More Hype

I'm really bored with all the hype surrounding the Karl Rove scandal. I hate how politics in this country is defined by these polarizing stories which dominate the news cycles and completely take away from what is really important.

Let's get a couple of facts straight:

1) Karl Rove did something stupid, for stupid reasons
2) Bush will not fire Karl Rove
3) A reporter is in jail (and she didn't write anything - why isn't Novak in jail?)

You can twist this situation any way you wish, but it is simply another example of why I am sick of Washington partisan bickering. This occurs on both sides of the aisle. Whether you are dirtier as a Republican or a Democrat means nothing to me; I just hate how the blogosphere and the media gets dominated by an issue that at most affects a handful of people. (This sort of situation also makes me really not want to become a lawyer.)

While this issue grips America and demonstrates how "different" Republicans and Democrats are, millions of citizens are without health care, without decent public schools, and dying from obesity.

Comments:
Reminds me of Watergate. Nixon was not sacked for illegally invading one country (Cambodia), and killing hundreds of thousands. He was not sacked for the Christmas bombings or the deliberate bombing of North Vietnamese food supplies, dams, and irrigation channels. He was sacked because he messed with people who could fight back.

Same goes for Bush. He illegally invaded a country that has cost thousands of lives (both Iraqi and American), lied about weapons of mass destruction and the al-Qaeda/Saddam link. But the liberals are at arms because of this Karl Rove thing. We should not be surprised.

Reed, can you name one thing you dislike about the Bush administration, or are they God's gift to the world?
 
Let's just let him be. No more right-wing left-wing debates. Gives me a headache.
 
Let's not get this blog reduced to personal attacks, please.

Liberal talking points? I was just providing a general overview of what's going on. I could care less if Rove heard the info from the press or if Valerie Wilson was not technically "covert." The fact that you believe so strongly in these justifications that you are correct reflects what I will characterize as excessive combativeness.

I also disagree with your comment that reporters "get so caught up in their delusions of grandeur." You may be able to provide anecdotal evidence to the contrary, I would argue that most journalists are not egomaniacs. Why else would they choose such a relatively unprestigious and lowpaying profession?
