Libbygate; Cheneygate; Bushgate, Watergate

I know,  Scooter Libby has not been tried and found guilty, but humor me for a moment.

Since the reign  of Richard Nixon, the pundits have attached a 'gate' to every scandal that came along.  None of theses transgressions, perhaps with the exception of Iran Contragate, deserved to be placed in the same class with Watergate.

Finally we have treachery and crime, of Nixonian proportions. Reaching up into the White House where confidants of the President and the Vice President committed treasonous acts and shredding, trampling , and desecrating the Constitution we have the Bush ignobility to measure against Nixon.

Once again a President is marching down a dangerous path pursuing an unpopular war, fertilized by lies and deception.  The American people no longer buy the nonsense that things are going well.

The Administration, watching support rapidly deteriorating in the center is targeting enemies who question the War.  Is it Vietnam or Iraq?  No that is no the question.  The questions for the President and Vice President are What did they know and When did they know it?

The question for the American people is, "How much more of this is going on?"

This is going to get even better. Compared to this, Watergate WAS a third rate burglary.

Either more indictments are coming (including Cheney and Bush as unindicted co-conspirators) or we have a federal prosecutor engaging in a criminal conspiracy to protect the President and Vice President of the US.

Here’s what Fitzgerald knows but won’t say: (1) Official A is Bush. (2) Cheney and Libby and others discussed and agreed to a plan to discredit Wilson (and send a chilling message to others) by outing Plante on the plane to Norfolk. (3) Bush knew of the plan and approved it. (4) Libby’s revelations to reporters later that same day were acts in furtherance of the conspiracy. That’s more than probable cause for indictments.

Fitzgerald investigated this for 2 years. The baseball analogy sucks for no more reason than he’s much too smart to believe it himself. Why does he think I should buy it?

The proof of Bush and Cheney’s involvement is their defense of Libby. This is not accepting seven freezers. If Bush and Cheney are not co-conspirators, there’s no good political reason to defend him given the rest of the deep political shit Bush is in.

Bush’s ONLY real choice is for Cheney to take the fall and resign. If this doesn’t happen soon, there will be impeachment hearings for Bush and Cheney. Maybe you should find a congressional district with an incumbent Republican and take out papers.
