John Tierney Is An Asswipe

So John Tierney sees the detritus of the end of the Bush administration falling about his feet. It MUST be - how else could you explain writing an article (at Times Select) that makes Richard Cohen look like Cindy Sheehan? He obviously sees the ship sinking and wants to go down with it, thereby cementing, in his mind, his membership in the club.

And what a club! Pretty soon a membership requirement will be a booking photo.

One paragraph in particular caught my eye:

So now the original justifications for the investigation have vanished, which is why I think of this as the Nadagate scandal. But the prosecutor has kept at it for two years. Besides switching to the vague law against disclosing classified information, he might indict Libby or Rove for perjury or obstruction of justice -- crimes that occurred only because of the investigation.

WOW - "crimes that occurred only because of the investigation." Think about that: this douchebag honestly expects us to believe that any charge Fitzpatrick may level against Libby or Rove (or, as the rumors insist, Cheney) was created by Fitzpatrick himself. Not their own actions or lies, it's Fitzpatrick's fault. The investigation created the situation, not the individuals...which is like saying that it was the bridge's fault that some guy jumped off of it to kill himself because if the bridge hadn't been there in the first place, well, that dude would still be with us.

Fuck me running.

The next 2 weeks will give us the rats, so in the meantime enjoy the sinking.
