Richard Cohen = I Got Nothing

In a continuing effort to increase his own un-importance in the paradigm of national debate, Richard "Dick" Cohen offers this incoherent bullshit:

Let This Leak Go

The best thing Patrick Fitzgerald could do for his country is get out of Washington, return to Chicago and prosecute some real criminals. As it is, all he has done so far is send Judith Miller of the New York Times to jail and repeatedly haul this or that administration high official before a grand jury, investigating a crime that probably wasn't one in the first place but that now, as is often the case, might have metastasized into some sort of coverup -- but, again, of nothing much. Go home, Pat....

And why should he do this Dick? Oh please let us hear why the outing of a CIA Operative should be dismissed.

In the Plame case, it might technically be one (a crime), but it was not the intent of anyone to out a CIA agent and have her assassinated (which happened once) but to assassinate the character of her husband. This is an entirely different thing. She got hit by a ricochet.

I am really trying to control myself here, but it is not working. Dick, is your head so far up the administrations ass that you cannot see three inches past you nose? Maybe this is a cry for help?

"Oh please help me, the WaPo corporate suits are making me write this crap. Maybe if I sound like a rank amateur, that couldn't convince a man on fire that jumping into water is a good idea, someone will call me on this garbage!"

We are here for you Dick. We are here for you.

I have no idea what Fitzgerald will do. My own diligent efforts to find out anything have come to naught. Fitzgerald's non-speaking spokesman would not even tell me if his boss is authorized to issue a report, as several members of Congress are now demanding....

Ah! So there's the rub, eh? You couldn't get anything for your little Op-Ed from Fitzgerald so now you are practicing character assassination? Is that it Dick? You got nothing. Lest we forget the conclusion to this riveting piece of cat turd.

This is why I want Fitzgerald to leave now. Do not bring trivial charges -- nothing about conspiracies, please -- and nothing about official secrets, most of which are known to hairdressers, mistresses and dog walkers all over town. Please, Mr. Fitzgerald, there's so much crime in Washington already. Don't commit another.

Lets define conspiracy first, ok Dick?

Conspiracy in law - As a legal term, conspiracy has historically been defined, in America, as an agreement of two or more people to commit a crime, or to accomplish a legal end through illegal actions. For example, planning to rob a bank in order to raise money for charity is still an illegal conspiracy. The conspiracy does not need to have been planned in secret in order to meet the definition of the crime. No specific intent need be proven.

This is exactly what the Fitzgerald's investigation is about Dick. Please take my advice from a previous response to another of your inane blatherings. Give it up Dick. You've got nothing.
