In the latest example that the change of the Obama administration is really just chump change (that means crumbs for us chumps) the Eric Holder Justice Department is seeking to free Ted Stevens. This comes via NPR so I don't believe that it's just a cruel April Fool's Day joke. Just go and check it out at Justice Department Seeks to Void Stephens Conviction.
It should come as no surprise that Holder is just another Arlen Specter/Lee Hamilton style political fixer, hell he defended Chiquita's death squads so you have an idea of what sort of insidious insider that this guy is.
You can't say that we weren't warned, his involvement in the pardon of the global financial villain Marc Rich (a thug who transcends partisan trivialities since Scooter Libby was his lawyer) as well as his slimy participation in the cover up of the Oklahoma City bombing/botched sting operation makes him a bonafide cleaner right up there with Winston Wolf of Pulp Fiction.
Jesus have we all been played, at least Ashcroft, Gonzalez and Mukasey were somewhat up front in their duplicity with the criminal oligarchs.
Chalk up another one for the teflon coated shit salesman in the White House and his paymasters. The first few months have been a glorious example of why the cynics are almost always right. Saving the treacherous Wall Steet scum bankers, busting the unions by waging war on GM, the stabbing of Charles Freeman in the back for the Israel Lobby, the coming escalation of the war in Afghanistan, no justice for the Bush war criminals, showing his true face and mocking the handicapped on the Leno show and now this.
Change has come to America alright....get ready for the coming crackdowns courtesy of the unfettered police state that now has left cover.
