Indignation in short supply

The one question that keeps going through my mind is "Where is the outrage?" Nixon was forced out of office for covering up a dirty trick; Clinton was dragged into an impeachment for lying about sex, which by the way didn't kill anyone; and yet there seems to be little outrage about what is happening in this administration.

Valerie Plame was outed as an act of retribution against her husband who dared to speak out against the propaganda build up for going to war, a war that has killed so many and left so many maimed. When President Bush said, "You are with us or you are against us," he apparently meant anyone who dared use facts instead of accepting the party line.

Karl Rove is the go-to guy for keeping the dissenters in line, and he sure did teach Joe Wilson that opposition will not be tolerated. Where is the outrage?
