The beginning of the end of the Bush Regime...

David Corn of The Nation broke this story way back in July and the mainstream press is just now picking it up. The Republicans in Congress impeached President Clinton for lying about extramarital sexual relations. This is much more serious; I wonder what they will do about this--a matter of national security.

Does anyone really believe that John Ashcroft will conduct a fair an unbiased investigation? Uhhh...no. If there was ever a time for a special investigator to be appointed this is it.

White House spokesman Scott McClellan spent yesterday telling the White House press corps to let him know if they have any information about "the leak."

This whole thing started because Bush lied about the Iraq-Niger-uranium connection. Ambassador Wilson exposed the lie and the Bush Administration took revenge. Now puppetmaster Karl Rove is probably busy covering his tracks and coming up with more lies that will eventually bring down the Bush Regime.
