Olalla Masala

 I don’t know about you, but I always used to wonder why it took so darned long for anything to get done in Washington D.C.

 Lately we’ve all been treated to the never-ending investigation of who outed Valerie Plame; supposedly a C.I.A. “asset” with deep cover. It didn’t take long to learn that Valerie ( Mrs. Joe Wilson ) was not a clandestine agent, but rather just another bureaucrat working at Langley, who just happened to be married to Ambassador Joe Wilson; a Democrat hack who has it in for the Bush administration.

   Well, of course, the C.I.A. footed the bill for old Joe to take a vacation to Africa, and, while he was there, he was supposed to find out if Saddam Hussein had been trying to purchase yellow cake uranium for his weapons of mass destruction.

  Old Joe had a great trip, and on his return, he made up a story about how he was asked to go to Africa by VP Dick Cheney, and that he could find no evidence that Saddam had tried to buy any yellow cake in Africa. In fact, he verified that documents showing that to be the case were forgeries.

 End of story? Hell no!!

  At this point, the only person who committed anything resembling a crime was old Joe Wilson because he lied about who authorized his trip.

  Of course, in the end, Scooter Libby got hung out to dry because he has a real bad memory.

  I have bored you with all of this because we are about to embark on another such trip through Wonderland with the recent firing of 8 or 9 Federal prosecutors by the Bush administration.

 No crime has been committed (yet), and what AG Gonzalez has done is tiddlywinks compared to what the Liar-in Chief, Bill Clintoon did when he fired 94 Federal Prosecutors all on the same day.

 But, the difference now is that the Republicans have never learned to play defense.

Anyone who has played contact sports knows that the best defense is a good offense, but the Republicans just can’t seem to grasp that concept.

 So, hang on to your hats and pay close attention. There will be Congressional hearings; AG Gonzalez may resign because George Bush has already admitted that “mistakes were made”.

 This may take years, but someone’s head will be on the chopping block!

There are already rumors of e-mails with Dick Cheney’s name on them. Maybe the Democraps will grab the brass ring this go-round!
