So, where is that “liberal” media that the conservative right screams about constantly? It seems like the Plame Investigation has dropped off the radar of most major news coverage. Amazing.
In August of 1972, President Nixon told reporters, “no one in the White House staff, no one in this administration, presently employed, was involved in this very bizarre incident.”
Sounds eerily familiar doesn’t it?
The cast of administration characters with known connections to the outing of an undercover CIA agent:
Karl Rove
I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby
Condoleezza Rice
Stephen Hadley
Andrew Card
Alberto Gonzales
Mary Matalin
Ari Fleischer
Susan Ralston
Israel Hernandez
John Hannah
Scott McClellan
Dan Bartlett
Claire Buchan
Catherine Martin
Colin Powell
Karen Hughes
Adam Levine
Bob Joseph
Vice President Dick Cheney
President George W. Bush
What I would really love right now is for any Republican to defend what the current administration has been doing. Explain to me what good has come from the last five years of Bush’s authoritarian rule.
Not to mention the fact that we also learned that this White House has put someone named “Scooter” in a position of power! If you have a name that could have come from the “Little Rascals”, you should be off the list, O-tay Buckwheat!
Americans can be soooo naive sometimes.
The Grand Jury expires at the end of either September or October, so expect the story to return then, especially if (as seems likely) indictments of senior administration officials are handed down.
