ANOTHER MISSION ACCOMPLISHED

By Peter Fredson

July 3, 2007

It is no surprise. Everyone expected some stupid action from our Heroic Leader, and it came. Bush just commuted the sentence of Scooter Libby, before he served even one day of time. He said that poor Scooter’s sentence was “excessive”, “harsh” for outing CIA agent Valerie Wilson. His heart evidently bleeds for injustice to his cronies, although he seems to see no harsh or excessive penalties in thousands of other cases around the nation. For instance, consensual sex can get a dozen years in jail, but outing a CIA agent, lying to Federal prosecutors merits no jail at all.

But of course Bush is merely courting his fundamentalist Republican base. They are pretty sore at him right now for his stand on immigration and a half dozen other issues. His polls show him at the lowest point in his career, so he figured that he had nothing to lose.

Just about all the Republican candidates for the 2008 Presidency said they approved setting Scooter free. Bush and Cheney figure that they will shut up Scooter by clemency and that he will not turn into a Deep Throat later.

Bush himself can lie to the entire nation, time after time, and his loyal base will swallow all the lies, as though they were covered with chocolate. He can cover up his own illegalities time after time, and few Republican congresspeople will even comment on his transgressions. We hope that the enablers of Bush will be swept away in 2008, but for now we still must suffer about 500 days of Bush arrogance, lies, deceit and errors of judgement.
