Good tagline. Thinking about what Powell has done here makes me more and more angry...and worried for my country. I think he allowed this to go on when he could have put a stop to it specifically in order to damage the President and his Administration...in a time of war, no less. That is stabbing the country in the back. And this guy was chairman of the Joint Chiefs. Think about that. He would allow his country to be damaged for his own political purposes and he was the military head of our armed forces. Now he is one of McCain's elite advisors in his presidential campaign along with Armitage.

What did McCain know and when did he know it????

Allow me to start the day with a rant. Gets my engine started.

...So, Richard Armitage, Deputy Secretary of State for Colin Powell, is the gossip who let slip that Natasha Plame was an NSA employee to Robert Novak? AND, get this, the vaunted Joseph Fitzgerald knew it!

This past week, the Washington Post and NY Times came out with lame rebuttals even though both of these media outlets were fanning the flames of this non-story.

How many millions were wasted on this joke of an investigation? How long before the American public who carries this planet on their backs gets sick of these out of control prosecutors and their media enablers?

Let's see, we have Patrick Fitzgerald, who knew before he spent one dime of taxpayer money on the Plame Game, that the leaker was Richard Armitage. We have that Duke prosecutor who, well hey the guy was running for re-election so surely we understand that accusing innocent people and ruining their lives is secondary to election victory. We have that idiot Colorado prosecutor who actually, get this, imported a child predator from Thailand because, well she's an idiot. Will the next child Karr molests get to sue the state of Colorado? How much American taxpayer money was spent on that joke?

And let's not forget those Texas prosecutors in the pockets of the Democrats who routinely charge Tom Delay with failure to wear clean underwear or any other trumped up charge.

They can't win by election, folks. They can't win so they appoint judges who legislate from the bench. Soon the American public gets a clue and starts appointing judges who know their damn job. They rig elections and fight voter ID even though the American public can't even buy a bag of bergers anymore without photo ID and we understand this. Hard to steal an election when voters are expected to provide a photo. Hard to provide photos for the dead people.

Now we have the age of the runaway prosecutor. This is an especially dangerous strategy because hey, Americans don't take kindly to prosecutors harming our own innocent selves. Those Duke Lacrosse players might not have been the prettiest group of adolescents on the planet but the prosecutor has flimsy evidence and likely it will all be dropped. Meanwhile innocents have been villified. And Colorado dances to the tune of the Ramseys and that idiot prosecutor actually quoted one of the main suspects in Jonbenet's death as reason for bringing back a child molester and goodness knows America can't have too many child molesters. I saw her news conference and I could mentally see the words IDIOT flashing over her head. Quoting John Ramsey as evidence to bring back John Karr is like quoting O.J. Simpson that sure that weird stranger killed Nicole and we definitely should spend bucks to extradite him to California.

Hey, it's us ordinary citizens getting hit by these prosecutors run amok and now we have Beau Biden, son of Joe, running for prosecutor in Dellywear and this guy has NEVER even prosecuted a criminal case. Not that his father the senator is a factor here and it's nepotism as criteria for the job instead of actual qualifications.

Now Fitzgerald has been shown to be a dishonest cad and Scooter Libby lost his job. What congress critter is going to be a manly man and step up to the podium and put an end to that silly PLAME GAME?

I'm done but I'm still mad. Bait me.

What I don't understand is why there is so much surprise?  Powell has always been a darling of the media and RINO's who like his social liberalism.  Powell did a poor job of reforming the State Department and Condi Rice has been a lot better, as well as Bolton at the UN.  

I can understand the press lamenting the failure of Powell but not conservatives. I believe Powell should be held to the same standards as anyone else, and he has some explaining to do.

On Fox, Brit sums it up for me. He says the scorned players in Plamegate should be the media members who continued to give credence to Joe Wilson long after he had been discredited by a senate intelligence committee.

The only thing wrong...Brit didn't name the sorry bastards.
