Blogged by Brad on our way out of Nashville…
Looking back at the original CNN report from February 11, 2004, announcing that a Special Prosecutor had been assigned to the CIA Leak matter, it’s clear that what Bush had said at the time is exactly what he meant…
“If there’s a leak out of my administration, I want to know who it is,” Bush told reporters at an impromptu news conference during a fund-raising stop in Chicago, Illinois. “If the person has violated law, that person will be taken care of.”
Scooter has now been well “taken care of”, so once again, George W. Bush has proven to be a man of his word.
Though his interest in “want[ing] to know who” may have leaked the classified identify of a covert CIA operative overseeing worldwide WMD networks may have been somewhat overstated. As we recently learned during sworn Congressional testimony, White House Security Chief, Joe Knodell admitted that they never bothered to launch an investigation into the matter.
“Leaks of classified information are bad things,” the Commutator-in-Chief said, apparently just kidding, back in early 2004.
UPDATE: Not yet “taken care of” enough, Bush refuses to rule out a full pardon…
He’s so stupid he never really understands what he sets in motion. Check out what Joe Wilson has to say:

Bush’ll “take care of” ’em. Your interpretation is how I’ve been interpreting this all along, and I’ve been surprised that no one else seemed to see it that way.
George W. Bush. What a great guy. Really can be counted on to help out his friends.
Exactly.
So you neoCon congressmen who have to face election in 2008 take note.
Those of you like Lugar and Hagel who jump ship will not be taken care of by republican electronic election machines in 2008. You will go down.
But the neoCons running for president will be taken care of.
Holt will be vetoed if it ever gets past the fillibuster unscathed.
Diebold is Libby and Libby is Diebold.
Remember the 11th commandment: thou shalt take care of Just Us.
It is government for the Deciders, of the Deciders, and by the Deciders.
Remember that those who count the votes are the Deciders … not those who cast the votes.
What do ya expect – they stole 2 presidential elections, enabled 9/11, exploited that event to destroy the constitution and enable their neocon agenda, and then started a war based on lies…
I could go on and on, but the real question is WHY DOES ANYONE THING THIS CRIMINAL CABAL WOULD ALLOW THE RULE OF LAW TO PREVAIL!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Watch out over there guys !!!!!
