Slime

By W. David Jenkins III

October 6, 2003—Well, there it was, plain as day. They have finally become so cocky that they don't mind you knowing what they're doing. I have to admit that although I wasn't surprised, I was appalled by their candor. Check this out:

"It's slime and defend," said one Republican aide on Capitol Hill, describing the White House's effort to raise questions about Mr. Wilson's motivations and its simultaneous effort to shore up support in the Republican ranks.

"So far so good," the aide said. "There's nervousness on the part of the party leadership, but no defections in the sense of calling for an independent counsel."—New York Times 10/2/03
Can you believe this? The gang that promised to restore honesty and integrity to the White House is, once again, going to "slime" the opposition for shedding light on the corruption which has bloomed and flourished under George W. Bush. There will be no apologies and no explanation because, after all, why should this little problem be any different from all the others? That is why I refuse to get my hopes up this time.

1. This isn't going away, Khephra

I don't care what tactics the WH uses. This is a criminal investigation, and if the DOJ tries to whitewash this it will backfire. Too many people know the truth.

2. I don't think it will either

People aren't buying the spin out here in the heartland.

3. I don't think they are, either

That's why you see a new WH argument every day. Because none of them are working.
