This Libby Plame outing Team, this unnecessary war in Iraq, millions dead and injured leaves me feeling more disgusted with my government than I have been since the Vietnam war. For a while Patrick Fitzgerald had me believing that “truth is the engine of our justice system”. No longer.

This is complete and utter hogwash. The American people watch football players serve time for killing dogs, Micheal Byell of the Jena 6 do prison time (and had been charged as an adult), we have more people in our prisons who have robbed service stations (obviously not o.k.) doing life, people doing 20 years for the growing and sales of pot, and SCOOTER LIBBY AND THE OUT VALERIE PLAME TEAM WALK! How can anyone wonder why there is such deep dis-respect for the US “so-called” Justice system? This is not justice this is buying your time and gaming the system by the power elite.

I am so tired of people inferring that Chris Matthews has just started being upset with the Bush criminals. He has been hammering hard for four years..give this dude some credit for getting it.

Does anyone believe this drivel? Oh yeah, they do. Lots of ‘em. And many work in the “media.”

Congress lacks the balls to do anything whatsoever, Democrats or Republicans, and certainly has no way to enforce their subpoenas against the Bush homeboys and homegirls on the street. Theoretically don’t matter here; it ain’t gonna happen period.

I guess Dana Peroxide’s minor in Political Science at Colorado State University-Pueblo blithely skipped over the Cuban Missle crisis and the History 101 requirmeent for Mass Communications majors blew it off as well.

I’d like to see Dana on one of those J-Leno on the Street sound bytes. Dana’s Press conferences have become an extension of “Are you smarter than a fifth grader”–and if you have a kid near the fifth grade, hopefully she isn’t.

Methinks that if any Congresscritter attempted to subpoena Scoots to testify, Scoots would refuse to show up.

And given this Administration policy of not enforcing Congressional subpoenas, would again refuse to the same wrt Scoots. Maybe particularly wrt Scoots, he of the “knows where the bodies are buried” in Deadeye’s EOVP.

I don’t think that would work. They could give him use immunity pretty easily, so such a stall wouldn’t last very long.

Yes, I agree that use immunity is now more viable now that the appeal process is off the table. Absent that, Scoots ain’t gonna make testifying easy.

I still wait for the first Congresscritter to take up the challenge.

OT – Washington Mutual just announced it is laying off 3100 employees and closing 22% of their loan offices. That usually means the salaried employees. Nice, right at the holidays. Why is it always at the holidays? This means the other financial institutions are doing the same. It’s the working stiff who gets it in the gut.
