I Want To See a Perp Walk!

Thirty years of life with some real sweethearts, that's what Scooter has facing him. Thirty years of living in a world where those physically bigger than you have their way, thirty years of confinement, of living with bad food, of discomfort, of walls and gates. Doesn't sound like trivia to me, Senator Hutchinson. It sounds like some of the trumped-up charges you and your like never managed to have stick to the Clinton administration. I guess getting a blow job in the Oval Office from a woman not your wife is a much larger crime than endangering national security by lying about your knowledge of the revelation of a CIA agent (they're referred to as agents, not employees). That is commonly referred to as a cover-up, Senator Hutchinson. A cover-up implies there's something that needs covering, in this case, something a bit more important than a spooge stain on a blue dress. The amazing thing, Senator Hutchinson, is that we're hearing exactly the same lines come out of the morally superior Bush White House as we heard come from the inferior Clinton White House, the only difference here is that your party refuses to impeach a failed President who desperately needs it because he's one of your own!

By that, I don't mean a fellow Texan, Senator. Your fellow Texan Tom Delay is in a bit of a pickle due to win-at-all-cost tactics and the lack of a moral compass. Borrowing a page from the Ken Lay playbook, your Senate Majority Leader also is in a good deal of hot water over his sale of family stock just before it tanked. The cover-up trail is going to lead somewhere. Scooter Libbey didn't just lie because he felt like it. At the end of the cover-up trail there's someone to be covered. I wonder who?

For now, I'd be satisfied to see someone perp walked out of the White House. Libbey's resignation has already robbed me of that pleasure. Perhaps Rove? Maybe Cheney? You can't arrest a sitting President, so that leaves my favorite candidate for handcuffs behind the back out but hey, can't have everything. Scooter will probably get a Club Fed anyway and Bush may get the even greater punishment of three years of irrelevance, unless, that is, the Dem's can sweep the Senate next year. Can I hope? I'd still like to see the lies leading up the Iraq war adequately investigated. It would be interesting to me to see how an impeached President leaves the White House.

Anyone want to bet he takes some china?
