Fitzgerald had two years and came up with bupkus - a perjury and

been committed. Apparently, it never occurred to Fitzgerald to check
with other journalists to see if they had heard of Plame and her
association with the CIA.

Uh...did you skip over this bit:

"The testimony, however, does not appear to shed new light on whether
Libby is guilty of lying and obstructing justice in the nearly
two-year-old probe or provide new insight into the role of senior Bush
adviser Karl Rove, who remains under investigation."

If Libby lied and obstructed, that is a federal crime. Bill Clinton was
impeached by the rabid-right US House of Representatives for lying about a
blow job.



Nope, *for lying*, period.

So, I guess that lying about a conversation is a higher crime than lying
about a actual physical sexual encounter between boss and employee.

If we were discussing a certain NW boat broker, well yes, I'd say it
was. There needs to be a certain amount of trust when giving exclusives
to these agents. If that confidence is not honored, where are we? There
are scoundrels out there.

dealing with an unscrupulous boat dealer who then published false

Harry, I think that even you have *some* class. You seldom show it in the group,

you *have* some.

Furthermore, I have no control over the posting of Tuuk, or anyone else. I
surely do not have the power to make easier (facilitate) the postings of
*anyone* in the group.

But, if it makes you feel better to call me 'facilitator', help yourself. I just
think, rather, that there are a lot of people who dislike you. And, it has
nothing to do with your politics.

Also, as Sears, Kohls, Wal-Mart, and Costco are *not* using "Merry Christmas" in
their greetings this year (so they'll be more PC), I'll not be doing my
Christmas shopping in any of these stores.

I figure you'll like that!

Actually the lie was in a sexual harassment suit. Lies in court to prevent
conviction of sexual harassment and paying big bucks to the harassed. A
little bit different than just lies about sex (?) with an employee. And the
defendant did pay $850,000 to plaintiff. So there must have been some
sexual harassment!

You and I seem to agree on the definition of 'facilitate'. What am I doing that
makes it easier for you, et al, to post here. Is whatever I'm doing able to
discriminate, or does it facilitate *everyone's* posting?

If I'm able to facilitate some posts, could I also hinder other posts?

What Harry means is you should not respond to anyone he doesn't want you
to
respond to. If everyone in here would just listen to Harry and do what
Harry wants, rec.boats would be a much better place.

1. What, to your way of thinking, does 'facilitate' mean?

2. What about all the rest?

You and I seem to agree on the definition of 'facilitate'. What am I doing
that
makes it easier for you, et al, to post here. Is whatever I'm doing able
to
discriminate, or does it facilitate *everyone's* posting?

If I'm able to facilitate some posts, could I also hinder other posts?

Do I render the behavior easier? Do I lessen the labor of these posters? Or, do
I do something physiological to them? (I'm not going very far in that
direction!)

Would Metamucil be something that meets definition number three?

Do you not think that your constant derogatory comments 'facilitate' responses?

JohnH,
It is funny that Harry has followed everyone of your posts with a snide
comment, but that is ok. NPD is a terrible thing.
