Return of the Press Secretary!

Funny how the kid who just follows orders, in corner is rendered insignificant. How fitting if Cheney lands in jail based on the testimony of the not so bright loyal one.

We all know, Libby took one for the team. He was just protecting Cheney. I'm sure he has stock in Haliburton or Black Water so his finances are set.

Go get 'em Scott!

How about a man who is woman enough?

"Even in an era when male politicians can mist up with impunity, it was startling to see the defense chief melt down at a Marine Corps dinner Wednesday night as he talked about writing notes every evening to the families of dead soldiers like Douglas Zembiec, a heroic Marine commander known as “the Lion of Falluja,” who died in Baghdad in May after giving up a Pentagon job to go on a fourth tour of Iraq. “They are not names on a press release or numbers updated on a Web page,” he said. “They are our country’s sons and daughters.”

The dramatic moment was disconcerting, because Mr. Gates, known as a decent guy who was leery of the Bushies’ black-and-white, bullying worldview, has clearly been worn down by his effort to sort out the Iraq debacle. He and Condi, who worked together under Bush I, have been trying to circumvent the vice president to close Gitmo without much success, while the president finds ingenious new ways to allow torture.

Mostly, though, it was moving — a relief to see a top official acknowledge the awful cost of this war. The arrogant Rummy was dismissive. The obtuse W. seems incapable of understanding how inappropriate his sunny spirits are. And the callous Cheney’s robo-aggression continues unabated. (What could be more nerve-racking than the thought of President Cheney, slated to happen for a couple of hours yesterday while Mr. Bush had a colonoscopy? Could it be — a Medal of Freedom for Scooter?)

Mr. Gates captured the sadness we feel about American kids trapped in a desert waiting to be blown up, sent there by men who once refused to go to a warped war themselves."

Cheney Fatigue

"It seems Cheney fatigue is settling in some Republican circles.

Republican strategist Rich Galen, who worked for both Bush and Bush's father, said he is finding less interest or enthusiasm for Cheney. "Republicans have, in essence, moved on and focused on who to get behind in 2008," Galen said.'

Its about time. Cheney wore the rest of us out long time ago.

Archivists the new Acccountants?

Dowd:

"I love that Cheney was able to bully Colin Powell, Pentagon generals and George Tenet when drumming up his fake case for war, but when he tried to push around the little guys, the National Archive data collectors — I’m visualizing dedicated “We the People” wonky types with glasses and pocket protectors — they pushed back.

Archivists are the new macho heroes of Washington."


It took accountants and a dose of syphilis to end Capone's reign of terror. Will Cheney be finally be stopped by a group of archivists?

A friend in need....

Scooter Libby was a loyal servant, if not to the administration, to Lord Cheney. After being convicted of lying to the FBI, Lord Cheney has "not had the occasion" to speak with Scooter.

It is bad enough Lord Cheney is in a happy place about this war he manufactured. He could at least buy Scooter a decent cup of coffee before he starts serving his time in Club Fed.

You may not like the mob but they have their own set of rules.

HHHHMMM this does sound like the current WH occupants.
