Free the Fitzgerald One!

Just because I know everyone loves her like i do, here's another great article from one of my favorites.

Conservatives often ask why so many Republicans go native when they get to Washington, D.C. The answer is: Because you don't defend them when they come under relentless attacks from liberal hatchet men.
Lewis Libby did what you wanted. He didn't place secret phone calls to reporters revealing classified intelligence programs. He supported the war on Islamic fascists. He didn't try to raise your taxes like James Baker III. And he has loyally served Dick Cheney, the man conservatives secretly wish were president.
And now he's on trial for -- at worst -- misremembering who first told him that future reality show contestant Joseph Wilson was sent on a boondoggle to Niger by his wife, Valerie Plame.

Rhino, I wish you would warn me when you're linking to Ann Coulter, because seeing her picture always gives me the heebie-jeebies.

I don't care what she says. Scooter Libby is having his day in court, and I will respect the verdict of the people hearing all the evidence--the jurors.

i just hope that if he gets convicted Bush pardons him immediately. That would really piss you off!

I'll give her mucho credit for using a vocabulary word that is very rarely used: 'bestir'

"Republicans don't have to kill cats to BESTIR themselves to defend their own from rank partisan persecution."
