I Can't Believe I Have To Do This

OK, I'm going to comment on the Libby issue.




We all need some perspective.


First of all the big prize for the Left would have been a Karl Rove indictment for outing CIA operative Valerie Plame.

That didn't happen.

Early reports were saying that Libby got Martha'd.

As in Martha Stewart.

That's funny, basically saying, we can't prove the case we set out to prove, but we can get you on leading us in the wrong direction in the pursuit of the investigation of the real charge we were trying to prove.

Confused? So was Martha.


I just want to note a few things about this whole situation.

Have you noticed the that nobody from the Right is bashing Patrick Fitzgerald?

They're not, because he is competent, inteligent, and capable.

If Libby screwed up, he should be prosecuted, and Fitzpatrick is the guy to do it.
Do you remember how the Clinton indictment went?

The left went insane about calling Kenneth Starr sex-infatuated, and politically motivated, anything they could to discredit him.

Try this test.

Go talk to a few people that may not follow the news very closely.

Ask them if they know the name Kenneth Starr.

Then ask them if they know the name Patrick Fitzgerald.
People will undoubtably know the name Kenneth Starr before Patrick Fitzgerald.

The Right, including the Right Media, is allowing Fitzgerald to do his job.

The Left and the media, pulled out all the stops to attack Starr.

Here's my test.

Do you remember Sandy Berger?

If you do, give yourself an A.

if not...

Former President Clinton's national security adviser is under criminal investigation for taking highly classified terrorism documents that should have been turned over to the independent commission probing the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks...

...Berger and his lawyer said Monday night he knowingly removed the handwritten notes by placing them in his jacket, pants and socks, and also inadvertently took copies of actual classified documents in a leather portfolio.

Hmm..., stealing sensitive documents to protect his own ass after 9/11, oh, and BTW, Clinton too.

How much news coverage did that get?

Obviously not enough, because I know not many of you remember Berger.

The charges againt Libby are serious, and he did the right thing and resigned.

Clinton did not do the right thing.

Clinton and the left keep saying that he was found innocent of the charges of perjury and obstruction...

....but he was disbarred in Arkansas, which automatically suspended him from the Supreme Court Bar, which he resigned altogether to avoid the reinstatement process, and had to pay a fine of $90,000.00.

That sounds like a man that cut a deal, not a man that was innocent.
