Hume downplays possible investigation of Bush officials

Fox's Brit Hume said that little will come from Democrats' attempts to investigate Bush officials who politicized the Justice Department.
"We've heard John Conyers, one of the most liberal members of the American body politic, wants to hold investigations. He's held many farcical investigations in the past. The likelihood is they will go nowhere and end up being an embarrassment to the Congress and the Democrats in charge there," said Hume.
Of course he does. I find it funny that all these talking heads state their opinion as if it is law or something. As if they are the all knowing person on the given subject. Scarborough is the king of that sort of, no one knows as much on any subject as I do, attitude.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
Remember when you were a kid and other kids told you their candy didn't taste good to keep you from wanting it? Same thing.
nt
Hume and Kristol and the like are speaking strictly to the 28%ers. Nobody else gives a damn what spews out of their holes. It's comical that those guys think they have some kind of influence outside of the right-wing nutcase demographic.
...with an agenda and very deep pockets enabling them to spew this bilge "24" hours a day ...
I'm Boycotting NewsCorp! Heres what not to buy: http://www.cjr.org/resources/index.php?c=news...
Yeah, but they spew it in the Fox ghetto. None of these guys, with the exception of Kristol's NYT gig, has any mainstream outlet for their propaganda. I don't care how many wingnut eyes and ears they get on any given day, it doesn't leave that room. And with the rest of the country moving in a different direction, that garbage will fall on more and more deaf ears.
We're so used to seeing radical conservative morons getting a mainstream soapbox that it's hard to imagine a time when they won't, but that day is coming. We'll never be completely rid of that cancer, but the tumor is shrinking and going into remission.
though rumors have been running rampant.
Some stuff you can't make up!
about the outcome. Keystone dems.
Herman Munster seemed more likable when I was a kid.
If Hume is bothering to ridicule the prospect of investigations at Justice, that can only mean that the GOP is worried about such an investigation.
EXACTLY. Nail on the head over here folks!
Bingo!!!
I agree with practically everything Hume said.
Conyers is liberal...not liberal enough, but liberal.
He has held farcical investigations in the past...OK I don't agree.
They will go nowhere...true!!! Absolutely true.
They will be embarrassing...true but not for his reasons. They will be embarrassing by showing the Democrats are tools just like the Republicans. Same paymasters, different spins.
of your comment out of context ... over and over again.
interesting thats as close to the truth as i have seen here!both partys the same !who could have seen this?
Bret Hume, Pat Buchanen, and Joe Scarborough all act as if they have all been so successful over the past thirty years. All they have done is steal elections. Once in office they have always been crooked thugs.
Conyers in the nose.
They're both bought and sold.
Hume is better funded. That's all.
I remember that same verbiage being used against Obama, Kerry, etc. It seems like anytime someone proposes *anything* contrary to Republican party policy, they're branded "one of the most liberal" senators, representatives, or whatever their designation is.
Different day, same crap. Nothing to see here.
Doesn't there come a point when enough people have been named "one of the most liberal" that we can consider the average person in Congress to be liberal?
They are shooting an unloaded gun. All that happens is a little flag comes out of the barrel that says MOST LIBERAL. Woo, scary!
Why does fumes always have the expression that he just crapped himself?
Diabolus est Deus Inversus
Actually, I think he looks like he's constipated. We all know he's full of shit.
Years of eating neocon shit has to come out eventually. I'm just surprised it's not oozing out of his ears.
it was the embalming fluid that made him look so animated.
Nuff said.
He's wearing William the Bloody Kristol's Neocon Beige jacket. What, do these neocon blowhards pass the same coat around or do they have a closet full of them?
The Brotherhood of the Travelling Sportscoat.
Diabolus est Deus Inversus
Hahahahahahaha. I just pissed myself.
TMI.
...If you wanted one of these jackets would you go to The Mens Warehouse and just ask for the "Neocon Beige" jacket and they'd bring one out for you?
I understand it has a blood red lining.
I guarantee it!!!
Diabolus est Deus Inversus
closet, I'd bet. Seems like a trait common to all wing-nuts.

