Remember when David SHUSTER strung us along about KKKarl's certain indictment?

[UTUSN]

Every night for a couple of months, Keith featured SHUSTER assuring us that his "sources" were telling him KKKarl's indictment was coming in the next two weeks.


When it didn't happen, he said that his SOURCES were LAWYERS who had had clients in front of grand juries before, perhaps even KKKarl's grand jury. These were NOT "sources." A source would be somebody from FITZGERALD's office or who had access to the grand jury's activities. The lawyers SHUSTER was talking to were actually GUESSING, acting as PUNDITS. They were not SOURCES.


I posted back then that SHUSTER was actually doing for us Dems what he had done while he worked at Faux: Catering to a certain audience and telling that niche what it wanted to hear. Whether it's on this side or that side, he was operating the same way.


I sent Keith an e-mail saying this back then, but nothing happened. & some of us kept getting strung along by SHUSTER.


Betcha he gets pissed and reverts to the dark side.

1. I do. But I also remember a few DUers and Dipshit Jason Leopold doing that as well

2. Except, didn't it turn out that Rove ONLY avoided indictment thru last second moves?

And Lawrence O'Donnell was saying the same about Rove's impending indictment, and he is usually spot on in his analysis.

3. Well, O.K. Your interpretations are gold to me!1 n/t

4. I think you forgot the sarcasm notation. He made a mistake on the Chelsea comment

but his reporting has continually been top notch ESPECIALLY HIS COVERAGE OF THE PLAME TRIAL.

IF YOU WANT DARK SIDE, READ THE POST AT THE TOP OF DU'S GREATEST PAGE WITH COMMENTS.

5. Nope, no sarcasm. My o.p. explains his "reporting" methods. n/t

6. I also remember that he was regarded in near-God status

while he was telling us what we wanted to hear.

So much for that.

7. Final analysis: Firing USAs successfully consolidated political control of the DoJ.

And that control stands under Mukasey's direction. Same chairs, new butts!

I do not see indictments coming from Rs investigating Rs!
I do not even see enforcement of laws like Hatch Act and Presidential Records Act.

The complete consolidation of political control of DoJ argues for impeachment
hearings like nothing else. Mukasey made that point better than I can.
