I don't think anyone could have predicted that . . .

Of course, once it's happened (or more accurately, once it has finally been reported to have happened), the Bush administration can't scramble away fast enough from the mess, pointing fingers in every other direction. This is what has become of our country under the Republicans, and what we can look forward to if we're stupid enough to install another Republican administration. And whoever succeeds Bush and his gang had damn well better be looking into their crimes, and prosecuting every last one of them. We failed to end the careers of the likes of Cheney, Rumsfeld, and Fred Thompson back in the 1970s, and we're paying for even bigger crimes today. I don't want to be opening the papers in 2033 to find Josh Bolten corrupting the United States again.