Anti-war protesters throw shoes at White House
WASHINGTON (AP) — Anti-war protesters were throwing shoes outside the gates of the White House on President George W. Bush's last day in office.
About 500 people marched to the White House and threw about 40 pairs of shoes at the gate while tourists looked on and took photos.
http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/A...
That's wonderful! A perfect send off for the Worst President Ever.
to do that.
I marched on 9/15/07.
Wish I could've done more.
... Of character.
Either Sh!t Fumes is upset that people will actually be held "RESPONSIBLE" for crimes committed, or he lacks faith in the House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers' past of "no action" that he fears moving forward will be fruitless because the person in charge of investigations of the past just sat on his hind quarters and actually did nothing.
Like Nazi Pelosi said, "Past is prologue," and I think Fumes is afraid that the "no action" of the past will move forward continuing in the vein.
... I can dream, NO?
I think the truth is, Brit's a pile of Sh!t Fumes.
.
Starve the WAR Beast...
... Save the World.
Both Humes and his pedo mate O'Reilly need to face as much justice as Bush and his cronies. The pair of them have lied, abused, harrassed and supported on their shows the treason of Bush and co. Will the democrats have the balls to bring them to account? You bet your sweet life they wont.I have a dream, that Pres Obama will show this nation he is not going to simply be another President, I have a dream Pres Obama will say to this nation, the nation he implores to unite and join him, he will say, Bush lied deliberately and I will insist he answers to this nation. I have a dream, and that is all it is, a dream. Bush, Chaney, their crim friends, their evil media supporters will sit back in the contented knowledge, nothing will happen to them. Nothing unless a series of unfortunate private accidents befall them. Then the dream will be a reality.
Every time any conservative pundit (FOX included of course) refers to a Democrat, they always use the line "one of the most liberal". Who does that leave on the left that isn't one of the most liberal?
is intended to be a factual statement
And also, they try their best to ignore the true progressives like Kucinich, Feingold, and Sanders, and only save "the most liberal" label for anyone who dares go just one toe over the republican party line.
hume is a horse's ass
you tell, it looks just like
it would as he pulled his head out
of the horse's b-tt.
...rhino's ass?

What ends up being an embarrassment and a humiliation is the past 8 years of crimes with no accountability.
Come on people...there are no blow jobs involved. War crimes? Politicizing every department? Nothing to see here. Now if Bush had gotten a blow job? Nah, nothing to see here.
IOKIYAR.
What if it were courtesy of turdblossom?
Diabolus est Deus Inversus
A blow job wouldn't matter in Bush's case either. It only matters if it's a Democratic president getting the blow job and a Rethuglican congress hell bent on using it to overthrow an election when they have absolutely nothing else to go after him over. that's how much Rethuglicans love free elections.
For a second there I thought you said overthrow an erection.
Must be embarrassing when Japenese politicians try to give election year speeches in English.
Diabolus est Deus Inversus
No, that would be overblow an erection.
The only place Congressional hearings went in the past was to the Alberto Gonzales Justice Department.
Gonzales, Inc: a wholly owned subsidiary
I heard tell that the repugs were shocked, shocked I tell you, that Democrats didn't want to go to boosh's outgoing speeches.
And this was like a couple of weeks after they announced that they were going to avoid the inaugration, and hold a vacation meeting as a government in exile.
Diabolus est Deus Inversus
into why Hume is melting and whether or not it's contagious.
somebody threw a bucket of water on him.
yeah but they were just trying to flush the terd.
more embalming fluid.
Tomorrow, Bush's problems become Obama's.
He's a great politician.
But will he make the right decisions?
The right decisions aren't those, necessarily, that are satisfying.
They're those that stand the test of history.
Start by tripling the tax rate on every person who voted for Bush in 2000 and again in 2004. That would be a start to pull us out of the deficit sink hole Bush supporters got us into by voting for this SOB. You voted for it, you pay for it.
seriously. those people should legally have to forego the right to vote for two more election cycles before they get the vote back. There is no excuse.
To politician I would add:
- rhetorician
- statesman
- representative of the American Dream
- accomplished legal mind
- author
- honest broker
That's what Bush is counting on...
Bush successfully postponed the formation of a 9/11 comission for over 400 days...

