Cheney and anger

From the moment Libby was indicted it was obvious that he would not have acted on his own but was, in fact, following orders from Dick the Slimy. And now we know that is true. Fitzgerald now has testimony from several individuals that the whole roviating of Wilson originated in Cheney's office and that Cheney himself authorized Libby to leak information. I guess the question is, what is anyone going to do about it? And if Democrats run true to form I guess the answer is probably nothing. Just like they will probably do nothing about Bush/Cheney's unconstitutional power grab. Gonzales is going to brief both the House and the Senate on the spying. That will no doubt make the Democrats feel better (better to get a bit of information than none at all) and they will then drop the issue. Ah, Democrats. How I wish there was a viable third party.

As near as I can tell from the web most everyone (that I read) believes that Gonzales appearance was a marvelous mixture of horse shit, bull shit, with a generous dose of pig pucky. He managed to dazzle the Senators with his Alice in Wonderland style of driving them crazy. Clever fellow, Gonzales, still acting as the President's private attorney rather than as Attorney General of the United States. So what did you expect, Bush brought him along from Texas, just another crony appointment, another incompetent but loyal follower.

The Republican strategy at the moment seems to focus on the fact that Hilary and other Democrats are angry. And, according to them, angry people don't get elected. I guess they are unaware of the problem that a majority of the American electorate is angry. Angry as hell. And why would Hilary and the rest of us not be angry after five years of incessant lying, cheating, and a whole litany of war crimes? of course she's angry. So are the rest of us. And I hope we will continue to be angry as hell until these lying war criminals are held accountable for their murderous illegal and unconstitutional acts. I am not suggesting that we should support the warmonger Clinton, only that we should understand her anger. I do not believe that any Democratic candidate can be elected unless they are demonstrably anti-war. This means that Hilary, Kerry, Lieberman (heaven forbid), Biden, and several others are already out of the running. At the moment that would seem to leave Feingold, maybe Warner, perhaps Gore, possibly Edwards, as the only possibilities. The problem is, who in their right mind would want the responsibility of trying to clean up the mess Bush/Cheney have made?

I don't think I will live long enough to see this mess cleaned up. I fear infinity is not for me. But good luck to you all.
