Irony

Via Digby:

"He's a vile, detestable, moralistic person with no heart and no conscience who believes he's been tapped by God to do very important things," one White House ally said, referring to special counsel Patrick Fitzgerald.

The irony in this statement is so thick you need an electric drill to stir it. Ever hear of projection? It really is quite instructive to watch the pretzel twists that political hacks will undergo to defend a position.

One thing that is definately missing in politics from a by-gone era is shame. Today, there virtually no shame in looking right into the camera (as Kay Baily Hutchinson did the other day) and making an utter and complete fool of yourself. And btw, I don't limit that observations to conservatives. And after shaming yourself,...or getting indicted....there's always a gig for you on FOX or any other cable news channel that thrives on car-wreck watching ratings.
