All Of Them Crooks


AWESOME piece over at Kos on the new Republican talking point, "The Criminalization of Politics." Key quote:

"No. No dice, pundit class. Don't give us vapid, amoral, blastfaxed crap about how horrible it is that everyone-on-the-planet- but-the-involved-Republicans are responsible for a certain collection of viciously partisan figures toeing the fine lines of numerous federal laws, and finally losing their balance on a half-dozen of them.

Is this the best face that the Republican Party can put on? Is this the best defense against scandal after scandal -- to ignore the sentenced, defend the indicted, blame the investigtors, and howl at the injustice of it all?

Honestly, what farce."

Damn straight. The Republican leaders are rotten to the core, and blaming those who point it out has passed its experation date. When you see what a sick state the lot of them are, and the dominoes keep falling and behind every one there's a new scandal, another bunch of liars and crooks, there's only so much of that they can spin.

Whether anyone will be indicted in the Plame business should be announced this week, supposedly. I can't wait for this one.
