The Criminalization of Politics

One of the White House / Republican talking points about the impending (one hopes) indictments in the Valerie Plame leak investigation is the term "criminalization of politics." Crooks and Liars has a link to Bill Maher, who compiled some Fox footage of some, well, crooks and liars spouting the phrase. The idea is to get it out there to discredit the whole investigation.

Well, geez Louise, when you've got criminals playing politics, or politicians committing crimes, what do you expect?
