Thanks.

I thought I was the only nut appalled at a civil servant steering a gov contract to her spouse and a belief it was high time for staffers to quit talking to the press on “deep background” like they’re in some spy novel.

Staffers shouldn’t say anything to the press they wouldn’t mind seeing in headlines.

It’s Time To Get Serious About Plamegate

It’s time once again for everybody to seriously consider the advantages of thinking like a cat. For the past week we have been subjected to a series of leaks regarding the investigation into whether or not a high-ranking Bush official…

P.S. Did I forgt that you support imrisonment without trial if its in a foreign country, are still hoping they find WMD’s even when the Republicans in power have admitted “We have no evidence of Weapons of Mass destruction” you push your religious views on everyone and support those who attack anyone who attacks an offical you like’s millitary record (ex: John Kerry and (R) John McCain)

Matt,

You might be a Republican if you think lying is ok if you’re not caught, you support the death penalty but think if a woman, even a minor is raped and wants to not have a baby, she’s a criminal, you make your kids get arrested in a public display of getting a dying blind woman water becuase you “support life,” you think we were somehow winning Vietnam, you think what Nixon did was ok but exposing him in an election year was wrong, you think Bush could never make a mistake, even when he says “I made a mistake,” you think if a Republican did something wrong its Clinton’s fault. Finally, you might be a Republican if instead of reading the news, such as is reported, you wait for the talking points from Rush, O’reilly, Coulter and the like and say “Oh ok, I guess thats what happened.” Thank you.

Great summary. I’ve linked to you, but my trackback wouldn’t go through. So here it is: Plame Fallout?

The latest in the blogs

Right Wing Nuthouse has a round up of the whole Plame affair. Fitzgerald has announced their will be no indictments announced today, much to the dismay of the controversy hungry MSM. It is clear that no actual crime was committed in the outing of a C…

You Might Be A Democrat If … You think “ethics” is an eastern European country. You’ve named your kids with hyphenated first and last names. You’ve tried to argue that poverty could be abolished if people were only willing to redistribute their wealth. You’ve ever referred to someone as a “bigot or Nazi”. You’ve ever tried to prove Jesus was a married man. You oppose the death penalty, but support abortion. You don’t support school choice for others, only for yourself. You think you might remember laughing once as an adult and feeling guilty about it. You once broke loose at a party and inhaled, but don’t admit it. You support diversity, as long as others agree with you. You’ve referred to moral fiber thinking it was a new man made textile. You’ve ever uttered the phrase, “you hypocrite”. You’ve ever said, “the Bill Of Rights is outdated”. You answer to “No One”. You support PETA and Green Peace, but still eat beef, fish, lamb,and wear leather garments. You protest your neighbor clearing their yard of weeds. You only let your kids watch PBS and listen to NPR. You scream at the thought of agreeing with a Republican. You’ve argued that Western values are no values. You agree that all the world’s problems can be traced back to white Anglo-Saxon men taking advantage of others. When people say “Marx,” you think, “to bad his idea didn’t work”. You’ve ever yelled, “capitalist”. You still wear the Birkenstocks you purchased in 1969. You argue that you need 300 laws to control guns. You really think that guns kill people - not people kill people. You want to protest something but don’t know what. You’ve ever said “I support civil liberties, but not personal liberties.” You will not admit that trees are a renewable resource. You’ve ever said “reduce paper, save a tree”. You donate money because it makes you “feel good”. You came of age in the ’60s and don’t understand what went wrong. You justify lying cheating Democrats because Republicans lie and cheat. You ever start or end an argument on the phrase, “you are closed minded”. You never told a child that Oscar the Grouch “lives in a trashcan” because he chooses to do so. You think denial is a virtue. You don’t mind contributing 4 months of your salary to the government and you’re only sorry it can’t be more. You believe that everyone else is responsible for you but you.

Jo said “I have my fingers and toes crossed that this whole thing goes away â€¦ or at least a report comes out showing nothing was done incorrectly.”

Nice Jo, isn’t it funny that after the trapping of Clinton for sex with the perjury charges, when Republicans actaully act like criminals, Rightists want it all to “go away” [tear]

Nice post, Phil.

But how many on this site will actually read it & understand (finally) that politics is not sports — you don’t just continue blindly and unthinkingly rooting for your team, if said team turns out to have been cheating all along.

And boy, have these guys cheated! (And LIED.)

No, I’m standing on the sidelines now — not cheering what is really a sad indictment of American “democracy.” It’s sad to see that the only way to make the Bush Administration own up to their nefarious ways is to sic a prosecutor on them… and even then, there will be no mea culpas from those who have dragged our country into the muddy filth of our own end-zone.

Just Presidential pardons (as usual) — not penalties all around, as there should honestly be.

Here’s hoping some truth, at least, will out. Our country will survive, but I’m praying ALL the bad apples in the Bush Administration get their well-deserved comeuppance.

But I’m not holding my breath.
