from the AP newswire...

WASHINGTON - President Bush on Thursday acknowledged publicly for the first time that someone in his administration likely leaked the name of a CIA operative, although he also said he hopes the controversy over his decision to spare prison for a former White House aide has "run its course."

"And now we're going to move on," Bush said in a White House news conference.


Uh-huh. Yeah, suuuuuure it has. Suuuuure we are. Careful, Georgie, I think some of that fairy sparkle-dust got up your nose as well as in your eyes...

BITCHSLAP!


When Stupid and Arrogant collide in one mouth, there's a bitchslap just waiting to appear...

And Nick reminds us:

  "I have nothing but contempt and anger for those who betray the trust by
exposing the name of [CIA] sources. They are, in my view, the most
insidious, of traitors." - ex-president George H.W. Bush, April 26, 1999

I wonder, if we got organized, if we could all post that everywhere, blogs and LJs and whatnot, all at the same time...  if we can all be zombified for a day, surely taking a chunk out of George shouldn't be so hard....

I just have to say that I love your icon. Still goggly-eyed at the Shrub and his arrogance, but I love the icon.

Gee, whatever happened to the promise of great wrath being rained down upon anyone who leaks anything from the White House, Senate, or House. Wasn't there something about prosecuting them to the full extent of the law?

I won't even go on my rant about how leaking the name of a covert agent, during a time of war, who worked IN the war zone, is TREASON. Nope, not going to go down that path right now.

I hate these people. Can someone please drop a house on them?

I want heads on the spikes around the Rose Garden.

Oh, that guys been snorting fairy dust for years. How else to you explain Iraq and the rest of the administration's foreign and domestic policy.

I mean, the guy's gotta be on something, right?

Ah, but "CIA sources" are not the same as "CIA operatives" -- as I'm sure Mr. Bush would explain were he intelligent enough to care.
