yes, it’s incredible that there are still folks who believe the libby case is just about his lying under oath during his grand jury testimony. it’s even more incredible that there are as many apologists for the whole sad affair as there are out there.
but leave it to keith olbermann to lay out the truth (nice and simple for the bushies, who hopefully can still hear even with their heads so far up their asses) on why the commutation of libby’s sentence is so destructive to this nation and what should be done about it. watch this and weep. how did we ever let these charlatan assholes drive our country so far into the ground?
after reading about bush commuting scooter’s sentence, i did what i often do when presented with something outrageous and infuriating. i wrote an email. this time, it was to george and dick (two of the best arguments for abortion i’ve ever seen):
subject: if it walks like a thug and talks like a thug
you people are truly beyond belief.
it would take more energy than i have (and as a father of three young boys, i’ve got a lot of energy) to catalog the egregious offences you and your “administration” have committed against this once-great nation.
commuting little scooter’s sentence today is just your latest “fuck you” to the american people. it’s not enough that you lied to get us into war. it’s not enough that you lied about leaks and leakers, all the while doing the leaking yourselves. it’s not enough that you manipulated the justice department for political gain. no, you have to step in and overturn the decisions of judge and jury in a transparent effort to keep one of the insiders from turning on you.
