The Dog Ate Karl's Homework

Gosh, what an unfortunate accident for Bushco that it just happened to lose those pesky Emails pertaining to the investigation into the eight U.S. attorneys fired by Abu Gonzales. What a shame that this inopportune computer glitch just happened to take place at such a difficult time.

Funny, though – this tells us about how something pretty similar happened, oh, I’d say a little more than a year ago. See, Patrick Fitzgerald was trying to obtain Emails that were no doubt circulating within the White House concerning Joe Wilson and his wife Valerie Plame, who of course was outed (along with her entire operation tracking loose nukes – way to “protect the homeland,” Dubya) as a payback for Wilson’s Op-Ed in the New York Times calling Bushco on its B.S. about Saddam Hussein supposedly trying to buy yellowcake from Niger (I know all of this stuff is ingrained in us at this point, but it still bears repeating).

And by the way, for a history lesson to see how the Repugs operated when roles were reversed and no investigation was taking place (the whole Monica Whatsername inquisition having ended by then), check out Repug House Rep Dan Burton’s reaction here to the news from the Clinton Administration that it will cost $3 million (in 2000) to upgrade the White House Email system (Calling for a special prosecutor to look into this “big deal”? It is to laugh.).
