Oh, but it matters, it matters!

First off, a round of indictments will make me very happy.

Secondly, if the weasels in the White House are turning on each other and expending all their time and mental energy defending themselves against perjury, conspiracy, or other charges... then they have less time to figure out how to ruin the country.

Thirdly, if indictments come down it will give reporters carte blanche to talk about the White House Iraq Group, doctored intelligence, and all the fun nooks and crannies of Bushite misdeeds.

Fourth, some indictments in the Plame case would go wonderfully with a plate of Jack Abramoff, a side of Tom Delay, and a glass of Bill Frist. Once those various scandals are public knowledge, just about the whole Republican power structure will have been tainted in one way or another.


Now, I agree that a lot of Americans are dumbasses. There was just a poll saying that over 50% of Americans don't believe in evolution. That's probably the same 50% that voted for Bush. However, if more people find out about the sleazy way the Republican leadership works, and they connect it with the crappy war we have going, the borrow and spend economic policies, and the massive levels of incompetence... then some of them might wake up and change their mind come the next election.

Let's hope that we can all say "Merry Fitzmas!" sometime this week.
