How Much for a Blow Job?
By Larry Johnson on October 1, 2007 at 8:30 PM in Current Affairs

The apologists for treason–you know, the guys and gals who excused the behavior of Scooter Libby in helping expose the identity of CIA officer, Valerie Plame Wilson–need wonder no longer about the true economic cost of the investigation. It turns out it is cheaper to commit treason than to get a blow job in the Oval Office. By a factor of almost 20.

Patrick Fitzgerald investigation total expenses thru 31 March 2007 $2,396,283.00 .

31 March 2004 Audit $26,592.00

30 September 2004 Audit $584,899.00

31 March 2005 Audit $112,550.00

30 September 2005 Audit $178,077.00

31 March 2006 Audit $385,771.00

30 September 2006 Audit $337,556.00

31 March 2007 Audit $770,838.00


Kenneth Starr investigation total expenses: Through September 2001: $59,463,703.00

Ken Starr Expenses

Oh, and did I forget to mention that Scooter was convicted of perjury and obstructing justice while Ken Starr failed to get a conviction of anyone of note. And what about the effect of the underlying crime? Well, Scooter’s activities helped destroy an intelligence network during a time of war. Bill Clinton’s activities put a strain on his marriage but did not inflict physical harm on a soul.

1. I am still sick that Scooter Libby's sentence has been commuted. It is a travest of justice!

2. Please, Don't Confuse The Critters With Facts!

6. And why the inequities?
Because of the corporatemediawhores who framed every damn thing.

When are we going to the source and cut off the head?

7. Unbelievable. They spent more money to buy a perjury trap, than they
did to uncover treason.

That will be the story of the last fifteen years.
