Mmmmm... gravy

Mmmmm... gravy. What'll really be fun is when our water supply is fully privatized, too. Picture Pickles Bush astride her jetski in the midst of a drought, saying -with that patent-leather smile- "the people can't afford water? Well, let them drink Pepsi!"

Oh and- where the hell is Robert Novak in all this? Why are Judith Miller and Matthew Cooper going to jail when Robert Novak gets off scot-free? If he has already cooperated with the prosecution, and the identity of the leak is already known, then this judge admits he's deciding against precedent. If he didn't cooperate, then -ahem- why the hell isn't he in the same hot water, or worse? It was he, after all, who originally published the offending name. Would someone please explain, what the hell is going on here?

George is a complete embarrassment. I'm reminded of the story his mother told, about how she made him sit at the far end of the table from Queen Elizabeth on Her Majesty's visit to the GHWBush White House way back when. Because she was afraid he'd embarrass himself, of course.
