The slow-motion trap

His presidency was built on secrecy and, we now know, on lies. The more Bush struggles to free himself, the more his past deceptions bind him.

    Given their rabid attempts to pin false obstruction of justice charges on Bill Clinton via Sidney Blumenthal in 1998-99, the GOP's silence on an *actual* case of leaking, smearing, and obstruction of justice is, what...thundering? Deafening? Earsplitting?

    Wait! We just need Christopher Hitchens to pipe-up that he had lunch with Scooter, who leaked Plame's name (adding that she was a "stalker" for good measure,) and *that* will get the impeachment ball rolling!
