Hopefully hoping against dashed hopes .....
From Maddow tonight ......

So now it is at least three times we the people have been told by our president that the torturers will not be prosecuted and that we should all look forward. The only thing new is today's CIA remarks making this the third presidential announcement of the disinclination to prosecute. That and the 6 waterboardings a day against that mug shot guy, KSM, with the bad head hair and copious back hair.

And just when you've breathed "what the fuck, why do I bother caring?" she has breaking news (that actually broke last Friday, but oh well), Spikey Mikey Issikoff, who I tend to trust a bit less than the distance I could toss him, we hear the AG Holder is the *only one* in the administration out of step with the rest.

Seems ol' Eric is all about investigating and may be on the verge of calling out a special prosecutor or investigator, or whatever.

Would someone please grab my ears and stop my head from spinning?

3. I hope that the ones being tricked by a very very smart Obama are the
fucking wingnuts.
I hope.
I pray.
Off to my newly constructed prayer room to pray for more and more smarts for my President.

4. Well
Just not giving the right wing any more ammo or sound bites to use.

Besides. It isn't the POTUS' job, is it? Let's let Holder step up to the plate.

5. I just can't get over it...
Every person that worked at Gitmo, or Abu Ghraib should be prosecuted.

8. Read his stuff in the Prelude To The Aftermath Of A Presidential Blowjob
He earned the name Spikey then for spiking stories.

He did much the same in the cause of Idiot Son's election and subsequent rush into Iraq.

Judy Miller with shorter hair ..... sortakindaalmost.
