Interesting comments from “Pajama Media.”

“2) There is now no journalism as we knew it. It died during the campaign. And so we have no mainstream media audit of politics other than the vestigial shrill warnings about the last three months of the dangerous Bush administration. From the New York Times, NPR, PBS, or Newsweek, we will hear little whether Obama is choosing a good or bad team, or said silly things or contradicts what he promised. They simply have lost all credibility and now the republic is left largely with bloggers, talk radio, and a few newspapers as mostly partisan auditors. This puts the mainstream media in a terrible bind. If Gitmo is not closed immediately, are the victimized detainees there suddenly redefined as terrible killers who can’t be let out? If adhered to, does the Petraeus-Bush withdrawal plan to leave Iraq by 2011, suddenly become sober and judicious? If not tampered with, do FISA and the Patriotic Act morph into reasonable measures? Does the economy suddenly improve on January 21, and Afghanistan become stable? Will anyone believe a Katie Couric, Chris Matthews, the front page of the New York Times, or listen to Andrea Mitchell when they speak of Obama? The media has bet that there was no efficacy to Guantánamo, the Patriot Act and similar provisions, and Iraq. But the fact is in the same period we were not attacked. If there were a connection between the two (and many of us think that there was), then shutting down Gitmo, repealing the Patriot Act, and getting quickly out of Iraq could be done within the first year easily and without risk. But will it happen, and if so, what would be the reaction following another 9/11-like attack?

This is not my concern, but rather what advisors to Obama are currently mulling out. Again, traditional journalism as we knew it —the big dailies, the weekly news magazines, the networks, public radio and TV—no longer exists. Death by suicide. RIP—around March, 2008.”

The depression era gangsters had their own soldiers for muscle to rob, steal, plunder, torture and murder and whatever local politicians, police and judges they could buy to keep them out of jail. The Bush administration gangsters had the US military for muscle and the entire Republican controlled judicial system to avoid prosecution for the same things. Organized crime didn’t go away, it graduated to Nation’s Capitol. They can investigate and indict guys like Gonzales and Cheney all they want but five will get you ten, they’ll walk since it’s Texas poltics. The only crime you can get jailed for in Texas is losing a football game or joining a labor union.

nice cut and paste job, tango-star…
as usual…no ideas of you own…
do you have any ideas of your own?
or do you just repeat rush, sean and faux news?

concerning alberto gonzales and DICK cheney…
bush would just pardon them as he is gonna pardon convicted jack abe and scooter…
no respect for justice

At least some measure of justice peaks through. It’s ironic that its over prison abuse when Cheney and Gonzales enabled and approved torture at Gitmo and Abu Graib. They’re war criminals, busted in Texas.

And what’s up with the bizarre conspiracy theories the right-wing is embracing? Next we’re going to hear that Bigfoot engineered Obama’s victory instead of the American electorate. Are there an conservatives left who have a grip on reality?

“bush would just pardon them …” — llbean

And yet onto the stage and into the spotlight steps Eric Holder…

Bwaaha-ha-ha!

Here is one for all of the conspiracy theorists out there. The Texas jury indictment of Cheney and Gonzales was made so that they could be pardoned by Bush.

Bush can only pardon at the federal level, these are state charges. The Gov of Texas would have to grant a pardon.

What you say may be true, however, I have not noticed that this particular President and Vice President have been constrained by such minor details as federal and state laws.

It takes a shmuck to link Lieberman retaining his committee chair to actual indictments reported on in the same article.
