What Exactly Did Pres. Bush Mean when He Said that Anyone in His Administration Discovered to Be a Leak Would Be "Taken Care Of"?

Oh, Wait, I Think We All Know What He Meant, Don't We?

Remember how The Decider firmly stood up and said he would take action when the Berlin Wall set up inside the White House to keep truth from escaping developed a crack just large enough for a tiny bit of reality to seep through and reveal that someone in the White House had been the source of the leak in the Valerie Plame case? Just in case you can't get your mind to wade through the plethora of other lies attributed to Pres. Bush, I'll help you out. Bush's exact words were: "If there is a leak out of my administration, I want to know who it is. And if the person has violated law, the person will be taken care of."

Well, George W. Bush got what he wanted. He found out who the person was in his administration who leaked the information that Valerie Plame was a CIA agent to that Republican propagandist masquerading as a journalist, Robert Novak. And he also found out that, at least in the eyes of the group of Americans who made up a jury, that Scooter Libby violated the saw. And, finally, he did take care of that person.

Oh, how he took care of that leaker.

Would that Pres. Bush has as much dedication to taking care of the rest of America that he has to taking care of Scooter Libby. Scooter-and, honestly, if you are an adult male would you have balls big enough to go out in public and have people address you as Scooter; I mean you've got to give credit where credit is due, Lewis Libby honestly doesn't care how big of a dork he appears to be in the eyes of the average person, he is committed to retaining the kind of nickname that the average kid puts away right around the time he enters middle school is only so he won't get beaten up every day-is the beneficiary of the kind of benevolent concern that we all expect from our President. It is our grave misfortune that most of us aren't rich enough or well-connected enough, or the boyfriend of Dick Cheney-not to mention having authored the atrociously ill-conceived plans for a foreign policy mission that Bush almost immediately put into action and that has left this country both financially and morally bankrupt and has been responsible for the unnecessary deaths of 3500 Americans with untold thousands more to come.
