Let’s Not Stop With Scooter

Rob | News, Politics | Tuesday, March 6th, 2007

I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby, Vice president Dick Cheney’s former Chief of Staff, was found guilty on four of five counts against him. Can I get a Woo-Hoo? It is about time someone in this criminal administration was held accountable for their actions. Hopefully Scooter will be the first in a long line of administration officials to be publicly humiliated and sent to jail. Libby faces twenty-five years to life, and I personally hope the judge sends him away for a long time. Some feel Libby is a scapegoat, and in fact the jury expressed “a tremendous amount of sympathy” for him, but I find this sympathy misplaced. Do you think Libby, or any number of other administration pit-bulls, feel sorry for the lives they have ruined? Lets rewind and focus on the root cause of this case — trumped up pre-war intelligence. Is there any sign of sympathy, from the Bush regime, for the thousands of U.S. troops killed or maimed in Iraq — a place they would have never been had the American people not been lied to. Obviously not — unless you consider the refusal of our president to attend a single funeral for a fallen solder or the treatment our wounded have received at Walter Reid as signs of sympathy. And so I hope the judge not only throws the book at Libby, but also that Democratic leadership has the courage to start issuing subpoenas and initiating investigations . And we shouldn’t stop until every rock has been overturned and every slug, worm and parasite has been “smoked out” from their holes in the liars den that is the White House.
