Slime and Defend
It's really disturbing how arrogant Bushies are these days, not only the apparent campaign to drag Richard Clarke in front of a grand jury, but the audacity that they are beyond criticism and reproach. Now distant memories about problems that Richard Armitage had as well as the ambassador who quit are slithering to the surface of my memory. This White House is too partisan and touchy for me. I'm sick of it. Is nobody taking a long view any more? This tit for tat is truly annoying.

Being back in grade school comes to mind.

Unfortunately, the point of all this sliming is to make the public see it as nothing more than more "partisan bickering" in D.C. and tune out. It is an all too common tactic in todays political world. And why not? Sadly, it seems to work. From Newsweek:
"Although exactly half of the American public has paid at least some attention to Clarke’s allegations, only a quarter of those who have been following the story say they see Clarke as a selfless public servant. Fifty percent suspect Clarke has some personal or political agenda, while another 25 percent don’t know what to make of his accusations."
