So where is the ourtrage?

Ken Starr has an investigation that goes on for years and spends oodles of money and is vilified for it.

Fitzgerald knows immediately where the leak was- yet he "investigates" for years and spends oodles of money only to uncover- nothing.

I guess it all depends on which side is being "investigated"

Iraq Body Count, long dismissed by the right as offering inflated mortality numbers for Iraq has serious questions about the Lancet study. And they are good ones.

Note: They do not dismiss the study as ideologically flawed. They assume an earnest attempt but find the outcome sufficiently flawed (read the details) that they believe there must have been a flaw in the random sampling.

I don't know what you're on about with Fitzgerald, Nehp. The investigation went on so long because Rove constantly changed his story, and so the grand jury kept calling him back in. It was Rove who dragged out the investigation, and not Fitzgerald.

And I'd hardly call a cover-up indictment of the Vice-President's Chief of Staff "nothing." As usual, it's always the cover-up and rarely the crime that gets these dweebs into trouble. Armitage confessed his leak immediately to the FBI and Justice Dept, and no criminal charges were pursued.

That the Administration's leaks came a few days later does not make them un-illegal. If you rape a woman who was just raped last week, you are still guilty of rape.

Heh- of course. It's Rove's fault. Sure.

Ken Starr investigation costs: $40,000,000. (approx)

Fitzgerald investigation costs: $1,500,000 (approx)

Just goes to show how much Democrats overspend.

Does your hair get all gritty from that sand you constantly have your head in, Neph?

Nephythys · 10-17-2006, 06:40 AM

I dunno- do you get good TV reception with all the tinfoil?

Hey sleepy - it's just because there is more corruption on the left so it costs more to investigate.