from the ranch in crawford or his bigoted gated community. No seal, no deal.
Nothing will come of any of this. They came. They saw. They embezzled. They killed. They took their money home.
Republican bullcrap hogwash.
When it comes to John Conyers committee and his investigations, let's go back in time a bit before we condemn him.
Most of what Mr. Conyers tried to investigate occurred during the period prior to 2006 before the Democrats took the majority in the house and Senate. The Republicans wouldn't even let him meet in a committee room, and he was not allowed to be referred to as the Chairman. He at least had the guts to BEGIN looking at the abuses of the Bush presidency.
And yes, you could fault the Democratic leadership after 2006 for not pushing more of Mr. Conyer's agenda, but remember, with the slim Democratic majority in the Senate being threatened at every turn by the filbustering assholes of the GOP, it was damn tough to get ANYTHING through.
Also, Mr. Conyers didn't have media access like the GOP's propaganda outlet, FOX News and it's chief manure spreader, Shit Fumes.
Democratic Party progressive, Vietnam veteran and proud Union member for 41 years
Conyers, sadly, has a long legacy of rhetoric and relatively few achievements, either as judiciary chair or other legislative matters. Not saying he's not a great man - one we all should admire - but his success rate is pretty bad considering his 30+ years in congress. He's not really able to lead.
Cheney and all the others, that's a fuck you to Obama.
How will Obama respond?
for an asteroid that might fall on Washington DC.
I can dream can't I.
statusquObama, change you can only pretend in
You've already said if a "big rock" obliterated every resident of DC, you'd only mourn for the homeless.
Now it looks like you're prepared to throw them under a bus (excuse me ... under an asteroid) too.
I knew you were lurking.
There you go again putting your little quotation marks around two words I did write, quod vide: big rock and using them in a sentence that I did not write.
We need a serious discussion on intellectual honesty and ethics, both of which you are falling well short of my ideal.
Or if I give you the extreme benefit of the doubt, it is competence or consideration. More precisely a lack thereof.
If you wish to make a point about something I have said, then link to my statement or better yet, copy it and paste in italics with blockquote or some similar mechanism to identify it, THEN comment.
OTHERWISE, don't bother. I will not respond.
statusquObama, change you can only pretend in
Bob thinks he's the local enforcer on here to make those with opposing ideas "tow the party line". He seems to only respond to certain people on here. All the time. Would that be flaming?
Isn't that toe?
Diabolus est Deus Inversus
You sorry slime bag.
I am a liberal and damn proud of it.
Everything that has ever happened for the better in the history of the world, happened because of a liberal point of view!
You can name nothing conservative that ever did anything other then enslave, destroy, and just be ignorant!
Ronald Reagan created the Earned Income Tax Credit.
Britt looks like the kid that got beat up at recess. Don't remember his name. Thought he'd come to a bad end. Guess he did. Looking like Britt Hume.
the repigs have nothing to worry about !thier will be no serious investigations into any bush cheny crimes , now how would that look if bush was charged with war crimes for starting two wars one in iraq one in afganistan , although both were not started by obummer his intention as hes stated is to prolong both the occupation in one and to enhance the other, you cant charge one president for crimes and let the next president continiue doing the same crimes!
I have learned to live with your spelling in order to appreciate your reasoning.
Whether the new guys commit ALL of the same crimes remains to be seen.
Some, like torture, I doubt they will repeat. I could be wrong.
However, there are a large number of people feeding at the MIC trough, though it is a smaller number that are feeding really, really well.
They will not give up easily and turning off the spigot is going to be an enormous challenge.
The 'wars' are wars of aggression, by that definition they are illegal.
statusquObama, change you can only pretend in
nothing will ever come of it.they will never pay for any of their crimes.just the way it is.
Yeah, and ole Brit has been SO accurate on his predictions these past few years.
He's a piece of shit straight up. And apparently very, very stupid.
Because Libby was a real waste of time, compared to Monica.
It's about time that all these talking head blowhards have lived way past their time. Atwater is gone now, and hopefull the rest who are left will simply waddle into an old folks home and their family will show them the same attention these Brit Hume waste-of-skins showed the rest of America--none.
Where did Hume stand on the Clinton impeachment for getting a blow job and lying about it. Just wondering.
Yeah, right. I'm _sooo_ off base here.
hume is such an old fart JOKE. I know he represents about 98% of the old fart jokes that watch his silly ass program; but enough is enough. It's time to put the old tube radio off to the side and move into the computer age.
This idiot is nothing but a bad fart in the wind. Nothing more.
Wasn't that a song by Kansas?

Anybody wanna make some bets?
Hey guys, check this out
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,144315,00...
FOXNEWS can't even accurately represent it's own (already skewed)
data about Bush approval ratings.
How can 51% be the average of 61% and 37%. Even averaging all the years yields 49.75%!!!!
Let me guess, his first term is weighted because we were attacked on 9-11.
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,144315,00...
You're kidding , right?
What is your conceptual, continuity?
It's time to go.
Retire, already!
Twit was leaving the Fox Propaganda Channel?
Brit is looking like a revived cadaver after the Bush years. I think he's due for a brain feeding.
Congress and Democrats have embarssed themselves for 8 straight years. What's *the risk* of a few more months to them?
As a side note, it seems as if Pelosi and Reid have suddenly woken up. I think they were quiet because someone knew something that they could shut them down with if they stepped out of line, a la Spitzer and Blogevich. My question now is, where have the people gone who held stuff over their heads?
Brit Hume your an embarrassment!
Hume is a PUTZ!
the amount of democrats who approve of Bush has tripled?
You had your day. It's over. Go. Now.
Let's pen this in every public restroom from now on: Flush twice, it's a long way to Brit Hume's office.
I hate to say it but JOhn Conyers is not only a joke ,but, a big joke at that.
