VERBAL MASTURBATION

I'm going to warn you, reading some of this may be hard on your stomach.

Isn't it amazing how quickly the Get Tough On Crime ™ right wing reverses course when one of its own is roasted by the criminal justice system? Check out the nauseating, effusive paeans written by some of the leading conservative figures in Washington pleading for mercy re: I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby. My favorite:

He and his family have endured crushing public humiliation as a result of unceasing press coverage. The media commentary about Mr. Libby has often been particularly unfair.

Although he did not "out" Ms. Wilson, Mr. Libby has been continually blamed with leaking or orchestrating the leak of her identity. As the evidence at trial showed, as far back as September 2003, reporters were insinuating that Mr.

Libby was the leaker. Indeed, based on such false assumptions, Mr. Libby has been repeatedly and wrongfully accused by some people of serious crimes including treason. The burden of relentless and unfair media coverage has fallen heaviest on Mr.

Libby's young children, and imprisonment would separate him from them at a particularly formative time in their lives.

Well that just broke my fucking heart. We'll be very lucky, as the Shellac song goes, if I don't bust out crying before I can type any more.

See, let's get this straight. The criminal justice system is for poor people. And more specifically, it is for poor brown people. Scooter Libby may have committed a felony or two, but he's such a good guy! People like him just don't go to prison. Sure, he violated the law with serious adverse consequences, but all the "good things" he's done (like apparently bringing democracy to the peoples of Eastern Europe single-handedly) mean that it's only right for the justice system to give him a pass. That's how it works, right? You just tell the judge "But I've done some good things too!" and then they let you go….right? Or just tell him you have kids.

The justice system has never separated parent from child before.

This is the most incredible U-turn in correctional philosophies since Rush "One strike and you're out, mandatory life for drug dealers" Limbaugh had his opiate addiction exposed. If you'll recall the response to that situation, Rush didn't deserve to be punished. He admitted that he had a problem and sought help. All those black people in jail must just want to be in jail. All you need to do to avoid jail is say you're sorry, dummies.
