As liberals across the blogosphere demonstrate a certain irrational exuberance over the legal troubles of GOP officials, they are beginning to have some trouble not tripping over their wagging tongues

I Lewis Libby: Fall Guy or Treasonous Traitor

Judith Miller has been released from jail. Her source is now publically known to be I. Lewis Libby (Vice President Cheney’s Chief of Staff).

Now, according to President Bush’s earlier claims, Scooter will now be fired and tried if and when charges are brought against him. Anyone else? Will there be and indictment for Rove somewhere in there? Is Scooter a fall guy? Probably not if Judith Miller testifies that it was him.

I never imagined that we would see so many prominent politicians arrested / indicted within a couple of months. In hindsight it is not that surprising that they are mostly republicans. After all, republicans are the people who brought us Enron.

Now, I’m not sure what most of this post is supposed to mean. It’s hardly clear, and the title makes no sense at all, at least to anyone who’s been paying attention to this nonscandal. That is, except the last part, which is blatantly false. Yes, Republicans brought us Enron - they brought it to us in the form of indictments and jail sentences and successful prosecutions and new securities disclosure legislation. A Bush appointed Department of Justice takes down Enron, Worldcom, etc., and then is blamed for it happening, when the corporate illegalities all began under Bush’s asleep-at-the-switch predecessor.

Liberal illogic at its finest.
