Theatre of the Corrupt

I will admit that it is difficult to repress a smirk at the news of Scooter-boy's conviction on 4/5 counts, but it is a hollow victory. The real culprits, Karl Rove and Dick Cheney, remain outside the law's "long arm" and, truth be told, so does Scooter. Recall the fate of Elliot Abrams, indicted in the Iran-Contra affair for giving false testimony to Congress while Assistant Secretary of State for Inter-American Affairs under President George H. W. Bush. Abrams copped a plea and was later pardoned by ol' Poppy. He is, today, Deputy National Security advisor under usurping President George W. Bush. We are not witnessing the wheels of Justice turn; it is only the latest scene in the Theatre of the Corrupt. Democrats will be popping corks and high-fiving, but that is just more self-delusion. The moral rot that has infested our government is non-partisan. The enemies among us, the MIC and the House of Bush and its allies, continue blithely on their way, reaping huge profits and remaining outside the reach of legal process.
