Scooter Goes to Jail

Aren't those four words absolutely beautiful!!!

Once again a lying thieving loyal Bushie goes to prison. And not soon enough. Maybe, eventually, the Repugnican scum will figure out that following the Bush and Cheney lead of lying at every turn isn't such a good idea.

Repugnican pundits have claimed for ages that Scooter really didn't do anything wrong. But Scooter really did something wrong. He lied. And not only did he lie, he lied under oath. Last time I checked lying under oath is called perjury and its a really serious thing. Its not like a frat boy prank. Its the big leagues.

This is what Wikipedia has to say about perjury

Perjury is the act of lying or making verifiably false statements on a material matter under oath or affirmation in a court of law or in any of various sworn statements in writing. Perjury is a crime because the witness has sworn to tell the truth and, for the credibility of the court, witness testimony must be relied on as being truthful. Perjury is considered a serious offense as it can be used to usurp the power of the courts, resulting in miscarriages of justice. In the United States, for example, the general perjury statute under Federal law provides for a prison sentence of up to five years, and is found at 18 U.S.C. § 1621. See also 28 U.S.C. § 1746.

I'd say that was pretty serious stuff. And unlike Bill Clinton lying about cheating on his wife and getting a sloppy blowjob, Scooter lied about an issue of national security involving an undercover CIA agent. Which is worse? Lying about a blowjob when you're not under oath, or about someone high up in the national security apparatus while you are under oath? I think the blowjob falls by the wayside.

There is considerable speculation about Bush pardoning this despicable piece of flotsam before he has to spend time in jail. Bush's standing with the 'Merikun public is so bad now even he isn't stupid enough to give Scooter a free ride. At least I don't think so.

On the day Tom DeLay was indicted I went to the website of the company that produces KY Jelly and had two tubes of it mailed to Tommy's Capitol Hill office address. Along with it I included a note suggesting that he might find this handy while in prsion.

After sending the KY to Tommy a friend admonished me for letting Tommy get off easy in jail. My friend suggested sand paper instead

With that in mind, not long after the 30 month verdict for Scooter was announced I ordered some sand paper and had it mailed to Scooter along with a note suggesting that he provide it to his cell mate. I'm sure he'll know how to put it to good use.
