President Bush is neither a friend of, nor loyal to the American People.
When Bush welcomed an investigation into the Plame leak back in 2004, he said, “If there’s a leak out of my administration, I want to know who it is. If the person has violated law, that person will be taken care of.”
Last week, Bush let us know, “I’m loyal to my friends.” (Defending Alberto Gonzales)
So clearly, unless Karl Rove is charged with a crime related to the leak, it doesn’t matter if he confirmed the story for reporters or if he actually told Novak everything. None of it matters because Bush places his loyalty to his friends above his loyalty to the American People.
I never cease to be amazed at how unapologetically crooked the president is. I mean, I’m sure other presidents have “got over” on the American public, engaging in all kinds of skullduggery and the like, but the sheer *nakedness* of the Bush regime in such badness continues to leave me speechless.
