Due to some unfortunate timing, two of the best liberal pundits had to wait several days to have their say about Scooter Libby. Paul Krugman here. E.J. Dionne here. Not surprisingly they're both pissed. Somewhat surprisingly, E.J. advocates violent revolution:
We spent months talking about Clinton's pardon of the fugitive financier Marc Rich. This commutation is an even greater outrage because it involves the administration taking steps to slip accountability for its own actions. Are we just going to let this one go by?
Ok... maybe not violent. And maybe not revolution. Still, other than write well-composed op-eds and grouse about it, I'm not sure what else there is to do. In fact, it looks very much as if we are just going to let this one go by.
