(115,674 posts)If I sit down with a couple of friends and we concoct a plan to rob a bank but then do nothing at all about it, it's not a crime. But if we case the joint, buy disguises, or do anything else that was part of the plan, that's the crime of conspiracy even if we never actually rob the bank but just get busted on the way to do it.

(102,225 posts)I was near the Mayflower Hotel on Connecticut Ave in DC years ago, attending a conference and out walking when I saw a homeless woman with a couple of young children holding a sign requesting $$ help-- about a block away. Beyond her-- about a half a block further away--was a man that unbeknownst to me at the time was Brit Hume.
As I walked toward her and approached within a few hundred feet, a $20 bill fluttered across the sidewalk, seemingly from out of nowhere. I slowed down thinking she would get it. But much to my horror, the man sped up and grabbed it, not even looking in her direction. It clearly wasn't his and he literally had to speed in front of her to grab it, quickly walking away after stashing it in his pocket.
I stopped and gave the lady a $5 bill, which was all I had on me, but that story to me is the quintessential Brit Hume.

(70,683 posts)For years he was at ABC, occupying the wingnut seat that Jonathan KARL now holds. His slant towards the Bush Family Evil Empire was obvious, and he sneered his way through all news on Dems. He was fairly much acknowledged to be the BFEE consigliere, invited to family events where few if any other reporters were.
After he went to his true home, the Faux Propaganda Network, hosting the Sunday yak show, he would pistol whip Juan WILLIAMS every week just about depicting a plantation relationship. And Jon KARL inherited the wingnut seat at ABC, where he would ceaselessly insert positive references about the BFEE at every opportunity.
He was the "mentor" for the despicable Megan KELLY, like "mentor"?
