Reply #6: sometimes that cynicism is off the mark

[Cocoa]

for example, as I posted on another thread, Tom Daschle sent a letter to John Ashcroft on Dec 22, 2003, demanding he appoint an independent prosecutor in the Plame case.

That was met with the cynical posts on DU I paste below. These DUers are fine people, to be sure, but their cynicism was off the mark and it was a good thing that Daschle was "naive" enough to keep up the pressure on Ashcroft for months, as Ashcroft recused himself a week after Daschle sent the letter, clearing the way for Fitzgerald's appointment.

Too little, too late. The time for action and demands for justice passed the moment you allowed the cartel to take control of this investigation. You knew then, just like now, they will never allow the truth to come out. Never.

I see this whole incident as having already been washed and scrubbed and we will never find out the truth. Just like 9/11 and just like Iraq. This letter will mean nothing to this administration of liars and thieves. Daschle's so-called leadership of the Democratic party is a laughingstock and no one takes him seriously, least of all Ashcroft. I don't see this as having any effect - good, bad or indifferent.

Nice try though, Tom.

my instinct says your are absolutely correct.

..I wonder if Tom asked him how the Anthrax investigation is going.

And yes, I have no doubt that the Imperial Busheviks and their cronies, upon reading this letter, must have burst out with laughter at the continuing naivete of their Enemies of the State.

Sure, Asscroft is going to find the Plame Leaker

Just like he has done such a great job finding all his other friends such as the Anthrax Assassin.

Oh how the Busheviks must laugh. Power is not meant to wielded with compromise, according to the Imperials, and I'm sure Reichsmarshall Asscroft will prusue this at least as diligently as Molotov investigating criminal activity at Karagranda or Vorkuta.

It is funny, in a pathetic sort of way, to see the Democrats so completely befuddled about their role in Imperial Amerika.

Got news for you folks...the time to fight was 20 years ago, 10 years ago, or perhaps in Dec. 2000, when the Old Amerikan Republic formally began it's shuffling death march.

Now it's just pathetic, watching you all beg from tyrants who would kill you if they were yet able, and who will kill you, if like Wellstone and Carnahan, you become a threat.

Pathetic state, that of the opposition to a brutal Emperor and his ruthless minions, whining for scraps from the Imperial Table, or begging them to enforce the rules they have laughingly broken and will continue to do so, or wheedling them to enforce the law against themselves when everyone in the world and half of Imperial Amerikan Subjects know that the Imperials are simply not bound to the rule of law.

Sick and sad world we live in today. Dacshle's letter is as impotant as a request to Himmler to investigate conditions at concentration camps, and will be met with the exact same laughable indifference.

JA: "What's this? A letter from Tom Daschle? How quaint. Agnes, please put this in the circular file". Agnes proceeds to throw the letter in the trash, unopened.

So, there you have it.

Game over, Daschle.

Like this is gonna guilt Asscrack into doing anything.

He's probably stuck the letter up in his office urinal already.
