Holy... (!)

Read this! The whole thing!

This is the definition of righteous anger:

Your party has set aflame the entire political landscape, and now, once burned, you warn sternly from the branches of a burnt-out tree about "playing with fire". You used the ashes of one of the great liberal cities of America, New York City, as war paint for your own sick, racist dreams. You shudder at a burning flag, yet are willing to snip-and-cut basic tenets of the Constitution as needed or convenient.

And now, you're outraged, not by any of the rest of it, not by anything that has come before, but because a few prominent Republican faces have -- shock of shocks -- been indicted in probes that have spanned years of investigation, and interrogation, and deposition. That, you say, represents the underpinnings of a civil war.

Thank you Hunter.

A little background reading:

DeLay is indicted, leaves post:

Representative Tom DeLay of Texas, the second-ranking Republican in the House and one of the most powerful legislators on Capitol Hill, stepped down from his post as majority leader yesterday, after a state grand jury indicted him on a charge of criminal conspiracy. The grand jurors alleged that he and two associates had funneled corporate campaign contributions through the Republican National Committee and a political action committee connected to DeLay.

Frists' HCA Now Under Investigation by SEC

Federal prosecutors and the [SEC] ... are probing [Senate Majority Leader Bill] Frist's sale of stock in HCA, the Nashville, Tenn.-based company that grew into the nation's largest for-profit health care chain.

[...]

Documents show that while HCA insiders were selling millions of dollars of their own stock this year, they were also painting an upbeat picture of the company's outlook for investors.

Things are looking bad for the Republicans. And therefore, looking good for our country.
