Bush and Cheney walk, too

Even as the president confesses that Scooter Libby engaged in a cover-up -- after all, that was the verdict -- he completes the ultimate obstruction of justice in the Plame affair.

The letters thread is now closed.

It Is Time...

...that we stopped assuming that the wingnuts who write in to every website imaginable to carry water for the neo-fascists are actually citizens.

These people are intelligence agents and their deputies working a massive psyop designed to convince everyone to the left of their political beliefs of the ubiquity of their numbers and, therefore, the futility of dissent.

We need to cut the proverbial nuts off of these people (whose testicles have actually descended, Michelle Malkin notwithstanding) by DEMANDING that they make publically plain precisely WHEN their plastic "Jesus" is coming back to save them and restore order to the world.

All I see are alot of old money families still traumatized by what France did to THEIR rich people who have been out to overturn the Enlightenment since it started. That would be the world's longest sustained conspiracy since the formation and maintenance of the Catholic Church as a viable representative of God on Earth.

We can trace what these inbred puques have been doing in the US since 1932, but everyone forgets about the formation of the Federal Reserve system and the damage that little bit of unconsitutional sophistry did to our democracy.

Paying a bunch of rich people money and interest to print money for our own country? Whose friggin' idea might that have been?

The British, methinks.

To the old money people, democracy itself is a terrorist insurgency that they are bound and determined to win the final war against.

When we finally cross swords and draw their blood, please remember that we didn't START this fight, but we can damn sure finish it.

There's a reason the Russian people labelled him, "Peter the Great."

@anon... throwing food around doesn't become you.

So what? At least John Kennedy didn't get us into a nuclear war, no thanks to the right-wing nutbags who tried to talk him into one. Had GW been President then, we'd all be molten slag.

However, let's get to the real problem you have: you refuse to address the problem. Instead, you want to tar anyone and everyone else in sight with the sins of Bush and Cheney. This is a typical schoolyard tactic, and if that's all you have--projecting impeachable crimes and misdemeanors onto whoever comes into your pointy little head--why don't you just go over to LGF and entertain the geniuses there?

We're clearly not in your league.

Unless you care to talk about what Blumenthal's article was actually about: Bush commuting Libby's sentence so that Libby wouldn't spill it all to Fitzgerald. How do you feel about that? Do you think people who lie to prosecutors about a felony should go free? Do you think people who protect their bosses from even worse crimes should go free?

Try, if you can, to forget about Bill Clinton and Marc Rich for a moment--and let's leave Joe Kennedy out of it too (who's next? Shirley Temple??)--and just concentrate your delicate brain cells on the problem at hand: a criminal enterprise masquerading as a Presidency. What do you think of it? Lying us into useless, bloody war that has made the world very, very unsafe; lying about why perfectly competent prosecutors were fired from Justice; handing over the entire country to Big Pharma, Big Oil, and investment banking companies--among others.

Concentrate your mind, anonymous, and then maybe you can actually address the problem, instead of desperately projecting the problem everywhere but where it belongs.

Mr. Big.

Mr. Libby must walk… or else he will talk…

Mr. Big in the crosshair… silenced the affair.

With reference to Frybread's post ...

it is accurate to acknowledge that the neo-cons - who universally despise the Clintons - are now saying "Clinton did it too." But to take that a step further, the Republican during the Clinton years spent tens of millions of dollars on "special prosecutors" to investigate and prosecute Clinton and his inner circle. The investigations turned up nothing. I think it quite illustrative that the first thing the same Republicans did upon Bush becoming president was eliminate special prosecutors.

But now, after much pious pronouncement about punishing leakers, Bush has reversed the persecution process that sought to punish the Democratic president by commuting the sentence of a convicted liar. That's the big difference between the two presidents. One was hunted incessantly without major result. The other found the culprit and patted him on the back.

Praise GOD. GOD Rules.

Who among us cannot forget and revere the law and order scion, the blessed Bush, the then Governor of Texas, who in Jesus’ name, (everything our loved president does is in Jesus’ name,) would not in his solemn righteousness commute the death sentence of a black retarded man.

America as the senior partner of the bloody 'Axis of Chutzpah' (that would be righteous blood), now has a personal president of Chutzpah in its own right.

I say , I say praise Jesus’ America.

I say, I say, praise Moses’ Israel.

I say I say praise the new incarnation of the CIA.

CIA = Chutzpah + Israel + America.

Yesterday the Supreme Court;

Today the CIA;

Tomorrow we Nuke Iran!

Let Us See Our President For the Criminal He Is.

Thank you, Sidney.

It was James Madison who wrote in the Federalist Papers, #51, in 1787:

The purpose (end) of government is justice.

There are means to reach this end. One is the 'faithful execution of the laws'. We understand that the Executive Branch, headed by the President, has primary responsibility.

So what happens when the President, again and again, breaks the law?

Fed. fellon No. 28301-016

Scooter-016 surely would have croaked when he saw the orange uniform reserved for him. bush had to silence him since all the threads lead to rove, cheney and bush himself.

In other matters, bush has ways of making people talk, even when innocent of any crime, not charged, and undefended.

In Libby's case, a convicted fellon well-represented by the priciest attornies, formally charged, judged by a jury of his peers in a real American Court of Law, found guilty, and sentenced by a bush appointed Republican judge whose sentence was upheld by a majority panel of Republican judges, is effectively freed from talking.

bush really must be running scared. Only thing the Congress can do is compel rove, cheney, bush and Fed.fellon -016 to testify in this new CRIMINAL COVER-UP. The commutation, as a COVER-UP is in itself another HIGH CRIME AND MISDEMEANOR to add to THE ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT.
