I'm sick and tired of PlameGate.
Not that I don't want Fitz to get Rove. I do I do!
And Miller while he's at it, too.
(Armando, knowing what you now know, have you changed your mind about Miller deserving to be thrown in the slammer?)
But the reason I'm sick and tired of PlameGate is...
(to be continued below fold.)
The reason I'm sick and tired of PlameGate is because it shows that America cares more about investigating the damage done to a CIA agent (a CIA agent for God's sake!!!) than the meretricious behavior of its own governmenr that led it to kill hundreds of thousand innocent civilians.
The world burns while its gleeful and mostly unrepentant arsonist fiddles.
What is the case here? Damage to some of America's "assets". I'll give you "assets" you bastards, I feel like screaming.
I do not consider getting Rove better than nothing, or a blow for our side.
Instead, it speaks to America's self-centeredness and publicly exposes its inability to just DO THE RIGHT THING.
You want to help Al Qaeda (America Delenda Est 'R Us) by all means let's continue that orgy of nit picking.
I suppose at this point, realistically, we might as well hope Rove gets it, but the whole thing is one more example of the sickness of our society in the eyes of the world.
A leper picking at one of its boils.
