President Leaker

From my blog:

I like the sound of that. I really hope it sticks. Why, you ask, do we need another derogatory nickname for the Prez?

Because it gives you a glimpse of the guy's (lack of) character. These guys won't do anything without a means of covering their ass after the fact (on WMD, wire tapping, the list goes on and on), but this - this is being underhanded in a way even a red stater can understand.

He's a snitch. He's telling tales out of school. Why, he's…he's a gol-darn LIAR! In short, it might just remind them of Clinton.

From Slate:

Can the president even be a leaker? For a leak to be real, it has to be unsanctioned. Once a piece of secret information gets unwrapped (by the president no less), it's not a leak, it's part of a communications strategy. It's national policy. So, maybe he's not a leaker.

But he is certainly a hypocrite. It's one thing to declassify information; it's another thing to present information to a reporter as though it were classified to preserve the shadow authenticity that comes with a leak. Bush wanted to have the information out there but not have to account for it or explain it.

1. I hope Fitzgerald is about to finally move. This bragging for a second

time that a president has turned rogue dictatator and is above the law sounds like a strategy to see if the 30% and shrinking bushbot base will buy the claims of dictatorial power.

God bless Feingold, Conyers, Waxman, Barbara Lee and Cynthia McKinney for having the courage to stand against these monsters.

They're already creating the talking points the Republicans will use in the future, namely:

"It wasn't a leak, because he has the Presidential authority to declassify anything."

It's the WAY he went about leaking it that I think people on the right will find most disgusting.
We all know he's a weasel, and it's time his supporters did, too.
