Reply #4: Think about having them release it last fall

Rmemember, Stupid hadn't tried to cheap out on tsunami relief, Katrina hadn't showed what an incompetent boob he was at picking department heads, and the Plame scandal hadn't really taken off. Most people still believed in his wonderful ability to fight the terriers trying to hold us hostile, something like 2/3 did. He might have been given the benefit of the doubt this time last year. Do you really want that?

This year people are finally waking up to what that thing in the White House is really up to. This latest revelation that he has gone outside the law to do exactly what Richard Nixon did (and yes, that name still carries quite an odor) is just the strychnine icing on the arsenic cake. He won't be given the benefit of the doubt now. Too many people are on to him.

What I'd really like to know is why the NYT broke the story this week. Why not two weeks ago or after the New Year? What changed to make them finally expose the impeachable crime they'd been hiding for a year?

That's the big question here. We've got a good idea who he was spying on and why, and it had nothing to do with national security. He could easily get warrants for that stuff, even weeks after the fact, if need be. What we need to know is what changed last week that they finally told us it was going on.
