What Dick could take immense pride in is that his jail sentence would prove the resilience of the Republic, which is, after all, “an empire of laws, not men.” While Dick is free, the Nation is in dire peril! Justice must be done! The stakes could not be higher! He really should turn himself in, and demand a speedy trail!

may even have a box turtle named cornyn….heh.

and a guinea pig named mitt.
and a rat named joe.

lol.

So let me say this: if Cheney were actually right – and I am speaking hypothetically, of course – and torture had revealed information that saved hundreds of thousands of American lives, that should be reward enough. It should be profoundly satsifying. Life imprisonment can’t be too high a price to pay for that kind of certainty, for the crimes he instigated.

Please, let us jail him for all time. Kristol, Beck and Hannity may joyfully strew petals before the Dick as he makes his way to his cell. I propose that the anniversary his sentencing be called Jail The Dick day, a national holiday, to be celebrated with coast-to-coast repeats of “The Trial of Dick Cheney” and “Judgement at Nuremberg”.

way before we all know what we know now.

yesterday, i wrote to the hillman foundation to please include a mention of her book.

a poodle. beating them all to the door….like dogs do.

it is pretty delicious.

I thought the book on the Plame Affair could have been a bit more copy-edited. It was too breathless.

We were all afraid it would get too weedy, and too long. The concern was to keep it “accessible.” IIRC, it was seen as a tool to reach a broader audience than her blog posts. It was written at a time before Madame Speaker had taken impeachment “off the table.”

Marcy also had to knock it out before the Libby trial started. How she met that deadline, while she was holding down her paying gig, and while continuing to blog; I have no clue.
