bastards leave office, and they no longer have chimpy's unconstitutional signing statement/executive privilage B.S. to hide behind anymore, they better damn well hope the Supreme Court has their back. Otherwise their sorry asses could be in for some deep serious karma.

Especially when the people get hit with the full affect of the coming depression, and realize the collossal amounts of taxpayer dollars these SOB's stole during their 8 years of taxpayer subsidized crony debauchery.

And there probably won't be a whole lot of pardon's coming from a new Democratic President and Democratic congress that in all likelyhood, will have large majorities in both houses.

It might finally be the time to play "fuck the neocons". First contestant please?

Everyone needs to take back any implication that Rove might be gay because NO! I will turn straight. //shudders//
