Message to Patrick Fitzgerald: Shut down this Bullshit Investigation!

[kentuck]

You are getting too close. Especially since Gonzales broke down and spilled his guts on CBS and FOX over the weekend. You are getting too damn close to our protected and esteemed Leader. So shut it down, Bucko. We don't want to hurt you or your family. But we will do whatever we have to do to protect ourselves. Bring this to a close....and quickly. Comprendez vous?

1. I'd have believed you, but you used French.

That'll be the day a Bushie uses French for anything. Hell, they're still learning English!

Kind of an interactive reality movie.:popcorn:

2. Fitzgerald has heard this line before -- from mobsters

He's got experience fighting mobsters and won't back down. The White House doesn't have experience fighting attorney generals with courage and integrity.

[Walt Starr]

4. He's heard it from terrorists, too

Mobsters and terrorists as his training ground before going after these bastards.

He has all the necessary skillsets.

6. A sure way to bring out an Irishman's stubborn streak

We'll see just how "independent" Mr. Fitzgerald's independent investigation is. The Republicans have a history, though, of letting investigations go just long enough before issuing a bunch of pardons to the prime movers and shakers in their little schemes. For proof, I go right back to George Bush the Elder's lame duck 1992 Christmas Eve pardons of Caspar Weinberger, Eliot Abrams and others just before their criminal case on Iran/contra was to go to trial. The pardons decapitated the investigation, and Lawrence Walsh's work was mostly for nothing.

If they hold true to form, look for the Bushistas to string things along and extend the investigation until just after the 2006 elections when Stupidhead will pardon everyone from Rove to Novak.

8. I wonder how pardons for treasonous acts will go over with

the American people. Has anyone been pardoned for committing treason?

[Ganja Ninja]

10. Yup! That's the way they operate.

Expect that even if Rove is charged he won't be fired or forced to resign. Bush will claim he deserves his day in court and that everyone is innocent until prooven guilty. Then they will postpone things as long as they need to and then break out the pardon pen when public opinion doesn't matter to them re: Dec/2006.
