It was a year ago, more or less, that Matt Cooper reported that his source on Valerie Plame was Karl Rove – actually, 4th of July weekend. It’s been a long year waiting – and we still don’t know if Jason Leopold’s recent report that Rove was indicted is correct or not. It was like this last summer, waiting for conformation, waiting while Judy Miller hid in jail, waiting for the meticulous Patrick Fitzgerald to act, waiting for Bush and Cheney’s fibs to be defibbed…
Meanwhile, billions have been spent in Iraq. Hundreds have died there. The governments in Iran and Palistine have roared. Al Qaeda has grown in strength. Gas prices have soared. The meaning of America in the world has eroded beyond repair. Judges of questionable objectivity have been appointed. The NSA has become a local KGB.
Waiting is expensive…
Bush and Cheney couldn’t wait. They were impatient and took us to war based on gross fabrications. They couldn’t wait to change our country to fit their own image of what they wanted it to be, so they skipped the processes by which we live and just did what they wanted to do.
The rest of us must wait for these slow wheels to bring some justice to these dark days. But I guess waiting is worth it, even if the only lesson is that those wheels are slow for a reason – a really, really good reason…
I guess fate is working its way up the food chain. There is so much corruption in the King’s administration. It’s a shame that the King’s courtiers are taking the fall for his pea-brained plans. The King sent out all his men to Iraq and Afghanistan. Over 2437 of his men have not made it home. Maybe the King thinks his subjects are blind.
The King acts as if no one sees what’s going on. Karl Rove has been instrumental in building the Kingdom since 1980 when he directed the losing presidential campaign of the King’s father. Karl Rove has been described as the “Bush Brain” because of his guidance in gaining the King’s successful run for governor in Texas and the White House. But it seems the brain of the King has outsmarted even himself. The brain couldn’t follow a simple principle. Tell the truth.
Now that the King’s brain is on it’s way out. What is to become of the King? You know the old saying, take out the head and the body will follow. With the King’s 29% approval rating the body isn’t too far behind.
We should know by Tuesday at the latest if Leopold is correct. He has multiple sources, as is required for MSM outlets, so he’s at least following their protocol. If it’s true, it’s Happy Fitzmas time!!!
Read this while you are ‘waiting’, M.

hmm. Unless this “Pentagon contract” is yet another forgery, we just have ourselves a neo-slime trail leading to the Office of Special Plans.. (!)
I’v been keeping a somewhat watchful eye on the reportings over on truthout.org and the “Town Hall Meeting and Forum” within that site regarding the potential of an indictment of Karl Rove and a lot of talk about the veracity of Jason Lepopld’s article about same.
I just wonder if anyone has considered the possibility that Mr. Fitzgerald has asked the Grand Jury for indictments and the panel has said, “NO!” In one form or another.
I like others have been eagerly awaiting the indictments and future legal shenanagins, but there may be nothing to await. The Grand Jury panel may well have felt that Mr. Fitzgerald may not have sufficient evidence to warrant even an indictment, or at least not enough so the panel would consider it “likely enough for a trial” that he could have done the deeds the indictment was to have covered. isn’t that all a Grand Jury sits for in the first place?
Also I think it worth noting that this is the second sitting Grand Jury Mr. Fitzgerald has had to use as the other ran it’s time limit with only Mr. Libby being indicted. Nothing much seems to have come from that move either, by the way.
Help me out on this one.
Good to see you return. Hopefully all of the derision I am hearing in the blogotopia about Leopold is wrong.
Ed Schultz (via Carl Levin) ONTO DOUG FEITH! finally.

-Oh, and yesterday, I found a hardback copy of Laurie Mylroie’s BUSH VS. THE BELTWAY for only $2.49 (NEW); slashed (so soon) from the $24.95 tag that it had carried…. Should be good for some shill-sight.. I’ll let you know.
Oops! Darn it!

Still hope holds, but truthout basically blew it, or so it seems.
