Hope Everyone Kept The Receipts For Their Fitzmas Presents

...because they might all have to be returned.

Is Tucker Carlson on fire?

Definitely not. You have my word that Tucker Carlson will never be deemed to be "on fire."

Still, a good piece, even if it just says stuff you already know.

Even Better Bit by Michael Barrone. It gets to the CIA's covert operations against the US government, briefly, at its conclusion.

Thanks to Dr. Reo Symes for suggesting I read that all the way through.

No man who is under 80 and wears a bowtie could ever be considered "on fire." Unless, you know, you actually set him on fire.

George Will's pieces on the debacle that cannot be named were definitely en fuego.

ouch.

I only wear them occasionally. When I don't feel like spontaneously bursting into flames.

I nurse a secret fantasy where I jam Charles Osgood's bowtie up his ass and set the both of them on fire, while he delivers some banal piece of shit observation in rhymed couplets.

My secret fantasies tend more toward the lesbian cheerleader with me as the pom pom end of the spectrum. We're Charles Osgood ever to appear in any of my fantasies I would hope I would burst into flames.

Every time I look at Tucker Carlson and that stupid goddamned bowtie, I want to put my fist through his prissy momma's-boy face. It's an atavistic reaction, totally unconnected to his beliefs and opinions. But he looks like such a dork. (And I bet if you hit him hard enough, he'd cry.)

Posted by: Monty on November 18, 2005 02:40 PM

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Tucker Carlson a Tai-Kwon-Do black belt and weapons expert? Or am I thinking of somebody else?

All you lawlerly types, what's the significance of Fitzgerald asking for a new grand jury?

Posted by: Knemon on November 18, 2005 03:15 PM

Oh wait, maybe that was Cameron Diaz in Charlie's Angels.

The post on thermobaric weapons reminded me of this: "If you build a man a fire, he'll be warm for an hour. But if you set a man on fire, he'll be warm for the rest of lhis life."

Posted by: utron on November 18, 2005 03:26 PM

Fitzgerald's chasing his own tail. He started with a false premise, built a mistaken theory, failed to ask obvious questions, and kept looking for confirmation of his original false premise. Maybe now he's trying to retrace his steps but I doubt it.

It's what Lawrence Walsh did in Iran-Contra. He bought the official Liberal Media version, hook through sinker. He never had the first clue what it was all about.

Posted by: lyle on November 18, 2005 03:28 PM

I don't know enough about crim law to speculate why he could/would/should get another grand jury, but this guy's last monkey circus of a grand jury not only proved that there was no underlying crime, but that Fitzmasclause's list of naughty and nice couldn't even figure out the chronology of events. Thank you, Mr. Woodward.

Isn't there a statute of limitations or something to just shut it down with?

I see his proceedings as a quagmire. tee hee.

Posted by: joeindc44 on November 18, 2005 03:28 PM

Knemon, I'm not a lawyerly type (nor do I play one on television), but I believe the term of the previous grand jury had expired. To continue the investigation, he needed a new one.

Unlike Ronnie Earle, who shops around for grand juries in Austin until he finds one who'll give him his indictments.

"If you build a man a fire, he'll be warm for an hour. But if you set a man on fire, he'll be warm for the rest of lhis life."

Classic.... you should use that as a sig line!!

BIG NEWS UPDATE NOT FIRED

From her lawyer

"The irresponsible reports that have been published stating that Maria Bartiromo was fired or is no longer an employee of Fox are absolutely and unequivocally false," Freedman said Friday. "Make no mistake, we have the receipts and witnesses and they will come out whether through the courthouse or otherwise."

He added: "Those reporting her firing or the incredulous facts supporting that fiction have exhibited a complete and utter reckless disregard for the truth."

from anon2020
So what, she quit?
Megyn Kelly (accursed be her name) used to say all the time that Fox has a top female PR person who is a nasty pitbull and leaks nasty claims about anyone Fox is at war with, including those who have left the network. So I guess maybe she technically resigned? I don't know.
NEW: @FoxNews has obtained Lindsay Clancy defense attorney Kevin Reddington's appeal filing to the MA Supreme Court, which includes Reddington accusing the lone holdout juror of being "biased" against those with "debilitating mental illness", which he says is a protected category.

I'm taking Friday off, and then Monday off, too.
I have Open Threads for both days and I will post if big news breaks, but if it doesn't -- and it probably won't, news is slow before a holiday weekend -- I'm going to take a four day weekend.
