I thought I made it clear the White Water investigation was a joke. I do believe the whole White House gang should be indicted, yesterday. I agree with war crimes, and I'd also include fraud, treason, murder, and violations of human and civil rights. And don't get me started on the money they've stolen, for their friends and contributers. What pisses you off is the Illinois political thing. I'm sorry, but its true. I read the Trib., Sun Times, and Southtown dailey, here outside Chicago. I'd have to be blind to miss the federal investigation. Same guy investigating the Plame leak. (busy guy) Hard to explain, but in Illinois, a large number of repugs and Dems work together behind the scenes. (it helps to know that in Cook County Ill., we have more levels of Gov. than anywhere else in the country) Right now, an ex-Gov.(R) George Ryan is awaiting trial facing the same prosecuter going after Rove, and city hall in Chicago. That Gov. was elected cause he could cut deals with Daley.(and Madigan, and lots of guys) Peter(not Patrick) Fitzgerald screwed up the deal. He was a repub. millionnaire who managed to win a Senate seat, and he didn't owe nobody nothin. As the GOP Senator from the state when Bush won, he got to appoint a prosecuter. He went outside the state(uh-oh) and appointed Patrick(not Peter-no relation)Fitzgerald, a guy who cut his teeth prosecuting mobsters in NYC. This guy(who I hope brings down the White House)doesn't mess around. Anyway, last week, a key longtime bigwig in the city water Dept.(close, close Daley buddy) pleaded out, and is cooperating in the investigation. One of the things this guy(Dem.) did was bring armies of city workers to the burbs to get his son(Rep.) elected DuPage County prosecuter. People have written books on this stuff, Mike Royko being the undisputed best. I suggest you start with The Boss, if you are interested, or if you just want to read a great book. As for myself, I've never voted for a Republican in my life, and I've only skipped the occasional school board election when I didn't feel qualified to vote. I've held my union card proudly for 18 years, and I've poll watched, handed out flyers, walked picket lines, all kinds of fun stuff. I usually just read here, but sometimes I mess up and try to say something. I'm no repub., though.
