Advice and Contempt


Delibbyrating is hard work:

"Before commuting the prison sentence ... President Bush and a small circle of advisers delved deeply into the evidence in the case ... people familiar with the deliberations said. "

Party Like it's 1789

People who live in echo chambers tend to develop tin ears.

For months the Libby enablers have bounced their fabrications off the MSM walls and so successfully shut off any contrary polling or debate that they actually believed there was a groundswell of Free Scooter mania in the public at large. And now the Coconspirator-in-Chief has joined their triumphalist ranks

Only now do we begin to hear cable news references to the 70% of Americans who oppose a pardon and the bipartisan belief in equal treatment under law. Suddenly the sweet soliloquies the Washington establishment has been singing to itself can be heard for how they resonate with the American people -- one gigantic false and stomach-turning note.

The genius of the American ruling class has always been its ability to disguise itself. We are all created equal with an equal right to a piece of the American dream with credit cards and justice for all. Whenever these beliefs have come into question, the elites have responded with a New Deal, Great Society, New Morning in America, leaving us content with our participation while they continue about their business behind closed doors.

But this lawless and contemptuous action is so naked in its assertion of the special privileges of the elite, of its right to get away with everything and not suffer the consequences the rest of us must face, that it threatens to undo a couple centuries' worth of PR on behalf of the American way. Americans will tolerate the elite so long as they don't act like one. I don't think the American people will tolerate this declaration of independence for all the president's perps and the arrogant class of sycophants and careerists who made them possible.
