Again, Gonzo?s DOJ is attempting to assert it is on Constitutionally solid ground; meanwhile, the White House is tossing white doves to GOP members of the House, trying to assure them they?re not going to be raided.
In other words, this was a bloated assault to divert media focus onto one, solitary Dem who happened to take a measly $100,000 ? during a period when his Republican colleagues were amassing ungawdly wealth at massive taxpayer losses. It?s kind of interesting that not one of those crooked-beyond-belief GOP lawbreakers on the Hill ever became the subject of such intense scrutiny.
But, if GOP members aren?t in danger of having their monetary affairs examined, who leaked the report to ABC News that Speaker of the House Hastert was being investigated for his ties to Abramoff? Perhaps ?Rovetribution? for not keeping the House Republicans in lockstep, plus taking sides with the Democratic enemy in daring to call out the Regime and DOJ for the lawless miscreants they truly are.
A reader poll was included at the article?s conclusion:
?Dangerous Parallel: Is Iran turning into the new Nazi Germany? Share your opinion online??
Despite its initial confirmation by the Simon Wiesenthal Center, the story was officially revealed as unfounded.
One look at King George?s record and policies, under the guidance of Herr Rove, with Gonzo running interference, and it?s easy to see which Regime more reflects being on track to be the Fourth Reich.
As if this Regime isn?t far enough to the right, Herr Oberst Karl Rove is bringing another Karl-with-a-K into the elite White House Gruppe Aufsehern (Bunch of Overseers). Since Policy Advisor Claude A. Allen was caught swindling discount stores in a ?return item switch? scam last February, no person has held the job. It was recently announced that on June 12 American Enterprise Institute scholar and editor Karl Zinsmeister would take over the position.
Karl #2 has written three books defending the Iraq war, calling it a noble effort. Wow! That?s a book a year! He?s also written articles commending the efficiency of Wal-Mart operations ? no unions, no retirement plan, no medical plan, locking employees in overnight, strong-arming suppliers to sell below cost, etc. This guy sounds like a real charmer. (It was a Wal-Mart competitor, Target, where Allen was caught scamming.)
Incidentally, AEI is the lockstep organization where Herr Rove gave a policy speech last week?
Just when I thought it couldn?t get any worse, an employee of the Department of Veterans Affairs managed to let personal data of 26,500,000 of my fellow post-VietNam-era vets and me get in the wind. One of the very first, most fundamental concepts the military teaches everyone in basic training or boot camp is the extreme importance of secrecy.
Keep whatever you know to yourself.
Period.
If you work with secret documents, do not for any reason take them home.
Especially when there?s been a rash of break-ins in your neighborhood!
