Does This Sound Like A Moonbat To You?

Something is rotten in the heart of Washington; and it lies in the vice-president’s office. The salience of this case is obvious. What it is really about – what it has always been about – is whether this administration deliberately misled the American people about WMD intelligence before the war. The risks Cheney took to attack Wilson, the insane over-reaction that otherwise very smart men in this administration engaged in to rebut a relatively trivial issue: all this strongly implies the fact they were terrified that the full details of their pre-war WMD knowledge would come out. Fitzgerald could smell this. He was right to pursue it, and to prove that a brilliant, intelligent, sane man like Libby would risk jail to protect his bosses. What was he really trying to hide? We now need a Congressional investigation to find out more, to subpoena Cheney and, if he won’t cooperate, consider impeaching him.

Hmmm…who could have said that?

Was it a politician?

John Kerry? Nancy Pelosi? Ted Kennedy? John Conyers?

No.

Was it a member of the Liberal Hollywood Establishment?

Micheal Moore? Sean Penn? Susan Sarandon? Warren Beatty?

No.

Maybe it was one of those crazy moonbat bloggers?

Glenn Greewwald? Digby? Jane Hamsher? The Rude Pundit?

No.

No, my friends, that quote came from none other than Proud Log-Cabin Republican, Iraq War Cheerleader, and All-Around Bush Adminstration Suckup Andrew Sullivan

The conservative movement is done. Put a fork in it. When talking-point-spewing spinmeisters leading conservative talking heads like Sullivan start talking like this we’re into Nixon territory. It will be very interesting to see if Cheney can survive this. Even Faux News is talking about it.
