SwamiDude looks in his crystal ball and tells you what really happened. Rove gets on the phone with a few reporters and says essentially this:
"This Wilson guy's a twat. We send him over to Niger on a matter of national security, and he sits around a five-star hotel pool drinking mai-tais for a few days. Now he mouths off in the papers acting like some sort of expert.
Look, we only hired him because his wife's in the government someplace and recommended him. But don't take my word for it. Check around with some other sources, it's common knowledge."
Now, this was worse than Watergate.
Geez. I thought I was kidding about the pool.
Better put the crystal ball away before another CIA "operative" gets outed.
Yes, yes, Nixon was a saint, Watergate a set-up, Iran-Contra was vital to national security, Reagan brought down the Soviet Union, Bush '41 didn't lie about those satelite pix, Clinton's blowjob was the worst crime in American history, Bush '43 is defending God, Mom and apple pie in Iraq...
I know, I know. I'm as sick as you are that the liberal media deny these home truths. How it is that they've stopped talking about the heinous crimes of Slick Willie a mere six years, one stolen election and one unjust war after he left the country devistated by peace and prosperity is simply beyond me...
But perhaps if we just keep repeating these things...over...and over...and over...and over again, then they'll become true.
It's what the Ministry of Truth would do.
Ouch. The dreaded laundry list. Nuclear winter.
So there.
I think the real point is that the suggestion that we should believe the absurd putative rationalizations of these illegal, immoral and undemocratic behaviors is insulting to one's intelligence.
But judging by the willingness of large swaths of the population to actually buy into them, I don't hold out much hope that they'll stop.
