Still waiting on that "restore"

Good afternoon to all,
hope your day is going well.

Well, here we are, 5 years into the Bush Presidency, and I'm still waiting on that "restoration of honor and dignity to our government" that was promised. Word around the various news agencies has it that indictments are possibly coming within days for several of our top government officials in the case where someone up there leaked the name of a covert operative to the press, the Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist is being investigated by the Securities and Exchange Commission for insider trading, and Tom Delay the Majority Leader from the House of Representatives has been indicted on Conspiracy and Money Laundering charges. Hmmm.... let me get this straight, restoring honor and dignity to the nations highest offices meant something when it came to President Clinton's extramarital activites, but has nothing to do with all of this other stuff? I think if the nation had a hypocrisy meter, it would register off the charts. At least Ol' Bill was.... and please pardon my language..... just accused of screwing an intern, but it seems the current bunch we have in there are screwing all of us..... YIKES! Which is worse?

Ok, with all wiseguy language and my trying to be clever comparisons aside, for that I apologize. The matter of the covert operative is very important, the leaking of her name jeopardized anyone she came into contact with during her travels abroad, and amounted to the closing of important lines of communication that could have proven useful for intelligence gathering. The other matters of insider trading, money laundering, and conspiracy are equally important and are matters of greed, or one side attempting to gain an unfair upper hand against those who oppose them, by skirting or disregarding the laws intended to maintain fairness within our system. It seems that honor and dignity are lacking in those cases as well, as anyone who would disregard the laws that serve as the checks and balances for fairness within our government, have no place for a job within that government, actions such as those suggest that they don't care about you, me, or the country as a whole.

In fairness, I must say that nothing has been proven, no convictions have been handed down as of yet, and investigations still take place even at this moment, so I will keep an open mind, though it sure doesn't look very good.
