just for perspective, donnie didn't invent blowing classified covers for base political purposes.

cheney blew valerie plame's cover, reveal classified information, and blew apart an entire network of covert people and businesses designed to gather intell about the international proliferation of nuclear weapons and materials.

he hurt our ability to track nuclear materials, he hurt our ability to recruit informants, and he likely got some people who were trying to help america killed.


and he did all this as petty payback for a memo that plame's *husband* wrote that didn't follow the party line being used to fabricate a rationale for the invasion of iraq.



so while it's fun to note all the ways donnie is completely off the charts wacko, remember that he's just one more logical step down a well-trodden republican path.


they've been doing irresponsible, autocratic crap for a long time.
