Bill Moyers: Fans of Libby

"BILL MOYERS: One beltway insider is quoted saying the neo-cons are "weighted down by the sheer, glaring unfairness" of Libby's sentence. And there's the rub. None seem the least weighted down by the sheer, glaring unfairness of sentencing soldiers to repeated and longer tours of duty in a war induced by deception. It was left to the hawkish academic Fouad Ajami to state it baldly, as he pleaded on the editorial page of the Wall Street Journal for Bush to pardon Libby. For believing "in the nobility of this war," wrote Ajami, Scooter Libby had himself become a "casualty" -- a fallen soldier the president dare not leave behind on the beltway battlefield. Not a word in the entire article about the real fallen soldiers. The honest-to-god dead and dying and wounded. Not a word about the chaos or the cost. All the beltway warriors can muster is a plea of mercy for one of their own who lied to cover their tracks. There are contrarian voices.

PATRICK BUCHANAN: This is an open and shut case of perjury and obstruction of justice. And the Republican party, you know, stands for the idea that high officials should not be lying to special investigators.

BILL MOYERS: And from the former Governor of Virginia, James Gilmore, a staunch conservative, comes this verdict: "If the public believes there's one law for a certain group of people in high places and another law for regular people, then you will destroy the law and destroy the system." So it may well be, as the Hartford Courant said editorially, that Mr. Libby is "a nice guy, a loyal and devoted patriot"...but none of that excuses perjury or obstruction of justice. If it did, truth wouldn't matter much."

Thanks for that visual....

Bush a third term?


AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH

Age of Anne Over, I doubt it

How dare you be too poor to leave before Katrina struck

The vile just keeps seeping out of the CPAC convention. Newt Gingrich wants the victims to be investigated.

How dare you people be subjected to institutional economic racism.

How dare you people be not be smart enough not to move out of a state where the educational system is deplorable.

How dare you people not have the money or the transportation to leave the state when the storm warnings came.

How dare you people to work at below slave wages and have no disposable income.

How dare you as a people be so poor and so black that you put the spotlight on this country's contempt for you.

How dare you people not to be able to anticipate the magnitude of the storm.

How dare you people expect help to come in the form of your government.

How dare you people expect millions of tax dollars not to be pissed away through fraud and malfeasance.

How dare you people not to sit in the boardrooms where decisions are made to outsource your jobs

How dare you people make rich white people uncomfortable enough to be shamed but not shamed enough to do something to ease your pain.

How dare you people not having the courtesy or luxury to be born white and rich in our wonderful country.

How dare you..........Newt Gingrich

Ugly Face of the Republicans

Annie Coulter is the face of the Republican party. Those old coots remind me of the dorks who fawned all over the mean skinny cheerleader who made them do her homework. Then refused to be seen in public with them. How pathetic...

It wasn't until the grassroots drumbeat forced the MSM to even mention it. Of course it wasn't a lead story on the tube. The top newpapers buried in the newspaper.

These same talking heads droned all for weeks about John Kerry's poorly delivered joke. Where is the outrage? Where is the apology?

Ah, to be tall, thin, bottle blonde and nasty, automatic free pass.
