SMELLING BLOOD — by Steve Nadis
Last month in the Boston Phoenix, media columnist Mark Jurkowitz wrote: “journalists now smell blood in the waters of Bush’s troubled second term.” And this was before the Harriet Miers fiasco, the Scooter Libby embarrassment, and the ongoing investigation into the Valerie Plame leak case. I, too, am smelling blood and (without sounding too violent) would like to see some heads roll, especially the big fat ones belonging to Karl Rove and Dick Cheney. Wouldn’t that be special, to paraphrase the Church Lady.
While it’s true the deceit involved in this case pales in comparison to other lies told by Bush and his surrogates (superiors?), the infractions are indeed major compared to the lies Clinton told about his relationship (and relations) with a former White House intern. I can’t believe this business started and ended with the “Scooter.” But from what I’ve heard, Patrick (“Fearless”) Fitzgerald just might be the man to determine how far, and how high, this thing goes.

I’m with you. Get the darned a$$es. I’m so over this whole last term. And it’s just started.
Maybe the pundits who say no one else will be indicted are right, but I still have hopes that they’ll go after Cheney. Personally I find it hard to believe he was not involved. I can’t imagine such a powerful evildoer would give his henchman too much autonomy.
I agree Snake. He’s too much of a control freak to let them do it all on their own.
I’m glad we’re agreed. Now let’s bring that bastard down…
How can you take any adult seriously who goes by the name of "Scooter"? Come on, that should have been the first and most important clue that this guy wasn’t a great candidate for the job.
Hey Roses — I’ve never met any "Scooters." Does that mean I travel in the wrong or right circles?
i agree with you!
