The Weasel and the Damage Done

We have achieved scandal saturation; I defy anyone to be able to keep up with them all. And we’ve long passed the point where it feels icky to think about it, like wandering into the addiction scene, replete with dealers and victims and pimps and hookers and guns and money (oh my!). Weasels everywhere killing and destroying lives, their own and those of everyone they touch. It’s all about the drug. In this case, though, the drug is power, and the weasels in power are running ruining our government in their desperate clutch to get away with it.

And the wickedest weasel du jour is, of course, Gonzo, our AG, AG. This ex-WH counsel and DOJ un-lawman has achieved what may prove to be the biggest heckuva disaster yet to emerge from this crew, even with Rummy and Condi and Cheney (oh my!) in such stiff competition.

Bravo to our new Democratic Congress for reminding the country -- including the weasels running (or ruining) our government -- what their job of oversight means. And let’s hope they can get to the bottom of this before the slimy devils pull another fast one and somehow draw a get out of jail free card.

But what strikes me as a very crucial factor in this whole US attorney fiasco we cannot forget:

The damage is done.

The longer Bush and Cheney remain in power, the more permanent damage will be done. It's really vital to begin impeachment hearings, and there are more than enough serious abuses of power to justify it. I'm tired of hearing that impeachment is "off the table." It needs to be put back on, right away, before even that remedy is removed by an Executive Order, or signing statement, or whatever other way Rove can think of.
