Coo Coo Ca Choo, Mrs. Greenspan
Andrea Mitchell, on Harderballs sans Tweety, said that the public supports a pardon for Scooter Libby. Well, CNN polled aforementioned "public" and only 19% supported a pardon. Question: Did she poll the other "ps" in our putrid capital, like pols, pundits and parasites?
Andrea Mitchell is MSM like yesterday's Cobb Salad. The blue cheese is rather stinky. My mixed feelings on Davey Brooks continue, but at least he said that he doesn't support a pardon and that Libby was probably guilty AND that Libby was a nice guy. All of these MSM Washingtonians blathering about how Libby gave twelve kidneys to orphans and carried Mother Theresa across hot coals to rub aloe on lepers... that does not change the goddamn motherfucking FACT that he was found guilty by a jury of eleven of his peers.
Wanna increase public confidence in the media? Don't do what Andrea Mitchell did. Don't go on the air with no numbers and say that the public wants Libby pardoned, when the public does NOT want Libby pardoned.
Don't whine about what a nice guy he is. We know. We don't care. "Nice guy" is not a defense of perjury. "Nice guy" doesn't get you a pardon.
Next time you say these things, Beltwayheads, say this, too: We've put many an innocent man to death in this country. We've exonerated people (see Innocence Project) through DNA evidence after. So, if you want to gripe about injustice in the judicial system, maybe you should start there. Because nobody's giving Scooter a lethal injection anytime soon.
