To any reasonable person following the Valerie Plame saga, it's pretty clear that Dick Cheney was at the top of a conspiracy to out Valerie Plame's identity.
Parick Fitrgerald might not be able to prove it in a court of law; or a technicality might mean no laws were broken; or the logistics of prosecuting this conspiracy just might be impossible. But the story is fairly clear, and regardless of any laws it was WRONG.
Moreover, this case is directly related to this un-ending war, which is even more wrong. "Bush's War," it's been called.
So why is James Carville helping the cover-up?
By signing his wife's letter to the judge asking for leniancy, James Carville is joining the cover-up, and furthering the obstruction of justice that began in summer 2003. He has made clear where his allegiance lies, and it is not with Democrats. Many times Carville has said and done things that make progressives roll our eyes; but this is different. This is him clearly acting as an apologist and a participant of the neo-con agenda.
So why in the world is he still on Team Clinton?
Hillary Clinton needs to fire James Carville. He is a traitor, in our midst.
Hillary Clinton needs to be asked: do you support leniancy for Scooter Libby?
Hillary Clinton needs to be asked: do you support getting to the bottom of the Plame leak?
Hillary Clinton needs to be asked: do you support investigating those 16 words in the SOTU address?
Hillary Clinton needs to be asked: is Team Clinton an enabler of Bush's War?
This is just obscene. James Carville needs to be kicked off Team Clinton, and kicked out of the Democratic Party. Enough is enough!
We must demand that Hillary Clinton fire James Carville. This is just ridiculous.
Please use the comments to discuss how we can make these demands heard. We can't let this pass by.
And, I've never asked this before, but please recommend this diary.
Update: Going to Carville's website, it looks like Hillary is not an official client of his. However his close association with Bill and Hillary is a pretty open secret. Thus I have changed the title of this diary from "Hillary should fire James Carville" to "Hillary should distance herself from James Carville".
(P.S. Carville's website is laughable but also scary and intense. Check out his list of corporate clients. Is he the Jack Abramoff of the Clinton machine?)
Beyond that, it inaccurate for the TV shows to turn to Carville for Democratic opinion. With this letter he has concretely proved his neo-convervative sympathies. Any true Dem wants to get to the bottom of Plamegate, and that means holding Scooter responsible. Carville has shown that he doesn't care about Plamegate, which makes me wonder if Hillary cares about Plamegate.
Carville needs to stick with his fat-cat corporate clients and get out of the Democratic community.
