Capitol Fuckery

The CIA is going to learn the old rule for governmental misdeeds: "It's not the crime that brings you down, it's the coverup."
Porter J. Goss, the former director of the Central Intelligence Agency, in 2005 approved of the decision by one of his top aides to destroy dozens of videotapes documenting the brutal interrogation of two detainees, according to an internal C.I.A. document released Thursday.

...

The e-mail messages also reveal that top White House officials were angry that the C.I.A. had not notified them before the tapes were destroyed. The e-mail messages mention a conversation between Harriet E. Miers, the White House counsel, and John A. Rizzo, the C.I.A.’s top lawyer, in which Ms. Miers was “livid” about being told after the fact.
It's called "destruction of evidence". It could be some decent time in a Federal rest home.

Here's one from the "No Shit, Sherlock" files: The Republicans are going to stand up for the interests of Wall Street and the banksters. One more, the GOP is showing that they have been in the pocket of the banksters and Wall Street since before the Great Depression and that is not going to change anytime soon.

Yeah, like that's any surprise. There are certainly enough Democrats who are inclined to carry water for the banksters, but the party of Hoover is shameless about it.

The commercials almost write themselves:

"Republicans: Standing Up For the Same People Who Wrecked the Economy"

"Out of Work? Thank a Republican!"
