'Fitzmas in July' Canceled, Dems Distraught

Democrats are distraught over reports that Leakgate Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald has decided not to indict senior White House advisor Karl Rove.

A sampling of liberal Web sites shortly after the news was announced Tuesday morning featured reaction ranging from disbelief to denial to the desperate hope that Rove has turned states' evidence against Vice President Dick Cheney.

"How could this snake slither away from an indictment?" complained one visitor to the Huffington Post Web site - where bloggers had confidently predicted that Fitzgerald's probe would yield up to 23 White House indictments.

"This man lied to the D.C. Grand Jury and he gets off scot-free? Where's the justice?" the same poster complained.

Another disappointed HuffPo Democrat simply lamented: "There is no God."
Over at the Daily Kos, reaction was even more harsh:

"This is appalling, and any D.C. jury, and many Main Street USA juries, would find them guilty . . . It really, really is a bad precedent to allow a criminal to have free rein in the White House."

Another Daily Kos'er was in abject denial, insisting; "I personally will believe nothing about this until I hear it from Patrick Fitzgerald himself." Still another Kos'er saw a silver lining in the Rove non-indictment cloud, explaining: "If Rove flipped, then Fitzgerald believes it will give him Cheney. And he may damn well be right."

All the crooks will get what is coming to them eventually, maybe not soon, but justice will catch up to them.

True. Justice caught up with Patrick Kennedy today, and word is that Jefferson's indicted is coming down any time soon.

Oh, that darn "Culture of Corruption".

I agree. Eventually Clinton will get what is coming to him.

I love it... I think this means the Republicans hold control of Congress too. Better than a 70% chance. It would take a disaster between now and November for them to lose it IMO.

For what? Some imaginary crimes made up by the right-wing?

Lying under oath is not an imaginary crime.

Aquitted or not, it's still a crime. He just has never been punished for it.

Apparently, in this case, outing a CIA operative's identity to the press as political payback isn't against the law. But it certainly isn't something I would be proud of, as it appears many of you are.

Apparently, in this case, the Special Prosecutor didn't file charges because Rove didn't do anything wrong. Something isn't true because you want it to be true.
