Watching the Play In Slow Motion
Waiting for the Special Prosecutor to release his report/indictments is a little like watching a play evolve on the field in slow motion. This week the media and blogosphere is fairly consumed with what is happening and going to happen around the Valarie Plame leak investigation. I have been reading and following along, and it is fun. Each move and rumor is dissected ad infinitum. Some on the right contend that lying is no big deal, which reminds me of Clinton. Some analysts project who is getting indicted or not. Others wonder what will happen after. And some think that Fitzgerald doesn't have enough evidence to indict anybody. Think of a quarterback taking the snap, starting to turn, moving one foot, then the other. In this case many of us have already determined how the rest of the play is going to finish, even before he has made the handoff or set up for the throw. Heck, it seems we aren't even keeping track of the receivers or the patterns they are running.
It is fun to engage in conjecture, but there is just so much that we don't know. In a situation like this I try to keep my mouth shut, or just say I don't know much of anything. I sure am having fun watching the game though.
