Blaming the minnows as the sharks swim away


While a recent report on illegal politicization of the Justice Department is a good first step in introducing accountability to the Bush administration, it would be "pathetic" if culpability stops with midlevel aides like Monica Goodling, a constitutional expert says.

[From The Raw Story | Turley: 'Pathetic' if Monica Goodling takes fall for Bush officials]

Yeah, that's what this is. And there'll be more. Oh, lots of "investigations" and "reports" that firmly pin the blame on the little fish.


Monica Gooding had "fall guy" written all over her from the start. You never thought she was hired for her legal acumen, did you? Or for her vast experience in, well, anything at all? Come on.


Sure, she and all the other dronelings ought to be sent to bed without their dinner but it was the Big Bushies that did the damage - they, and the Vichy D's who sat there in committee, hour after hour, letting little Alberto not remember anything at all. It's a wonder he admitted his name. Everybody knew he was giving us all the finger and nobody did a damn thing about it.


Pathetic, Mr. Turley, it already is. No if.
