Who is going to be indicted in the CIA leak investigation?

In my opinion its going to be Scooter Libby almost for certain. With luck Rove will get hit with something as well.

I've also read some murmurings that this special investigator is going to pull a Ken Starr and expand his investigation well beyond the initial scope, and start digging into the issue of if we were lied to by the Administration during the ramp up, and justification for the invasion of Iraq.

That would be too good for me to actually hope that it's true.

So who is going down, or are they all getting away clean?

Discuss.

grate.

just when i thought i had digits calmed down a bit.....

When these things happen I never allow myself to hope.
The seriousness of the issue seemed to be inversely proportional to the likelihood that anyone important is going to take the blame.

Probably some poor schmuck will get thrown under the bus.

If a man robs a bank he goes to prison,
if a gang of men rob the whole country AND
spout false dogma and doctrine they usually get away with it, for a while.
They should strip Rove, Bush and Cheney of all the money they stole from us and then exile them to Egypt.
Rove is a thief and a Jihadist by nature, our whole country is becoming like him,
winners and losers,
it's all so mean.

The world bank and the I.M.F. want to increase the value of your home,
they want to improve your water system too,
someday they will add so much value to your life
that you no longer will be able to afford living it.

Oh, I'm sure someone will be indicted, probably Libby and hopefully Rove. Which doesn't amount to jack shit. Yeah, it will make the Bush administration look slightly worse than they already do, but indicting is a far cry from actually getting a conviction. If anyone is convicted, it will probably only be for obstruction of justice, not for knowingly outing an undercover agent.

When has any Politician since Nixon paid any real price for being a corrupt and reprehensible piece of shit? All an indictment will do is add a little substance to what we already know: that they're a corrupt and reprehensible piece of shit. Unfortunately, being a corrupt bastard isn't a crime.

However, even though there will likely be little consequence, I'm hoping they do indict.

What is surprising is that I figured early on the George W would be the fall guy for the rest of them -- the dupe that plays front man. Maybe this will still happen.

I was about to post that Harriet Miers was going to be the one taking the fall.

Then I read this

In Washington that can be a good career move.

Well put,
I signed on to try and say the same thing,
it's what they do, they love this shit,
no offense to anyone who may or may not work for any governmental agency.

I cant' think of a government employee who's career has been helped by Indictment.

I can think of a few who had to change careers after scandal, and proved quite successful in their new career.

Oh, there have been a few who have been indicted, convicted and gone on to hold high government office. Such as...

CG had me pretty much in the reigns of sanity but now...

HOLY MOTHER OF CATS WATCH OUT ONACAUSE THE WORLD IS ABOUT TO...

um...

...

I dunno.

I've been keeping a tight ear to the radio and it's all waaaaay too car-azy to figure out at this point. I watched Hannity and Puffy last night and nearly had to drown myself afterwards!

Ann Coulter is a _____________.

Anyhoo...

I'd put $100.00 (of Monopoly money) on a sole indictment for Rove with a broader investigation to come.

I fear however that the fix is already in and Dick Cheesey won't face any prosecution...

Well, I got that one all wrong...

It's all one hand washing the other...."hey, you take the fall for this, get fired and then we'll rehire you as a govt consultant for ridiculous amounts of money. That govt paycheck ain't squat compared to what you'll make as a consultant and a psuedo-celeb on the book signing/lecture circuit. Some college schmucks will pay you like, $20,000 just to come talk to a graduating class for 7-10 minutes. It's great!"

There is strife in my house,
and in my neighborhood,
and I know why.
I am moved to try and explain, in my own nebulous way,
why what is happening today is so bad for our country, our families and ourselves,
and why decisive action needs to be taken.
Years ago I worked as a traveling jeweler.
I would return to the same district every 6 weeks.
A group of 17 stores did 35 million dollars a year,
that may not seem like a lot today, but back then it was big money.
The district manager was a good friend and
he was cool.
Everyone was happy, happy, happy, everyone worked hard,
the shows went like clock work
we were kings.
One day the D.M. (district manager)
decided to start dating a low ranking employee,
she was hot as hell and
he said his wife didn't mind.
The girl was a dingbat but
sometimes that's as sexy as nearsightedness.
The D.M. (Mr. Cool) was eating it up,
top of the world.
There came a time when I did the shows, and the dingbat had been promoted to assistant manager,
there was strife, there was grumbling
but the teams still worked hard,
after all, we were all making money.
The next time through, she was manager of the biggest store, (went from $7 an hour to 100,000 dollars a year, overnight)
that wasn't so bad except the assistant manager in that store was an expert with 25 years experience and she felt like she deserved the job,
everyone wanted the job, many of them deserved it.
That night the dingbat could not close the register
we didn't get out til after midnight when she got the assistant out of bed to come close it.
The district did roughly half the amount of business on that run,
and instead of whispers of nepotism,
everyone was shouting, fighting, being mean, mostly they were miserable.
6 weeks later, I come through again,
all the good managers have quit,
all the good assistants went away too.
The dingbat was still manager, and she still could not close out a cash register,
the few longtime employees left were ready to riot,
everyone was broke,
no one was making money.
After firing the D.M. and his chippy,
the district started picking up again, it never got back to where it was though.

Until heads role
this country is on a down hill slide
not because of the money they stole
but for what it does to us, inside.
My soul feels cold, is there a breeze in here?

A man will fight harder for his interests than for his rights.

Why you wordy little turd.
That is all you have to say?

The problem is these fucks believe it is their inviolable right to pursue their interests no matter the cost to anyone else.

They need to read "Atlas Shrugged".

They read all that pro Capitalist fiction, they just didn't realize it was fiction.

"Capitalism is the bomb shit".

(GW Bush- 2003 after having a few glasses of Hills)

My apologies, O Master of the Sausages. Please, allow me to elaborate. Upon reading the quote "A man will fight harder for his interests than his rights", I was struck with a sort of grim, cynical, laughter as I realized how tragically true it was. I remembered another quote, namely; "Anyone who gives up freedom for security, deserves neither".

Then, I began to cry womanishly, sopping the tears off my smooth, creamy cheeks with my long, flowing hair. A deep sense of the Cassandra Complex began to pervade my worldview. I knew that, despite my deep empathy for absurdity and paradox, I would be unable to help those poor unfortunate souls stuck in a downward spiral of such deep existential insecurity.

Why must I be burdened with such acuity and perception?!?!? Here I am, supervising the bestial murmurings of my fellow man, powerless to help, like a mighty dentist among the toothless!!!! Oh, it is lonely at the top, my friends!!





I didn't post any more because I didn't want you guys to see me crying.

"... like a mighty dentist among the toothless..."
