Something to Hide

Today Senate Judiciary Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-VT) gave former Karl Rove aide Sara Taylor a civics lesson:
"I took an oath the president, and I take that oath very seriously," Sara Taylor said in answer to a question early in the hearing.
And right after a break, Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT) asked her if she was sure about that. "Did you mean, perhaps, you took an oath to the Constitution?"

There you have it, the story of the past 7 years in a nutshell. The Constitution, in the GOP Cheney/Bush/Rove crime organization is for bathroom use. All the rest is just expressions of power for the advancement and protection of the privileged few.

In the clip Ms. Taylor looks crazy, like she's either not been sleeping or hitting some sort of pharmaceutical. Clearly as another of the vacuously ambitious Republican hired henchpeople for the Cheney/Bush/Rove crime family, what we're seeing revealed on the outside is her moral interior, a house of cards in free-fall collapse.

All of this comes from the Federal Prosecutor purge that clearly the highest officials directed. Why else would they have so much to hide? Why else would Mister Bush direct former aide Harriet Miers (the once and never Supreme Court nominee) to not honor her subpoena to appear before the committee tomorrow?

I don't care how long Ms. Miers worked for George "Junior Soprano" Bush. She doesn't work for him now -- he has no authority to stop her from appearing!

Better yet, welcome a clear and immediate impeachable offense -- per a TPM reader, Bush just committed a felony:
18 U.S.C. Sec. 1505 : ... Whoever corruptly ... influences, obstructs, or impedes ... the due and proper exercise of the power of inquiry under which any inquiry or investigation is being had by either House, or any committee of either House or any joint committee of the Congress ... [s]hall be fined under this title, [or] imprisoned not more than 5 years ... or both.

For the record, I don't care on what charge President Dick "Tony Soprano" Cheney or Mister Bush are impeached.

After all, they only got Al Capone on tax evasion.

I just saw the film "Election" a few days ago. Does Sara Taylor remind you of anyone?
