God, the whole Plame affair pisses me off. Let's see, two assholes in the White House violated a number of laws, burned an undercover CIA agent, putting any contacts of hers overseas at terrible risk, and, in the process, weakened our fight against WMD proliferation. Oh, and they did it to try to cover up their earlier lies, lies which led to us invading Iraq. Jesus. Does it get much worse than that? Ok, it does. The defense by the right is pretty freakin' horrible, too. They're throwing any garbage they can out there - at one message board, I saw a doofus who actually said that it was ok that Plame was burned...since Wilson was a Clinton administration official. What the FUCK?!? How does THAT work? But the more common refrain is that this is just another made-up attempt by Democrats at creating a scandal in the Bush White House. I don't know about you, but I doubt that George f'n Tenet and the CIA investigators who referred this to DoJ vote Democrat. If they're part of the DNC's covert operations arm, well, they haven't been doing near enough for us over the years, now, have they? THIS IS REAL, YOU BASTARDS. DEAL WITH IT. At least a couple people will most likely see jail time out of this, and if Rove IS one of the loose-lipped slimeballs, then it'll go further still, since Rove doesn't have the clearance to know Plame's CIA job - meaning someone had to tell Rove. I'm praying that Bush DIDN'T have anything to do with this. As much as I hate the man, I'd hope that the President of the United States of America would be slightly above Nixon on the slime scale. But my hopes are fading - the administration's ass-covering (read Press Sec. Scott McClellan spinning himself all the way around to avoid saying anything meaningful) shows that Bush himself is not going to disown these two criminals in his house until he's forced to...or worse still, he's integrally involved in the plot. (Though I've got a feeling it's out of Cheney's office - Matthew Ygelsias hits on one of the reasons.) Anyway. Gah. So very, very pissed. If Bush had dumped the fuckers out on the White House lawn today, I'd've gained a lot of respect for him. But no, that'd be asking too much. As to that bit I mentioned earlier today, there should (hopefully) be some news on that within a couple days. I've registered the domain name already, my friend in DC is making the needed contacts, and I've contacted a couple people myself. Should be interesting, and another good cause in the fight against Bush and his cronies... |

Gonna be light on the blogging for the next few days, maybe longer. I've got something potentially very, very big in the works that many of you will find very, very interesting. Once things get confirmed, you'll all be the first to know... =) |
