How Long...
...before even the hardest of hard-core Republicans admit that their party has been hijacked by crooks, morons and incompetents? I mean, seriously, what will it take? Say what you will about the Democrats, but they'd have called bullshit on their own party long ago if things went this wrong.
We could face a situation in which Rove and Libby both go down for conspiracy and DeLay and Frist are both convicted for their respective wrong-doings. What will the foaming-at-the-mouth 'wingers do then?
Answering this question is left as an exercise for the reader.
But I'm fairly sure I know the answer.
p.s. All my posts suck now, but I'm coming up for tenure, and my materials are due on Monday. If anybody out there has any good ideas, e-mail me and guest blog for a post or awhile.

oooh, you should have been blogging anonymously. Bloggers have had a very bad time with tenure lately.
Good luck.
I thought I WAS blogging anonymously...!
The cycle of modern politics. They're corrupt---we're not.
Half true, anyway.
"...but they'd have called bullshit on their own party long ago if things went this wrong."
When you painstakingly type out quotes from Louis Freeh's book (or even buy it) like Richard Clarke's, I'll buy that proposition.
Until then, I won't blame you for not doing so, WS, but let's see politics for what it is, tribalism. I'll plead guilty to it too, but keep in mind I'm pretty easy on Clinton. We all have our flaws.
Oh, and I accept your invitation to guest blog. My contributions always seem to attract a lot of attention.
