The Beginnings of Justice

Injustice is relatively easy to bear; what stings is justice.
H. L. Mencken (1880–1956), U.S. journalist

Rather than just having Vice Presidential Adviser I. Lewis "Scooter' Libby Jr. indicted on obstruction of justice, false statement and perjury charges, real justice would be if it were the president who was charged on such counts and then impeached.

Update: Libby resigned and left the White House. I wonder if they will hire him as a consultant equal to his full pay, similar to what they have done with the former FEMA Director Brown.

Rags, I agree. I think history will show this administration/gang to be not only corrupt, but moved the democracy/republic toward very dangerous territory.

Not surprised to see this, but I am not so sure that he is going to find a benefactor either.

Absolutely nothing will happen to Libby or Rove because Bush will pardon the whole gang, if need be. They have nothing to worry about. Even if Libby is not hired as a consultant by the White House there are many Bush/Cheney friendly corporations that will take good care of any exiles from this gang.

I don't think Scooter's going to have to worry about where his next meal is coming from.
