The Blame for Plame Falls Lamely On The Name

Only in America could you have a seemingly never-ending scandal that could shake the administration to the core with one of the key players sporting the nickname "Scooter." Seriously, how does someone with a moniker that you associate with the odd kid in third grade who liked to eat paste gain access to the halls of power anyway?

"Dick, I need a report on what our options are with North Korea. Can you have Scooter put something together for me? Oh, and tell him to stop leaving his skateboard in the Oval Office."

The other "only in America" aspect to the story is that the guy who probably did the most wrong in this little episode, the guy who was deceitful and lied in an attempt to influence public opinion about the administration's foreign policy, is not the one under investigation. In fact in many circles, Joe Wilson is being held up as a hero.

What a country.
