re: #644 Aceofwhat?

And if you don’t want to concede that it was illegal, why change the subject to a tired, shameful etc. etc. defensiveness etc. etc.

It’s not a change of subject, Ace. I’m mentioning that the subject kind of sickens me.

Can we just kick the facts around for a bit first? Aside from calling Joe Wilson a douchebag (because i think he is), i’ve been trying to keep this little discussion on the fact rails. Help.

No. I have no fucking interest, as I said, in going around this. This argument is cold and over. Libby obstructed justice, and that is the only absolute fact we can say. Those who are going to draw a conclusion from what happened already have.

It was one of the things that made me feel most antipathy toward Bush’s administration, the carelessness with which they treated our intelligence assets in this affair, the absolute hypocrisy of saying that they’d get to the bottom of things, then stonewalling, and then commuting Libby.
