same sh_t, different day
I see in the news today that Mr. Karl Rove, known to liberals and Democrats as the antichrist, and to neocons and Republicans as the saviour of civilization will not be prosecuted for his role in the 'outing' of a CIA agent a few years back.
Who here didn't see that coming?
Today, the party on the left is vowing to continue to investigate the situation, desperately hoping to keep the dark cloud that currently hangs over the current administration from breaking up prior to election day. The party runs the risk of looking like whiners and crybabies, (paging Mr. Kerry..........Mr. Kerry....), thus distancing themselves from the appearance of relevancy that fell across them during these tenuous times. Much will be learned about these leader wannabe's in the next few months. Pay attention.
The party on the right, having narrowly escaped a complete disaster, is now gloating and claiming complete absolution, when the bare facts say it just ain't so. (I don't know how or why Mr. Rove appears to be in the clear, but suspect that it is due to a technical reason rather than 'complete' innocense). That outcry from the rightists is threatening, as it may tend to render any objective look at the facts and consequences of the incident as just so much editorial pap by a voting public, (not that they count for anything anyway), that is just sick of the entire mess.
Not a bad strategy, in the absence of any other.
This is a good time to grade your sources of news and information. See how they report and analyze this affair. You might find a reporter, journalist or blogger you can trust.
so there.
