Reply #4: What's wrong with these people?? [View All]

It seems to me the defenders of Libby are being very stupid. They can't even produce a decent fall-guy scenario, ie. blame their system wide corruption on one lower-level employee, cut him loose and therefore look like they care about cleaning up corruption. By defending Libby they look like they're protecting one of their own, to hell with justice.

This confirms my belief that most of Washington no longer listens to the general populace at all, but only to the Pundits and paid political consultants. Anna Quinlan called it "the Washington self-referential circle of conventional wisdom". I call it "the Washington Circle Jerk". Eventually, ignoring the wishes of the American people will bite all Washington legislators in the ass.

I guess that's the good news.
