What a pitiful shame! Now, a grown man, plagued growing up with a name like Scooter, has a new moniker......the Patsy! Destined to take the fall for a powerful, vindictive, ex-CEO of Haliburton, Scooter Libby sold his soul to the devil to protect his boss, Dick Cheney. Now, it appears he will go to prison and be forever labeled a convicted felon.
Dick Cheney, as always, let's someone else take the blame for his incompetence and criminal behavior. That's what money and power can do. It makes a man so narcissistic, even he himself refuses to take blame for an act of treason he perpetrated. What kind of man let's a friend take the fall for him? I'm sure it will cost him millions of dollars in future payments to Libby, but that is a drop in the bucket for a man of Cheney's wealth.....the cost of keeping one's wardrobe in colors other than orange! And Libby, who's future is now taken care of, doesn't mind being labelled a patsy........as long as it is accompanied by the requisite amount of zeroes on his paycheck.
Sounds like a script for a thriller, huh? But, this has taken place in the wonderful world of reality... in OUR whitehouse.....OUR government. The president who vowed to restore honesty and integrity to our government, did nothing, as alweays. These people are criminals, common pond scum......with money and power. Is there any facet of American integrity they have not soiled?
Already labelled as the worst administration in history, they seem to be trying to "one up" even that moniker. Are there any lengths they will not go to be the "worst"?
The sad thing is, we're not even appalled. We have come to expect such acts from our government leaders... a gift from the Bushes. If ever there was a time for impeachment of an American president....it is now. If ever there was an adminstration who deserved to rot in prison, this is it.
