Scandals: The one thing about the movie Lord of Wars I believe is accurate |

if that the big wigs committing massive crimes are so entangled that they will get away with anything.
If you look back at the Iran-Contra and all the heads that should have rolled (Oliver even got his own TV show) among so many examples, you might agree that they do get away with a lot. Some even get Nobel prizes...

That's what led us to today. The Iran-Contra criminals basically got off and paid no penalty for violating the law; so they were able to slither back into power on the back of the criminal cabal's idiot son.
So if we can't hold the accountable, the crimes get worse and more transparent. Until the American People wake up and unite and get rid of these thugs with real consequences for their actions, it will continue.
Count on the Dem nominee in 2008 facing Jeb Bush in the general election.
Get the picture?

Except he did serve some time. The fact that lunatics support his talk show is another thing altogether.

Good catch. Bushes don't go to jail. They are above the Constitution and the law, because the American public has allowed it. The media is compromised.
