That "defense" is what I have seen on other boards called "whataboutery". It is the ONLY tool left in their kit. The wave of criminality, illegality, unethical behavior and unamerican activities has become a tsunami of evil that threatens to wash even these most rabid of defenders away ... so, in desperation, ALL they can do is attempt always to deflect the argument.


Turned on Limbaugh the other day, a day or two after the Libby pardon, just to see how the old blowhard was spinning THAT one. He wasn't. He spent an entire HOUR demanding the immediate incarceration of Hillary Clinton for her towering crime against humanity and the cause of justice: finding the Rose Law Firm billing records weeks after having told the investigating committee that she had lost them. Yep, and the FACT is that the Clintons found them AND immediately reported the fact AND turned them over to the committee AND they totally cleared Mrs. Clinton of wrongdoing and thus for all practical purposes ended the Whitewater investigation ... which then had to move on to entrapment.


And for this, in the neocon apologist master's mind, the Libby case was driven TOTALLY off the airwaves. I mean, he was waxing wroth in an almost Biblical sense, as if any of THEM could possibly do anything Biblical without their head spinning, smoke rising about their smoking carcass with Hellfire rising about them, and lightning striking down directly from Heaven.


I bet that Satan can hardly wait for his most tender and eager fluffer, Rush, to join His Satanic Majesty forever. Gotta run - I must go atone for my liberalism.
