Clowns to the left of me…
by Jack Grant…jokers to the right
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you…
I have already written of my disgust at the glee expressed by the left-wing, especially on weblogs, in the anticipation of any indictments that might result from the Fitzgerald investigation.
I have equal loathing for the apologists and minimalists on the right-wing, especially on weblogs, that I have heard and read in the wake of the indictments delivered.
Patrick Fitzgerald made it clear that his investigation and that of the grand jury was actively impeded by Lewis Libby.
So, we are confronted with yet another Rorschach test of political views, because it is far easier to react than it is to think, it is far easier to gloat than it is to mourn the true message of the issues revealed, it is far easier to minimize the offense than to stand up and accept responsibility.
Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you…
After seeing the reactions from both sides, I am at a loss for words to express my repugnance for this nauseating behavior.

Once upon a time, right was right and wrong was wrong. Now, it appears, as long as the malefactor is one of “ours”, anything can be condoned or excused or trivialized and spun out of existence. I think we are living in a banana republic.

I think that it matters not who is at “fault” or what their politics are.
The real “injustice” is the damage that people do to the principles and system of democratic government, all in the cause of retention of power. Whether it is obstruction of justice, illegal intelligence gathering, or lying about a sexual pecadillo is immaterial.
It is our system of government that suffers.

A lot of us have noted that the administration was corrupt for quite some time. Any glee is in knowing that it is finally out in the open and can’t continue to just be spun away.
