He’s “consulting” with an outside lawyer because he can maintain client/attorney priviledge. If he uses white house lawyers, no such priviledge exists. When you have as much to hide as Bush does, you don’t want anyone you consult with to divuldge anything.
Just why would our “brave” commander-in-chief have to consult with an outside lawyer? Moral clarity, anyone?

I’m missing something. Who on planet Earth could possibly care if George W. Bush either “hired” an attorney or “consulted” an attorney, and why in the Milky Way galaxy do you care?
Next: George Bush did not “have a manicure,” he “had his nails clipped.”
Who gives a flying fuck?

No, you see, when it was Clinton, it was because he had no choice because the vast right wing conspiracy had him under constant attack. Now it means Bush is guilty, lock ‘im up.

Why does Bush need a outside lawyer? The Plame case reeks to high hell. Somebody in the administation used a conservative reporter to purposely expose a CIA agent. Several somebodys in the administration know a hell of a lot about who was involved. Can’t wait to see results of the investigation.
And Bushbots, it’ll be a “little more” than sex.

There’s ol’ Northie, from the Grassy Knoll wing of the democratic party. Still accusing GWB of lying about… well, he’ll get back to you on that. Very efficient use of talking points, though. A+ for regurgitation.

Seriously, what a blowhard.

When I recall the late 90s, I remember the Republican talking point, better yet, talking word. That word was Scandal…as in Monica and Paula and Jennifer and travelgate, whitewater and the hair cut thing. Compare that to WMD, the phony al Qaeda connection, phony aluminum tubes purchases, exposing a CIA agent, the Haliburton contracts……OK, I’m tired of typing but, as you all know, there are plenty more. Now, doesn’t the Bush administration put the word “Scandal” in perspective?
Remember, nothing is more stunning in politics than the hypocrisy of the new century conservative.

I see where Tenet listened to Mr. Gore. He resigned. 1 corrupt official down, 5 to go.
Far North
Let me correct that: One incompetent official down, 5 to go.
I do not beleive Tenet was corrupt, just incompetent.

Northwindbiscuit,
Let’s see about those scandals:
Monica, Jennifer, Paula – all true as presented, all adultery to one degree or another, admitted or convicted.
Travelgate and Whitewater – hmmm, nothing impeachable which seems to be the benchmark by which Clinton is measured. Still no satisfactory explanation for firing the entire travel office of career employees and replacing them with political hacks, and a bunch of convictions related to Whitewater (not to mention poor Vince Foster wanting so badly to duck something that he took one for the team.)
al Qaeda connection – proven
WMD – Al Gore and John Kerry both said they were there, so I believe them. Must have been beamed up by the mothership.
Haliburton contracts – OK, you go there and drive the fuel trucks and we’ll pay you what Haliburton is getting paid. There aren’t five companies in the world that can do the job that Haliburton and it’s subsidiaries can do, and it’s probably the only American company capable.
Aluminum tubes / Yellowcake – the Brits still stand by their intel, and I’ll take their word for it.
So, talking points neutralized. What else ‘ya got?
