Peering into the Heart of Slime

An outline:

1. Before the war, documents show up, BushCo says they prove Saddam was getting uranium from Niger.

2. Guy in the know makes a stink about how they are fake.

3. Guy's wife is outed as a CIA agent, obviously as payback.

4. We get stuck in a dumb-ass war, primarily to keep Saddam from being a threat with his WMDs, which turn out not to exist.

5.Karl Rove, it now seems, is likely to have outed the CIA agent, which is a serious breakage of the law.

6. But who's behind the fake documents? Inquiring minds want to know.

7. Also, in a Zogby poll "more than two-in-five voters (42%) say they would favor impeachment proceedings if it is found the President misled the nation about his reasons for going to war with Iraq." And in a WashPost/ABC poll a majority of Americans think BushCo "intentionally misled the American public" in making the case for the Iraq war and 57 percent think that it "intentionally exaggerate[d] its evidence" that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction.

I'm just thinking of this scene from "The Big Lebowski":

WALTER: This is what happens when you FUCK a STRANGER in the ASS, Larry.

(As Walter walks out of the house)

WALTER: Fucking language problem, Dude. Little prick stonewalling me.

(Walter pulls a crowbar out of The Dude's trunk)

WALTER: Maybe he'll understand this. YOU SEE WHAT HAPPENS, LARRY! YOU SEE WHAT HAPPENS?! THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU FUCK A STRANGER IN THE ASS! HERE'S WHAT HAPPENS, LARRY! THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU FUCK A STRANGER IN THE ASS!

(As Walter begins to smash a red Corvette outside Larry's house with Larry watching out the window)
