"In 5 weeks there may be no bush White House left. THAT is what we must concentrate on now."
So what does THAT tell you? They were trying to use the Rove issue to push impeachment proceedings, maybe? They definitely got Bushwhacked this time. (I wouldn't doubt it if Rove even played a part...going in as a 'sacrificial lamb' of sorts...but I am only able to say that in hindsight myself.)
Clearly their heads are spinning tonight. They don't know how to get out of the Rovian Maze in which they now find themselves. Should they vote yea or nay on Roberts? Shall they try to rekindle the embers of the Plame naming game flame? How can they even get back on track when they've been broadsided by the Bush-Rove Express?
LOL!!!
Nice choice of wording -your phraseology elicited the desired response on this side of the monitor...
