Billmon: Bullies

One thing I learned long ago is that the authentic bully unerringly choosest the weakest, most submissive person in the group to pick on (which is, of course, the exact opposite of the behavior found in sane pack animals, like dogs.) It's also fairly well known that bullies tend to be incredible crybabies whenever the tables are turned and they find themselves brought to account for their actions.

And so it was absolutely no surprise to see this story on CNN:

The investigation has taken a toll on White House aides, many of whom now fear that the special counsel, Patrick Fitzgerald, is intent on issuing indictments . . . "Fitzgerald's office, although very professional, has been very aggressive in pursuing people," the adviser said. "These guys are bullies, and they threaten you."

Can I hear a chorus of: "Awwwwww, pooooor babies"?
