Exposing CIA operatives vs. Exposing the Johnson
(First, thanks to Pete for offering the chance to guest-blog this week. I shall do my level best.)
Republicans are funny people. Not "funny" as in "Chris Rock is funny" but "funny" as in "there's something funny going on here." It's been established by the Republican party that a president getting a hummer from an intern in the Oval Office is a far greater crime than intentionally outing a covert CIA operative for political payback.
Funny. Hysterical, even.
The Democrats in the Senate sent a letter today to the majority leader, "Dr." Bill Frist, demanding a Congressional investigation into the Plame affair. I'm sure it's already been filed under "as if."
But the Dems are having a little "fun" with the situation in their own way. When you're the minority party, you have to do what you can to make your point. My favorite part of this web page is the last two points.
I know it's a lot to hope for, but wouldn't it be great if the populace woke up to staggering corruption and partisanry of the GOP and voted them back into the minority in '06? I have a picture in my mind of Shrub, Rove, Cheney, Rice, Rumsfeld, Libby, and McClellan being frog marched out of the White House and into a US Marshal's van.
Now THAT would be "funny."
