Three way

From the New York Times:

"President Bush's spokesman insisted that the president had the authority to declassify and release information "in the public interest" and had never done so for political reasons."

This was in reference to the recent news that Scooter Libby has served up Bush and Cheney on a silver platter to Patrick Fitzgerald.

The suggestion that Bush didn't authorize the leak of classified information for political reasons makes me so fucking livid that I can't even compose a good solid critique. Instead, I'll just rant and storm. Here goes.

BULLSHIT! Absolute and total fucking HORSESHIT! First of all, when the fuck is it LEGAL to leak classified information? Second, why in the fuck WOULD he "declassify" information in "the public interest" unless it was for some particular AGENDA? Because by doing so, with any AGENDA in mind, makes the act, by definition, POLITICAL! And does he REALLY expect ANYONE in their RIGHT GODDAMN MIND to expect that Scooter shitass Libby actually acted alone and without any kind of permission when he "accidentally" dropped Valerie Plame's name to half a dozen reporters? Hmmmm? That kind of position in life is not attained through lapses in memory! It's RETARDED! THE WHOLE STORY IS ASININE! AND even if they can prove it WASN'T illegal to leak that information, even if Fitzgerald can't directly connect Bush and Cheney to the leak of Plame's name, Libby's authorization to release information connected to the justification for invading Iraq is STILL POLITICAL. Shrub and his fucking team of storytellers came up with all KINDS of reasons to convince the country, the UN, and the world that we NEEDED to invade Iraq! Unbelievable. Take some goddamn responsibility for your actions, asshole.

Okay, I think I have that out of my system.

One other note, for right now. Shrub also wants to start making more nuclear weapons. He's just so smart, I can barely stand it.

"The administration... wants the capability to turn out 125 new nuclear bombs per year by 2022, as the Pentagon retires older bombs that it says will no longer be reliable or safe."

The weapons will no longer be safe, eh? Isn't the point of nuclear weapons that they're supposed to be dangerous as all fucking hell?

No munchies today. Just tequila. Extra salt. Leave the bottle.
