how exactly is it that you, powerclown--and the bush administration as well--have managed to collapse the political fallout from this entirely into the minutae of a legal investigation the parameters of which no-one actually knows about yet?
how did it happen that everyone who supports the administration acts as though what is being debated is a trial?
the strategy seems to be pretend that there is no such thing as the political, cut directly to a nebulous pseudo-legal environment and repeat the same claims oriented toward that environment over and over and over.
within that space, it seems to me that the right makes clinton look like a piker in their ability to collapse registers and thread speculative legal arguments rooted in a definition-narrowing operation that any crackhead would recognize and even admire for its virtuosity....
i remember----as i am sure you do, powerclown-----the same political operatives making up a murder (vince foster) and putting clinton and his wife on trial for it day after day across the medium of right radio when they were in opposition.
so in this case, we are being asked to take seriously the masters of reactionary sleaze a decade ago when they now try to present themselves as the Defenders of Propriety here....
how does that work?
what is interesting in all this is that the critiques of rove are almost across the board far more measured, far less wanton, than any parallel sleaze campaign organized by the right and directed against their Enemies.
you're an intelligent guy, powerclown: why does this not make you feel as though your head is going to explode?
