For months now, my article entitled, Valerie Plame’s Fair Game Released Nationwide (Trailer) – REPOST has been on the top of the “top posts” list for this blog.
Personally, I can understand the mystique and the lure of the Plame case. Mainly because there was unfinished business. Karl Rove and others in the White House literally got off scott free for what I consider to be an abominable offense against an undercover CIA officer by exposing her identity to several news sources. We know that Scooter Libby was in fact the “fall guy” in this sordid and dirty episode of partisan politics and hubris during the Bush years.
The New York Times has a complete archive of every major event in the Valerie Plame debacle. For those who want more information on this really sad part of our history during the run-up of the Iraq war, you’ll find the site will have a treasure trove of information, documents and pictures on the case from beginning to end.

Cheney and the Goat Devil
One of the great mysteries of the Bush presidency is whether W. ever had an epiphany when he realized that he had been manipulated by Dick Cheney, and if it ever hit him that he trusted the wrong father figure.

In a nutshell, The Bush administration, was an abomination. I knew from the time that the Supreme Court, made him the president, that the next four which turned into 8 years of wrecking and trying to dismantle the constitution, the Patriot Act, and all this other bullshit, that they was doing to us.
I’ve always said that Cheney ran the White House, not George W. He was just a puppet.
It still makes me ill to hear about, write about or talk about those horrific eight years of the Bush administration.
