ps finally got a letterprinted in the Times last Sundogday, about David Brooks article on Libby and dissing Wilson, only can get the abstract as I ain't gonna pay $4.95 to the NY Times for his silly trash talk
OP-ED COLUMNIST; Ending The Farce

By DAVID BROOKS (NYT); Editorial Desk
Late Edition - Final, Section A, Page 17, Column , 756 words
- David Brooks Op-Ed column applauds Pres Bush's decision to commute sentence of I Lewis Libby Jr, accused of perjury and obstruction of justice in CIA leak case; says move ends political farce; divides case into five acts, ending with Libby's emergence as least absurd character in scandal filled with angst and melodrama; DISPLAYING ABSTRACT

, only they changed the names in my letter to the editor from Prez Bush Sr and Prez Bush Jr to Prez HW Bush and Prez George W Bush. Personally I like using Senior and Junior, but hey, the salient point got thru. "A case of character assassination," #4, right behind a maw haw fumigating conservative who wahnts t paw paw and pander.

Let them confess

David Brook's synopsis of Plamegate could not have been more lucid and satisfying. It's lucid because it clarifies everybody's sins. It's satisfying because he offers an enduring truth: "Behold, I have seen all the works under the sun and all is vanity and vexation of spirit."

In a perfect world, all the thespians in this sordid, contrived drama would be ordered to go on the national stage and say, "'David's right, mea culpa. We stunk up the place."

A case of character assassination

In David Brooks' column, I read an unabashed attempt at character assassination of Joe Wilson, the former acting ambassador to Iraq during the buildup to Desert Storm in 1990. Brooks calls him "a strutting little peacock" and "the charming P.T. Barnum of the national security set."

Joe Wilson was labeled a "true American hero" by President George H.W. Bush for his actions in protecting a large number of Americans who were inside Iraq during the buildup to the Persian Gulf War. As spokesman for the president, he directly confronted Saddam Hussein in Baghdad after the Iraqi occupation of Kuwait.

This type of character assassination by Brooks and others confuses the salient issue here. The CIA did, in fact, dispatch Ambassador Wilson to Niger, Africa, to discern independently President George W. Bush's false assertion that Iraq was importing uranium from there to support a bogus nuclear weapons program. That this is not of concern to David Brooks and to the St. Petersburg Times is shocking and disappointing. jimboloco

like I said before, all these so-called yellow dawg Dumbocrats will be fair game for name calling and other kinds of actions like political challenges, active criticisms, and so on. Let's just not go back to a repressive right wing state of mind, and proceed forward. I wonder if Hillarious or Obama or Governor Bill would pardon Mumia or Leneard Peltier.
Now that would be something.
Prison reform oughta be on the agenda and Obama has spoken to that issue along with repatriation for felons.

I am gonna get on a progressive bandwagon, since I am off the wagon
