…blanket immunity? I know you can.
I’m seriously doubtful that it will happen, but I’m actually a bit worried that it might actually fly if it did. Many have pointed out the possibility that the only reason the Plame story has any wings at all is that the Washington press corps got its collective chain yanked on this one. I wonder if there is enough institutional fortitude left within that cowed body to withstand a Republican congressional investigation into the alleged abuses of Fitzgerald. Could everybody really look the other way once Rove has congressional immunity and focus on something unrelated to the original issue, or would it backfire into the mother of all shitstorms?
Whatever. Just feeling a little paranoid this evening I suppose. That can be fun sometimes.
