Plamegate returns

Every day is another shred of evidence that in November of 2004 the american people put their faith and support behind a man who authorizes leaks, sanctions torture, randomly breaks the law as he sees fit, signs statments that negate signed legislation and is unprepared to govern at critical junctures.

This would be grounds for a vote of no confidence in a parlimentary system. A large majority of the country either dislikes or distrusts their current president and on a daily basis have to read more proof they are right.

John Kerry was on both CNN and MSNBC this afternoon discussing his future as a candidate. Can anyone dispute that a President Kerry would have us remain in Iraq? Can I say for certain, of course not, but what an improvement it would be, even my fellow conservatives would have to agree at this point. Kerry's loss was the closest since Kennedy/Nixon, rarely has a country paid for its last minute indecision.

There really is nothing to seriously analyze here about the president's role in the leak. This is how they operate. They don't represent you and I. Their focus in 2003 was continuing their control of a government that barely know how to operate.

So, at this point, George W. Bush is irrelevant, a lame duck in the starkest of terms. We are simply adrift waiting for either another preemptive war or more drip drop secrets revealed in the waning moments of a presidency.
