Cohen Solves the Mystery: Goodling Is No Criminal

[Rose Siding]

"In the end, though, some thought has to be given to why Monica Goodling feels obligated to take the Fifth rather than merely telling Congress what happened in the AG's office. She's no criminal -- but what could happen to her surely is."

sigh. Dick's given it all away without ANY kind of spoiler warning.

Guess why he raced to the defense of this bushie in distress- It's because of "the compulsively compulsive Patrick Fitzgerald" who proved that "there is nothing more dangerous to the republic than a special prosecutor with money to spend." After citing a litany of *Repubican* witch hunts, Cohen writes that "only a fool would appear before Congress without attempting to bargain for immunity by first invoking the Fifth Amendment."

Besides, participating in a congressional investigation will hit you in the wallet! Just Say No, little bushie! urges the "liberal" Cohen in his great big, right at home, WaPo op-ed column. "(F)or vowing to take the Fifth in the ongoing probe of why and how eight U.S. attorneys were fired, I offer her my hearty congratulations. She knows that in Washington, free speech can cost you a fortune in legal fees.

1. Free speech to cost you legal fees?

How bout being a dumbass who takes a job with a criminal enterprise. that is what will cost you, money and other things.

I wonder if the sweet ms goodling is now understanding the separation of church and state.

2. Cohen became a right wing media whore 10 years ago - occassional flashbacks to being a

moderate and readable not withstanding, he is not worth anyone's time these days.

3. Apologists such as Cohen

are the only "thing" propping up the apparent credibility of this criminal administration. The reality is that they should have no credibility at all and should be behind bars.
