You reminded me of a ding dent on a farm truck fender.
The nation may drown in pools. Hank P. grabs the wheel.
The pool reports say:`Fake Scribe Bopping Heads are Ill.
Sick. Psycho Paulson is depressing as Troy Helen Hellion.
Let Hank and pals go cuddle a dead Sigmund Freud doll.
Drowning in Pool Reports--Dana Milbank-make ya' grin.
Outside waiting for B. Obama change, O poor Press Pool!
Press Pool No see Barack O. change. No gets clear views.
B.O. was changing and showering after Prez-elect swims.
Obama's staff explained: B.O. has a barber's appointment.
Barack swam at a gym from 9:32 to 10:32 on Sunday, too.
B.O. brain trust will employ former Clinton officials. O boy.
News is ricocheted around the world. Pew care? Bath? B.O.
Helen Thomas will go take a front set and watch B.O. shave?
D. Milbank make me smile. A totally bra, bah, MSMN. Kooks.
The media drives to a 'Goodwill Store' and pickpockets DOJ's.
When 'um buy used jockey briefs, bras, etc., Methinks 'um ale.
Who a.n.t. got some ill Indigestion. DOJ's gargle with gasoline.
It's the morning news? Willy N., and Hank P., gulp 3-beer or 2?
In my opinion:`The Press needs to check a carbeurator.
I like your Hoover analogy. The guy was a skunk.
I like the analogy because of how it differentiates Hoover's motivation vs. Bush's.
You ask; "can you tell me what possible motivations J. Edgar might have had?"
It is my understanding that he was at times motivated by one or both of the following;
1) Satisfying himself.
2) Gaining information to be used to blackmail people, thereby securing his position as head of the FBI.
Any examples of Bush acting in a similar manner, to advance himself?
This is not an excuse. I'm done with this topic. Too much anger here to wade through, . . . but, watch obama closely, I'm afraid he will be faced with some very tough choices and make decisions that are in agreement with much that the salonistas decry.
that some kid in his grandparents' basement would get into more trouble for downloading the latest Madonna single than a president and his evil minions will for committing treason, war crimes and theft.
An example must be made of Bush and his "friends" (including Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reily and Fox News) or we might as well have Henry VIII back on the throne torturing and murdering anyone who folded his shirt the wrong way.
Yemen. Really!
In a stunning contrast to the discussion of US efforts to avoid criminalizing policy differences, the fate of Yemeni prisoners appears to be the biggest current hurdle to closing Guantanamo. As McClatchy reports this morning:
Yemeni officials say they're ready to try many of the men and imprison those who are convicted, but they complain that U.S. officials refuse to share evidence with them.
"Based on the information we have, some of the Guantanamo prisoners have nothing to do with terrorism," said the Yemeni foreign minister, Abu Bakr al Kirbi. "We cannot imprison them without a court sentence. We cannot do something that is against our laws. We are accountable to our own public."
Link at my name.
Perhaps more American citizens need to heed the words of al Kirbi. He knows that the public in Yemen hold their officials accountable. It's too bad the American public doesn't.
... are now arguing (in comments and elsewhere) that all the Good and Important things that Barack Obama is about to do for all of us -- all the Big Problems he's about to fix -- outweigh the need to subject high political officials to the rule of law. ... (GG in update)
This is always the case. The party (either one) always tells the rank and file that political expediency trumps all.
When anything trumps morality, we have lost our way.

Thomas Hardy say: In The Times Of Crumbling Nasturtiums,
plant flowering shrubs, buy a plow mule or donkey. That remain.
All things change. Dreams fade away. Empires tumble. Vines twist.
Underpants smell if politicians poop in congress pews and do zilch.
What remain, one thing id for certain, a old geezer needs a good horse.
On a foggy morning, wake up and stumble over earthen clods, and love.

I was saying the Foggy Bottom Farm Market was on Thursday. It's a Wed-day!
On any day the gardeners come to town it's a happy day. A wagon is stacked high.
The day is more fine that if thee heehaw mules hauled tons of jewell, gold and give away.
I ponder if my brain do wander to old poem authors who save the good mood and foods.
Without the rule of law and the expectation of prosecution there is no other problem able to be fixed, or even anything more than a temporary easing of anger.
With two years of "lets not Impeach" anger has built, and Fascistic powers have built till we are on a knife edge that will lead back to a socialized (as socialized dog) society or fall into an unsocialized morass that in the hallmark of third world countries, and failed states.
Without that socializing force the economic disasters, phony wars, Haditha like massacres, and very much worse is the only possible result. If not this presidency than the next. Because we did not get prosecution of the Iran Contras Crowd, Bill Clinton was not the criminal but he was driven to the ground by impeachment, and Bush two skirted the edge of protofascism.
Obama may not go there but his successor almost definitely will.
