Just registering my general astonishment...

... over the latest news about the Bushies.

Frank Rich describes the sidebar to the above as "seriously creepy," and that's probably an understatement. It's much worse than Cheney skulking around in the bushes during one of Bush's inane exercises with the press.

For the life of me, I can't figure out why the Dems are so damned petrified at the thought of raising the ire of the "tough on national defense" GOP, when most of the news about those magnificent warriors shows them to be incompetent, dysfunctional, corrupt, inept and, not to forget, morally, legally, psychologically, mentally and emotionally unfit for governance.

Any competent, thorough and reasonably unbiased investigation into Bush's eight-year reign of error would produce a Great Flood of proof that the government in the hands of the modern GOP is analogous to making a present of gasoline and matches to a five-year-old obsessive-compulsive firebug....
