I’m sure everyone will be absolutely astonished to discover that when Libby leaked classified information on a CIA agent, he wasn’t doing as some rouge cowboy. Libby has testified that the leak was “specifically authorized” by George. Can you remember the President’s (fake) outrage over the leak & his (untruthful) promise that the person responsible for the leak would be dealt with?

I think the saddest thing is how anti-climactic this is going to be. The whole country knows that the President is a repeated, persistent, & tactical liar. The right has decided that it’s OK to be dishonest as long as it serves their agenda, & left is so weary of shouting & jumping up & down about all the examples of corruption & dishonesty (there are so fucking many) that it’s hard to get excited about yet another example. It's just so predictable.

I am shocked that any member of our government would lie. Must be some vast Al Quaida conspiracy to sow the seeds of discontent. And anyone who says otherwise must be in on it.
Please, make the shame of having a trained monkey as a leader go away. Please, pretty please?
The lying and the indignant attitude about lying has always been part of the plan. As has late night announcement of initiatives, plans and strategies (the attack against condoms, for example) have always been their way of doing business. The Bush Reich always figured that if enough people were stupid enough to elect him to office, then he and his cronies could do whatever they wanted.
The question should not be 'Do You Trust Your Government?', but "Can you Trust the People Who Chose It?". I am lucky enough to able to express my views here, but I am often afraid to speak my mind to many outside my little circle of trust.
There is nothing sweeter than the sound of marching jackboots in the morning!
I'd call louder for impeachment, but that would only put a new face on this horrific monster
