I couldn’t resist – I delved into the Kos dungeons to seek out a juicy reaction to Fiske, and I came up with a doozy. And we’re off! - - -

Because its so obvious that Rove, Bush and Cheney are all guilty of obstruction of justice

Well, thatÂ’s new. Fitz said its done. Before that I thought it was perjury. And before that, conservatism. And before that, effectiveness.

that it boggles the mind how people lose sight of the forest for the trees.

YouÂ’re still washing dishes with Merry and Pippin back in the shire, dear friend.

Have they changed the testimonial oath to "tell the whole truth?"

Nope – Rove didn’t rewrite it with his arcane powers. Much.

Has that part been deleted? Why is that part of the oath never taken seriously, even by prosecutors?

Kenn Starr (I know, I know. I had to do it. It was a hanging curve).

I guess it's just a quaint, pious relic.

Or one less “weapon” in your war on “BushCo.”

So, even though they all three have known what's been going on for three years, it's just fine that they can stand there, arms folded, saying "come and get me if you can, sucker!" ??

Is that what was written by the Rove/Luskin team in the filings? Well, IÂ’ll be a monkeyÂ’s uncleÂ…

This is appalling, and any D.C. jury, and many Main Street USA juries, would find them guilty.

DC? Is that because the courts there are reliably, I donÂ’t know, BLUE in color?

I'll steer clear of any fascist rhetoric—

Well, THAT'S a reliefÂ…

Fitzgerald is obviously a fact hound

Gee. A prosecutor looking for facts. IMAGINE THAT.

and has gotten bogged down in minutiae,

(translation: facts)

figuring that even though it should be a crime to out a CIA agent, it really isn't

So you want an indictment on something you think should be a crime? Any other tyrannical notions youÂ’d like to entertain today? ItÂ’s statements like that one that make me glad the Founding Fathers wrote that pesky little thing called the Constitution.

because a) the 1917 Espionage Act is too much of a reach

You mean the law is too much of a reach for a nonsensical “case” like the one against Rove? Ha!

and b) the Intelligence Identities Act is too narrowly written and sets the bar too high.

Damn laws!

Why is the bar so nit-pickingly high?

It wasnÂ’t. Plame wasnÂ’t a covert agent. ThatÂ’s what this is all about, you nincompoop!

The clear and obvious circumstances

Â…which seem to be escaping youÂ…

of the whole disgraceful affair are plain for all to see.

Apparently not to Fitzgerald – your version of the affair, that is. I’d bet he’s a little closer to the action than you are. Call me crazy.

BushCo has stonewalled for years, and they are getting away with it, just like they've gotten away with all their other crimes.

Oh yeah. All of those mythical, illusive crimes floating mysteriously in the ether, just impending the hell out of everything.

It really, really is a bad precedent to allow a criminal to have free rein in the White House.

ThatÂ’s why Bush was voted in, silly.

Why can't people see it?

IÂ’ll leave you to come up with an answer for that one.
