BUSH, CHENEY "ACTUALLY INVOLVED" IN CIA LEAK

From ABC's This Week courtesy of
Crooks and Liars:

Definitely a political problem but I wonder, George Will, do you think it’s a manageable one for the White House especially if we don’t know whether Fitzgerald is going to write a report or have indictments but if he is able to show as a source close to this told me this week, that President Bush and Vice President Cheney were actually involved in some of these discussions.

The above quote comes from This Week's host, George Stephanopoulos. If true, I think the ramifications are obvious: the President bears direct responsibility for illegally blowing the cover of a CIA agent for political purposes. That is, such an act easily rises to the level of "high crime" or high "misdemeanor," and is consequently an impeachable offense. While that's not likely while the Republicans control Congress, it'll be great fun watching the GOP explain why it's okay to not go after Bush.


As Atrios likes to say, pass the popcorn.
