Bush raises the bar

I trust you all noticed today that Bush slyly raised the bar with respect to punishing anyone in his administration who leaked information. Remember, in the past he and McClellan merely said if anyone was found to have leaked they would be fired, or as Bush put it, "dealt with." As of today, however, Bush said, if anyone committed a crime they would be fired. They obviously think that Rove will not actually be convicted of a crime (as it is virtually impossible to get that kind of conviction in this particular kind of case). It appears that all Republicans support Bush on this. What this means is that even though we know for certain that Rove was involved in outing Plame, and did so to punish her husband, because he may technically escape a criminal conviction this treasonous behavior is believed to be okay by Republicans. In other words, treason is perfectly alright if it helps the Bush/Cheney administration. If this is not the most foul, disgusting, outrageous, unpatriotic, indecent, yes, treasonous behavior you can imagine I don't know what would be. Republicans are fouling their own nest with this and unless Bush declares martial law and establishes himself as dictator they are going to pay big time for this travesty. This is just another example of Republicans depending upon the stupidity or inattention of the American public. Karl Rove? Who's he? And you can bet even bigger bucks that most Americans have no idea who Lewis "Scooter" Libby is.

Who is Lewis Libby? Merely the chief of staff for Dick the Slimy, our President, who pretends to be only the Vice-President. Do you believe that Libby would leak Plame's situation without Cheney knowing about it? I don't. Personally, I believe Cheney is probably behind the whole thing. He and Karl are two of a kind: dishonest, sneaky, cowardly, and with no saving graces whatsoever. The fact that the Republican party tolerates these two and even defends them tells you just how low they have fallen. But because at the moment Republicans control everything we can only hope they will clean their own house, just as they did with the Nixon administration. If they can't bring themselves to come clean and rid themselves of this cancer there is just no telling what the outcome will be.
