I think we have to be satisfied (and I am) that instead of seeing a giant arrow of blame pointed at those we'd maybe like to see it pointed to.....we should, IMO, try to consider the residual effect.

IOW, after the 1.2 day buzz from this is gone and we're back to the glorifying the standard emptyheaded American Idol mentality level of things....what will be the "sound bite", the no-more-than-eight-word description that remains from this miniseries?

To me, and I'll admit I'm not very good at predicting the future, there is going to remain the very stark contrast between an administration of buck passers, equivocators, and ass-kissers and an admin of doers. Who aren't afraid of mussing some greseball's hair. And I think we have to be happy about that. Not grudgingly happy, but happy. That works. "Buck passers vs. doers." On a sound bite level, that bloody well works.
