What more is there to say? It is perfectly obvious what has happened. Bush/Cheney went to "war" under totally false pretenses, lied to Congress and the American People, are responsible for untold numbers of deaths that could easily have been avoided, have accomplished nothing other than enriching their corporate friends, and still have no idea what the hell they are doing in Iraq (except trying to build a number of permanent bases that will be under constant attack forever, or at least until they have to be dismantled and removed). All of this for the modest cost of 300 billion dollars (oh, I forgot, it was all going to pay for itself with Iraq oil - silly me). And even though their poll ratings are approaching negative numbers they just go on telling us that everything is going well, things in Afghanistan and Iraq are just peachy-keen, we're about to "win" in a situation in which it is perfectly obvious there is no way to win.
The Gannon/Guckert scandal has apparently been successfully neutralized. I guess there is no reason anyone would want to know why a known Homosexual Prostitute with no Press credentials or experience, was allowed to attend White House Press Conferences for over a year, and was also allowed into the White House over 30 times when no Press Conference was even scheduled. What is wrong with people who might want to know about that? Is there anyone out there who can honestly argue that had this happened during the Clinton Administration we would still be hearing about it 24/7? To hush this up so completely must have required clout at the very highest levels of government. Karl Rove anyone? Who arranged these passes for Gannon/Guckert? Where was he when he was in the White House? Who was he with? What was he doing? Why was he there at all? Who was paying him? What in the hell was this all about? I'm sorry to be so persistent, BUT I WANT TO KNOW!
Frist was apparently willing to give up on the Bolton nomination, having concluded that his negotiating with Democrats would go nowhere. But I guess after a meeting with benign old Uncle Dick the Slimy he changed his mind and now wants to try a vote once again. Maybe this is better than a recess appointment, maybe not. But if the Decmocrats stand pat they will win this one big time. "Right" (remember that concept) is clearly on their side. So unless some Democrats fold, Dick the Slimy will lose. So what is the White House sitting on that is so dangerous they dare not share it with the Senate? When will Dick the Slimy be forced to realize that all power, always, does not reside in the Executive Branch?
With all branches of government now firmly in the hands of Republicans, and with no existing honorable Republicans who will place country before party, the future does not look promising. But there may still be time. The citizenry has clearly turned against these Fascist, warmongering, war-profiteering, murderous, right-wing neocon, Corporate loving, phony Christian thugs, and perhaps once again the people will win out against this outrageous attempt to emasculate us.
