Sweet Retribution (A Week That Made History)

Rosa Parks- The Civil Rights activist dies at 92 years old. She outlived many of the other major players identified with the civil rights movement (even though she was already 42 when she made her mark by refusing to give up her seat to a white man). The woman who fought to end racial segregation . . . who 50 years ago was considered a second class citizen, is now the first woman who's body will lie in state at the Capitol Rotunda. A half a century after she had to drink from a seperate water fountain, she is honored in a way usually reserved for presidents and war heroes.

Scooter Libby- The administration known for its lack of accountability is finally forced to hold itself accountable. Now I feel like a little kid screaming "I want, I want, I want" . . . but I want Karl Rove's head handed over on a stick and paraded through the streets of New York. Libby being indicted is not enough. I just have to believe that every once in a while people truly get what they deserve. And I just think that Rove being the downfall of the president that he created would be such sweet irony. That being said Libby is the first high ranking White House official to be criminally charged in decades.

Miers Withdrawal- The conservatives revolt against their chosen one. When democrats have a problem with a Bush nominee it's not really an issue (hell, what can they really do about it?). When Bush's base comes out against something, that's when shit gets done. Bush nominates an unqualified crony . . . the real problem? She used to be a democrat and despite being promised by Rove that she will vote to overturn Roe v Wade, the god squad is not convinced that the 60 year old swinging single won't pull another 180.
