George Stephanopoulos' "This Week" presented some words from Laura Bush with surprisingly little irony. Mrs. Bush was speaking at something called the "Conference for America's Youth."
"Children whose parents show them love and support and stay active in their lives have an enormous advantage growing up," she said. "Yet too many children grow up in homes where one parent is absent--most often, their father."
Hey, Pickles! How many American families do you reckon have been left fatherless by the Stupid War your hubbie started?
Just curious.
In other news, the Sunday talking heads are of course all about the indictments. Tim Russert has gathered three former presidential chiefs of staff and has asked them what, exactly, President Bush needs to do to repair his presidency. Of course, only the Clinton guy, Leon Panetta, gave even close to the correct answer, saying that the president needs to address the American people on this issue head-on.
I think the only way George can salvage his presidency right now is to RIF a couple of dozen people immediately, starting with the one and only Karl K. Rove. Not that this will actually happen, of course, but I think it's the only way Bush can thrash aside his incredibly early status as a lame duck. Heads need to roll. Now.
Anyway, you can claim disappointment in the indictment or try to sell it short, but it accomplishes a number of things. It directly connects on paper the leak and the White House. It places VP Cheney closer to the investigation than before. It establishes certain facts that right-wing talking heads cherished obsfucating. Most important, it requires a trial with an A-List witness list.
This indictment is just the beginning. Yee-haw.
P.S. KIAV predicts that Bush's next nominee for associate Supreme Court Justice of the United States will be:
John Cornyn.
