These guys get my utmost respect. Comey, Fitz…they are all of a piece: ethical to a fault (if “fault” is possible when being ethical), straight arrows who take the Constitution and their oaths seriously.
If only every nonelected civil (and military) official were cut from the same cloth, sewage leaking like that from the Bush Admin and the GOP Congress would be impossible. It would be stopped and sterilized at the first drop.
As on officer of the USAF, I salute Comey and Fitz but give the finger to Bush and all his minions.

Abu Gozales is in deep doo doo. He may not go to jail, but he’ll have to resign. He sold his soul, and now the devil is coming to claim it. He may resign in 2006, but if he doesn’t, we may have to wait until after the 2006 elections.. I would not be surprised if he is involved in the Plame leak. He may even be Woodward’s source.

My sister calls me “Share” so I thought I’d put my voice here. Happy New Year, off with the Old Year….and Old Thread. This Olde Thread was wonderful with all the new voices.

New thread, and you know how less relevant one’s thoughts become when posted at the bottom of a withering thread.

So I have a little on Comey and cookies posted in the new thread.

But Happy New Year again as y’all transition over to the Share and Share Alike thread.

That hasn’t been a problem for me, libertycap. I guess I’m a little more cynical than you.

I remember way back in the early days of the Chimpanzee Administration, before 9/11, when Cheney refused to devulge the list of corporate participants in his energy conference, and all the reporters, even the ones on Republican Week in Review, said he would have to release it eventually and he would be better off releasing it right away. Well, he never released it and nothing happened.

There have been many other instances when these thugs have defied conventional wisdom and gotten away with breaking the rules, so I’m very careful not to spike the ball until we’re in the end zone.

I was pretty low key about the Rove indictment, which hasn’t happened yet, and I didn’t cheer about the Libby indictment until it happened. Then, of course, I hooted and made a big deal about it.

Just be patient- we’ll get these fuckers. Just wait till Abramoff gets done singin’.

I hope you and Hester and all the other new commenters that showed up today will continue to join in the comments.

The corruption surrounding this administration and their cohorts could make a CSI investigator green around the gills. Because of men like Comey and Fitzgerald I have hope the Dirty Dozen+ (Abramoff, Delay, Rove, Libby, etc) will at last be exposed to start decomposing in the glare of judicial sunlight. Maybe these good guys can only clean out a few stalls of WashingtonÂ’s Augean Stables, but theyÂ’re looking like modern day Hercules to me. TheyÂ’re making me have faith that good guys really can win in the long run. Thanks FDL for giving sustenance to that hope.

Happy New Year and please keep writing your wickedly fun, insightful, and informative blog. It starts my every morning and I seldom resist checking back through out the day.
