And I think there's an enormous level of schadenfreude leavening Blogistan's judgement antennae. Short of lining Turd Blossom up against the wall, just about anything Fitzgerald does may fall short of Bush-hater fantasies. It's not enough to merely humiliate them; we want these bastards <I>gone</I>, driven from office, never to return.<BR/><BR/>However, I do objectively, seriously believe that Fitzgerald will bring down something of real import within the next few days. I also believe that Novakula has remained unscathed because he worked a deal way back when. These are common beliefs, obviously.<BR/><BR/>I also believe that certain nodes of the MSM (Russert, Matthews, Mitchell) are co-opted in all this, not only because they happen to work for a defense contractor that's profiting handsomely from all these lies we were spoon-fed, but because they've been corrupted by their high-flying, star-fucking celebrojournamalista lifestyles. They go to the swanky parties; they brush elbows with the power brokers; they trade bon mots with other swells over watered-down appletinis.<BR/><BR/>They don't want to lose their Beautiful People status, which they think they have worked so very hard for. Whores are funny that way.<BR/><BR/>I seriously think that, aside from blowing the doors off this corrupt administration, a huge civic function of this scandal would be if it helped remind these assholes that they're <I>supposed</I> to be objective journalists, and that they need to extricate their noses from the asses of these scumbags. If they wanted to get paid millions of dollars for sitting around and stroking each other, they should have become baseball players.Heywood J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05627748699423939682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9908604.post-1129789473551028652005-10-19T23:24:00.000-07:002005-10-19T23:24:00.000-07:00Interrobang:Thanks.

Ordinarily I would say that some of it rubbed off, but I've always been this rude and mean-spirited.<BR/><BR/>But in a <I>good</I> way.Heywood J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05627748699423939682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9908604.post-1129778359948999802005-10-19T20:19:00.000-07:002005-10-19T20:19:00.000-07:00Undeniably, a concerted group of bloggers has been...Undeniably, a concerted group of bloggers has been driving forward the effort to pay close attention to this unfolding Watergate II; but I still think that's not enough. the old bitches in the MSM need to show that they're truly recovered their spine (if that's true, as the say on the internets), and mercilessly follow up this whole debacle. I still have friends (American friends, I must say) who read the newspapers regularly, are much smarter than me, yet continue to believe that St Judy of W43rd St went to jail to protect her First Amendment rights. That's not a good sign. They believe the only culprit in this mess is that old bitch Bob Novak. True, Keith Olberman, bless him, has been valiantly trying to keep us posted about this whole Plamegate thing. But that's about it, as far as I can tell. <BR/><BR/>What's the deal with Novak, by the way? I haven't seen Jane Hamsher or the other ardent dissecting intellects following this story tell us anything substantial about what Novak's role in this investigation. After all, he is the one guy who clearly came out and blew Valerie Plame's NOC cover. Has he bent over, like the bitch that he is? Has he been flipped? Was he let go scot-free? If so, why? <BR/><BR/>--MariusAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9908604.post-1129775395163636492005-10-19T19:29:00.000-07:002005-10-19T19:29:00.000-07:00Heywood -- That's hysterical.
