Vice President's aide I. Lewis Libby has resigned after being indicted by a grand jury. Strangely enough the liberal media is not as ecstatic as they would like to be, they were hoping for a Karl Rove indictment or at least an indictment of criminal acts. Libby has been indicted for: obstructing justice, making false statements and perjury. I would have thought that lying under oath was now an accepted thing at least among liberals. I seem to remember a president who lied under oath and was said to be totally justified in doing so, because "Republicans were out to get him." I listened to the press conference that Prosecutor Fitzgerald held today and the only questions that the reporters asked were whether Karl Rove could somehow be indicted or if there were a chance that other administration officials could be. That sounds to me like the media out to "get someone."

Harriet Miers withdrew her nomination yesterday and the conservatives have won a victory. I don't profess to know anything about her that would make her a bad judge nor anything about her that would make her a good judge. Evangelical Christian leaders were told by White House officials that she would vote to overturn Roe v. Wade; but first Roe v. Wade would have to be brought to the table and nothing could insure that. Roe v. Wade is a cruel decision I think, but we don't need a judge who will overturn it solely on its cruelty, we need a judge (judges actually) who will overturn it for its unconstitutionality. Roe v. Wade should have been given to the American people to decided, not forced down there throats by 7 men in black robes.

The big news in politics lately has been whether or not Karl Rove will be indicted for revealing the name of a CIA Agent. VP Cheney's top advisor "Scooter" Libby is also under suspicion.
I have two things to ask the liberals as they gush over this news:
1. Why is this so important? Valerie Plame was not a covert agent. She had no reason to hide her identity any more than George Tenet (ex-CIA Director). Plame gathered intelligence, compiled it from agents in the field.
2. Valerie Plame was named as a CIA Agent in Who's Who In America (I forget which year). In the entry on Joseph Wilson, it clearly names his wife and her occupation.

The New York Times breathlessly announced today that Harriet Meirs sent George W. Bush a birthday card in 1997 that said "You are the best governor ever-deserving of great respect." According to the Times this is an example of Bush appointing a crony. Wouldn't it be normal for a employee to praise her employer on his birthday? Since when has congratulating an employer become cronyism? Where was the NYT when Jimmy Carter was appointing people who had laundered money for his campaign to important positions?

"I would honor the man who would give his country a good newspaper." -Rutherford B. Hayes, 19th Pres. of the USA-

I haven't said anything about Bush's nominee to replace Sandra Day O'Connor because I have been trying to learn more about her and what other people think of her. But I decided I should say something, so here it goes.
I personally would have preferred a nominee who is a known staunch conservative. President Bush was the one who interviewed the candidates and if he thinks that Harriet Meirs is the one for this spot, I cannot say otherwise, I know very little about this woman. Some conservatives are reaching the boiling point over the fact that she supported Al Gore for president in the 1988 democratic primary, I say "So what?" Zell Miller (former governor\senator from Georgia) supported Bill Clinton for president but has since proved himself a true conservative. There are times when we all do stupid things, for the Republicans it was choosing to run Bob Dole against Clinton in '96, but I digress. Whether this woman is the right person for the job or not I don't know, but I'll I hope and pray that she is.
