Feverish Behind the Stone Wall

You wouldn't know it to watch MSGOP or FAUX or even to read the New York Pravda, but things in Washington this week are little high strung.

Perhaps some of the best day to day summaries of the story are found at firedoglake.

Start here. I agree with Reddhedd. The Company has rules, and Bu$hCo, after all, is a subsidiary of the Company, not the other way around.

The WHIG is about to be spanked.

The next post concerns what Karl Rove sang about last Friday.

Jane Hamsher notices that buried within last Sunday's Mea Culpa is the real land mine: Judy admits to having more than one source- although she can't remember who the other one was.

But no worries, campers. Just because The Queen of All Iraq doesn't want to sleep with the fishes- she knows the kinds of people her old boyfriend works for, after all- doesn't mean there isn't somebody willing to join the witness protection program. Even better: the disinformation reported by the leakers seems to point to the same place.

That just brings us up to this week.

Now that it's clear that the Company- sorry, Porter Goss, but you've been Brownied, it seems- is going after Cheneyburton, and the entire WHIG, the mud is really starting to fly.

But Fitzgerald trained busting the Chicago political combine, and let's face it: he probably figures he won't be in any worse dangers from hired DynCorp thugs than he might be from anyone the Daley family might send after him.

What's even more delicious is this: thanks to what the Republicans did to Bill Clinton, if Wilson and Plame start a civil action once the criminal charges are settled, Dear Leader and Lord Cheneyburton may have to testify. In open court. Under oath.

Without a wire.

As I've said, I’m just curious how far Fitzgerald’s going to go with this. Or how far the Company lets him go with it. If it were up to Negroponte and Goss, I'm sure Fitzgerald would be dropped from a helicopter over Nicaragua. In unrecognizable pieces.

I don’t think for a minute the entire Company will be effected by the dissolution of the WHIG, although it could be. Especially if the Company wasn't behind the dissolution of the WHIG. And it is, make no mistake about it.

I think rather that the whole Jeff Gannon incident pointed out the unreliability of Rove and of Junior himself to the Company Board.

Rove and Scooter and Judy maybe are being made examples. At this point, Junior himself could be superfluous to the whole enterprise. The Company owns the government, and Poppy’s errant son has served his purpose.

Certainly his arrogant advisors have.
