Have you no decency, Mr. Bush?

Well, confronted with the choice between keeping his promise to fire anyone involved with the leaking of Valerie Plame's name and sticking with his political bogeyman Karl Rove, Bush has done what he does so well, lie and pretend that he hasn't lied. Today, he said that anyone found to be breaking the law will be fired. This is a marked departure from what he promised shortly after Robert Novak identified Valerie Plame as a covert operative working for the CIA on WMD non-proliferation. If Bush had any honor or sense of decency, he would have immediately demanded to know who leaked Plame's name and fired them on the spot...2 years ago! However, now that it has been revealed that Karl Rove and Scooter Libby, Cheney's chief of staff, are the leakers (or at least two of them), he would rather make himself into a liar than lose their scheming manipulative talents. For shame. As Joseph Wilson, Valerie Plame's husband, has said, they should be frog-marched out of the White House in handcuffs. The entire Administration should be impeached, if for nothing else than the huge cover-up on a scale not seen since Richard Nixon was forced to resign. Once again, for shame!
