Tuesday Evening Quick Shots
Release the Barrett report, says Tony Snow. What, you say? Here’s what:
By all accounts, the 400-page Barrett report is a bombshell, capable possibly of wiping out Hillary Rodham Clinton’s presidential prospects. At the very least, it would bring to public attention a scandal that would make the Valerie Plame affair vanish into comical insignificance.

one question about the barrett report comment:
what are jots?
what are tittles?
It’s an old phrase that basically makes some sort of reference to exacting (or alternately trifling) details. “Jots” are the dots over lowercase I’s; “tittles” are the crosses of lowercase T’s.
I sent emails to both Frist and Hastert from their official sites with the following message:
“Release the Barret Report. I am an American citizen and it is my right to know.”
Simple message that everyone should send. This is supposed to be a representative democracy (republic). They owe us the findings. Be a patriot and demand the truth.
Really, politics is at a point where it doesn’t matter.
The Barrett report, the Black Prison ‘outing’ are prime examples of where it exposes the libs for hypocrisy. That’s the problem though…
Each is 10 times more serious than Plamegate, but the driving force behind my desire to see either go public is to demonstrate the ABSOLUTE hypocrisy of the left to the left. They just don’t get it, and in all reality it doesn’t matter, it is a dying party anyway…
The Barrett report? I actually want HRC to get the nomination, so does it matter if it is released now, or in 2007 when she gets the nomination?
The Black Prison story is also the finest example of how leaks can endanger lives, but Dana Priest thinks she was doing the public a favor.
