Here is a choice quote from one-time Presidential nomiee Pat Buchanan talking to Imus:
BUCHANAN: I mean, really. I was talking with a friend of mine in the green room last night, and we were talking about this -- you know, the criminalization of politics is appalling. It used to be good enough that you'd go out there, and you beat the guy, fair and square. And he's out for four years, and you have a good laugh. But, now's it's, uh, it's not satisfactory or if you can't beat him, you put him in prison.
No, seriously, Pat. You don't know who created this atmosphere? Look in the mirror, buddy. You and your man Newt Gingrich and his politics of personal destruction against Bill Clinton. Shit, Newt was on Hannity last week frothing at the mouth over Clinton and this bullshit story in some tell-all FBI book. It was like 1996 all over again.
Delay is going down because he broke the law. Frist, going down, broke the law. Karl Rove, Scooter Libby, traitors to the country. Going down. And these are real charges that are important. Not cooked up stuff like a blow job in the White House.
Tom Delay through his actions rigged the Texas elections. Bill Frist had a chief financial stake in a company that was directly impacted by legislation he was authoring. Karl Rove and Scooter Libby outed a CIA operative doing WMD work to protect this country, and in so doing caused the destruction of the WMD operation of which Plame was a part.
This isn't penny anty stuff. These people commit crimes and need to pay for those crimes.
