Scooter, we barely knew ya'

Well it looks like Ol’ Scooter is going down and I for one am glad to see a man receive the recognition he deserves. That’s right, any one who would so selflessly rat out one of our nation’s covert operatives and put an end to their career to send the message “Shut up, your going to ruin our war” should be held high and pointed out as the yard stick by which to measure this administration. All to often people see what needs to be done and stop short, making excuses like “Oh, that’s illegal” or “That would be unethical” or even “That might put some one’s life in danger”, but not our I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby. The Scootster is a man of action, the kind of man that understands that things like ethics and morals and national security and regard for human life or even common courtesy have no place in running a country, especially when it comes to winding up for a good war. Why if he hadn’t acted, Joseph Wilson might have proven that Iraq wasn’t trying to buy uranium and stopped us from opening up the can of whupass we had been working up. But Libby did act, and thanks to him we didn’t have to find out that there was no reason to be in Iraq until it was too late to leave.

Now two years and two thousand American dead later, the Scootmiester finally gets his do. Or does he? Maybe, just maybe, some one higher up took action and is so humble that they decided to give credit to a loyal aid instead. Knowing what I do about the current White House, I would not be surprised to see such leadership tempered by such humility. Who knows?

I also wonder what reward the president has in store for his loyal service. Perhaps he will make him Ambassador to Gabon and o Tome and Principe! Or maybe he’ll appoint him to the Supreme Court. That would be sweet!

Well, enough of this crap, I going to follow the president’s example and go on a drinking binge! I’ll see you again with blood on my knuckles and puke on my shoes.

‘Til then, don’t trust the white man!
