October 26th, 2005 by JakesgThe Democrats are feasting their eyes, rubbing their hands, and salivating over the potential idictments Fitzmas may bring. The glory of bringing down a few WH aides, tarnishing W’s legacy (in the eyes of his supporters, finally) and forever altering the course of history.
Arianna Huffington commented that Plamegate will be bigger than Watergate because of the massive loss of life (now 2,000 Americans, see Josh’s post below). Keep in mind the Iraqi total is over 26,000. Given that the Democrats have been handed this golden opportunity to launch a platform of “Together, America (or we) can do better,” they must now capatalize on the Republican implosion and corruption.
The message of this particular incident, “Plamegate” must be simple, and directly tied to the Iraq war. Joe Wilson was a critic from the INSIDE, not from the lefty blogosphere. He had contributed $1,000 to elect George W. Bush, and in 2003 wrote a piece condemning the adminsitration’s handling of how they sold the war to the American people. What needs to be on trial here is that Bush, Cheney, and Rove lied to the American people about the neccesity of war, and covered it up with this intentional smear of their critic.
If the Democrats fail to grasp this concept, and sieze this opportunity, the indictments mean nothing, and we have let Bush get away with murder, literally.
