What the Truck?!
Go read Steve Soto from earlier this morning. Concerning the recent weirdness over the raid of Congressman William Jefferson’s Capitol Hill office by the FBI:
I doubt that Cheney, for his part, really raised an objection to the raid on constitutional grounds and any newfound concern for a separation of powers, two things that have been an alien concept to him and his staff for five years now. Cheney may have felt the way he did because 1) he correctly calculated that the raid would cost Bush whatever remaining support he had inside his own caucus for his agenda in an election year; 2) he doesn’t want Republicans investigated at all and wants Justice to Deep Six the Abramoff and Cunningham inquiries because of where they will lead; and 3) he saw a chance to stick it to Rove and Abu in the ongoing internal White House pissing contest.
On a related note, I think the Republican leadership have finally hit that wall where they can no longer convince the American People that tax cuts and Jesus H. Christ in their morning coffee are the answers to everything.
I’ll have no truck with crookedness in any branch of the Government. But what the hell is going on? Denny Hastert —who looks like he is a day away from a massive coronary— is sticking up for Jefferson when Nancy Pelosi would rather have the guy disappear? The harvest from Jefferson’s office is being impounded until “something” can be worked out?
I don’t get this one.
