Politicians and their functionaries have been doing this dance you speak of for years, and your favorite administrations (whichever they might have been) were among those who exhibited the fullest variety of tawdry behaviors.Originally Posted by clocker
On the other hand, who am I to deny you the opportunity to gloat over such small potatoes?
The fact that Ms.Plame's "undercover status" has never been validated is a bit curious, don't you think?
The fact that her husband is easily the most egregious offender in the "name that agent" sweepstakes, and also the loudest complaining party, is also curious.
How come these points don't faze you or the media?
The fact you feel compelled to mention Rove at this point indicates nothing, apart from your fervent wish that he be hauled into the docket also.
No matter what you've heard, if there exists the slightest possibility of his endictment, he will be indicted.
If it doesn't happen, he will have attained a glorious status (investigated but not indicted) enjoyed by many in Washington, and probably 80% of the Clinton administration.
BTW-those who've noted here that the allegations against Libby are far worse than Bill Clinton's "dick-suck" (as Busyman refers to it) are wrong.
Clinton lied to the court, and ended up admitting it; never mind what it was about.
Libby is still innocent, but, if proven guilty, will still have to find a mighty tall ladder to even get a glimpse of Clinton's offense-after all, he is still merely a Whitehouse functionary, and Clinton was the President of the U.S.A.
They just don't compare.
As to WMD, if you yourself had been polled prior to the Iraq war, you'd have said you believed Saddam had them, because everybody else did-period.
Hans Blixt mentioned that he was intensely interested in the progress of the war, as "We will finally find the truth" about WMD.
That's hilarious, because nowadays Blixt and the doofus I.A.E.A. (which also "wasn't sure") are the first references of those who say Saddam didn't have WMD, never did, and everyone knew it.
There is no shortage of documented "Saddam has WMD! We have to do something!" quotes from every living soul on the political scene who have since tried to make partisan hay with the "Bush lied!" nonsense, and that you choose to forget this is the surest endictment of your own statements.
Much as I would hate to see a liberal administration, if such ever comes to pass again (difficult to believe), I hope we're all still here, 'cuz I'll have a blast.
If you still want to hash out the WMD thingie, google up a gaggle of quotes from credible sources which were gathered before the Iraq war-then we'll talk.
