'Fitzmas in July' Canceled, Dems Distraught
Democrats are distraught over reports that leakgate special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald has decided not to indict senior White House adviser Karl Rove. A sampling of liberal Web sites shortly after the news was announced Tuesday morning featured reaction ranging from disbelief to denial to the desperate hope that Rove has turned states' evidence against Vice President Dick Cheney. "How could this snake slither away from an indictment?" complained one visitor to the Huffington Post Web site - where bloggers had confidently predicted that Fitzgerald's probe would yield up to 23 White House indictments. "This man lied to the D.C. Grand Jury and he gets off scot-free? Where's the justice?" the same poster complained.
Story Continues Below Another disappointed Huff Post Democrat simply lamented: "There is no God." Over at the Daily Kos, reaction was even more harsh: "This is appalling, and any D.C. jury, and many main street USA juries, would find them guilty . . . It really, really is a bad precedent to allow a criminal to have free rein in the White House." Another Daily Kos poster was in abject denial, insisting; "I personally will believe nothing about this until I hear it from Patrick Fitzgerald himself." Still another Kos poster saw a silver lining in the Rove non-indictment cloud, explaining: "If Rove flipped, then Fitzgerald believes it will give him Cheney. And he may damn well be right."
