[politics] tick, tick, tick, tick...

So - how directly were Bush and Cheney involved in the Plame scandal? According to George Stephanopolous, the answer is, well, quite directly. tick, tick, tick... Ka-BOOM! Oooh, that's gonna leave a mark... We'll see. Personally, I do think it goes fairly high up the food chain - and it would be entirely in keeping with both the style and substance of this kleptocracy administration - but there's nothing like a privileged position to provide a whole lot of protection. Anyone who winds up in an orange jumpsuit will promptly be pardoned. Is anyone else acutely aware of the irony of this kleptocracy administration being the ones who were going to restore dignity to the office of the President? Anyone else remember that analysis? I don't suppose there're any pundits out there who'd care to revisit that little hypothesis, are there? <crickets state="chirping" /> No, I didn't think so.
