In times of old, The Furies protected Mother Right. If a mother (or any woman) was harmed, The Furies swooped down and took their vengeance. They were one of the last vestiges of a world that existed before the patriarchy. When we feel righteous anger, it is The Furies who are calling out to us to make what is wrong right again.

Let the Frogmarch Begin 

OK. I know I said I was taking a few days off, but I had to write about this. KARL ROVE DID IT! They're trying to equivocate by saying he didn't actually say her name. (He said, "Joe Wilson's wife works undercover for the CIA.") Oh yeah, that's gonna fly. That's the argument of a four year old. I don't think Joe Wilson is a bigamist. If you mention his wife, everyone knows who that is. Did you listen/watch the news conference today with Scotty? This is the guy who said the White House had nothing to do with the leak and whoever leaked the name would be fired. He wouldn't repeat the "firing" word today. Joe Wilson said he wanted whoever leaked the info to be frogmarched out of the White House. I'm waiting. I called my parents. When my dad answered the phone, I said, "He did it."

"Yes, but they're saying he didn't actually say her name."

"That can't work, Dad. That's ridiculous. The American people aren't that stupid. Are they?"

"I think it'll work with half of them."

I groaned. "But even of those half who voted for him, there are some who were disgusted with what happened with the Schiavo case. Some of them can't fall for the argument that Rove didn't actually say her name."

"They elected this man twice. I've kind of lost my faith in the American people."

Say it ain't so! I don't care whether you're a Repulsican, Democrat, Greenie, etc. You don't assassinate political opponents, in any sense, and you certainly do not go after members of their family. And I don't care if what Robert Novak says is true or not (that Valerie Plame's undercover assignment was an open secret), you don't put undercover agents in jeopardy. That is just wrong. Come on.

I'm sure the Republicans are coming down with a case of "memory fog" and forgetting how they jumped all over Clinton's linguistic dancing regarding Lewinsky. When the Dems jump over Rove, it's purely "partisan politics."
