Yawn.
Is it just me, or is the White House getting predictable?
President Bush, not 24 hours after the federal appeals court ruled without discent that Libby was not entitled to avoid jail (while he was appealing his conviction on four felony charges), lets Scooter of the hook. Never mind the recent, similar decision in a similar case. Never mind law and order. Bush bowed to his hardline base, the only fans he has left. His poll numbers have already long-since sank below Nixon's worst, and things might get worse yet.
The White House issued a lame statement speaking of the considerable fine that remained. Sure, right. A Yale-graduate lawyer, backed by millions in donations by fellow Republicans, should have real trouble paying that fine. Please.
I've tried mightily to present thoughtful arguments here, and be polite, and be even-handed to all sides, but the mountain of hypocracy and bullshit has grown to the point that King Kong might well try to climb it.
Oh, and read this for a hoot:
Had enough yet?
That's my bumber sticker for the day.
