Countdown: New Subpoenas for Rove

[jqjacobs]

So, the paranoia of McCarthyism gave us Executive Privilege, enabling the problem of legal defiance of the Bush paranoid politicians.

Can we call that irony?

I'm quite sure we should call this a paranoid political feedback loop, to avoid calling it 'positive' in any way, shape, or form!

I'm quite sure it is ordinary in chains of events, for the negative aspects of one era to result in unforeseen negative consequences later.

That's not irony.

That's Obama's and America's problem.

(0:57) Hold on there... I thought 'We' don't negotiate with terrorists! If these scoundrels, Rove, Miers, and Bolten, get away with ignoring subpoenas and contempt of Congress, the next time I receive a subpoena for jury duty I'm going to ignore it claiming "executive privilege". When I'm charged for failure to comply, I'll use the past is the past, let's move forward defense. Do you think that you or I would get away with this crap?

Thanks for the good idea. I think all Americans should do this.

I agree.

I think the fact that every subsequent Administration has "ignored" the crimes of the previous one, is a horrible thing for the so-called Rule of Law, and it needs to stop.

The Bush Crime Family ran rampant for over 7 years. They need to be held accountable for their crimes!

Here, here!

"the bush haters and their puppet master uber douche bag keith olbermann still have nothing better to do than bitch about a ended (and I'll admit very f'd up) administration."

As Keith says when starting the "StillBushed" segment, they may be gone, but their deeds outlive them.
