"Broad Deception" ... Isn't That Bu$hCo Basics?

At times I admittedly see the highball as half empty. I was a bit saddened to see that Team Scooter had stalled his trial until after this fall’s elections. It might have helped knock off some ReThugs to have had the first of what might be many court proceedings involving Bu$hCo’s dirty dealings in the news. I think it half full however after reading in the WaPo this morning of The Wall Street Journal obtaining a sealed opinion Circuit Judge David S. Tatel issued in February 2005 when it was Miller Time. Analyzing the memo and doing some more scratching about, Carol D. Leonnig gives us More Allegations of Libby Lies Revealed: Judge's Report Shows Cheney Aide Is Accused Of Broad Deception.

Dick may be especially grumpy these next few days yet Lynne can remind him that Scooter will not be in the dock until January of 2007. I know delays are part of the practice yet can’t help but think of my old Daddy’s saying, “Two continuances are as good as an acquittal.” In this case, as long as it is past November of 2006, at least the Preznit can perhaps pardon with less damage. David Johnson of the New York Times also has a take on the article that doesn’t bode well for The Architect.

Also, Plaidsters might want to read Murray Wass of The National Journal for a recent summary (February 6, 2006) of the whole mess of PlameGate. Wass is also blogging over at HuffPo. And then we have Downing #2 that seems to suggest Bu$h and his BFF Blair were talking about invading Iraq regardless of what the Un inspectors reported.

Wouldn’t it be nice to get Snotty Scotty or Our Leader or Big Bad Dick to respond to real questions about all of this! Dan Froomkin of the WaPo offers his own fantasy via his “White House Briefing” titled It’s the Credibility Stupid on this ... on plenty of others.

Here’s hoping Joe Sixpack can find time during Stupor Bowl weekend to notice some of this mess. Give them bread and games! The Captain gives you “Peace … or War!”
