The Criminalization of Politics

Hello my fellow conservatives. Thanks for coming on such short notice.

As you aware, Patrick Fitzgerald's case is winding down and indictments are expected this week for key Bush administration officials regarding the leaking of an undercover CIA operative and the subsequent coverup. This case may also go up as high as Bush and Cheney themselves, so we have to be prepared. We need to have our talking points in order. Firstly, try to avoid the topic. If that fails, here is our talking point: This isn't a serious case... it's merely the criminalization of politics. Okay, great, everyone wrote that down? Bill? Sean? Rush? Ann? Fantastic.

Be prepared to push hard on this new talking point. Likely people will remind us that we are hypocrites, given the treatment that President Clinton received from both partisans and the media throughout his presidency (and the way in which we still scapegoat Mr. Clinton for everything from Osama to WMDs to Katrina). They will also remind us how overly aggressive Ken Starr came off, particularly compared to the dignified approach Fitzgerald has taken to the Plame investigation. Use the standard response to these fact-based assaults: Liberal media bias. Liberal elite. Just get the word "liberal" in there and you should be covered.

Remember: Criminalization of politics. Liberal media bias. You can see some great examples of how to spread this talking point from our patriotic friends here at the Fox network here:

Remember conservatives- A crime is only a crime when a Democrats does it.

Now go out there and make the Republican party, err your country, proud. Dismissed.
