Fitzgerald was appointed by Comey, who was appointed by Bush. If he is some partisan hack, then its Dubya's own fault.

Whether an underlying crime was actually committed or not, I'm not going to whine if Libby or Rove gets nailed for perjury. The fact is that you just don't lie under oath. Beginning and end of story. If they actually lied, then I hope they get shown the door. We can't ask for anything less if we're going to be consistent.

Fitzgerald is an experienced guy, and I'd be surprised if he'd bring a perjury charge that reasonably could be explained away by a faulty memory. So I'd guess he'd probably have more than that if he does decide to bring that charge against either of them.

I obviously hope neither of them lied, and that it goes in a different direction. But if it doesn't, there's no way I'm giving the lefties the satisfaction of whining about it. That's what they do, and they'd love nothing better than if we'd start a "lying really isn't that bad defense." We'd look horrible, and it would just give the story longer legs.

If there are indictments, then the reaction should be just to sit back and let the prosecution take its course. And reiterate what the President himself said -- if someone committed a crime, they should be gone.

Pretty much sums it up for me.
