This is hot stuff inside the Beltway and frankly nobody inside it realizes that nobody outside it gives a rodent's rectum. The collective yawn with which the federal prosecutor "scandal" was met should have acted as a warning, but for the political class in lalaland it's the very stuff of life.

The real scandal that's building slowly is the Democrats' truly embarrassing behavior with respect to Iraq. Their left wing is demanding steps that will imperil their hearts' desire, the White House in '08, and the self-righteous posturing that is all they are offering for cover isn't going to span the gap. From the right they're getting the derision they richly deserve.

The only way out is a continuation of the endless series of accusation and mud-throwing that has filled the last six years, but that isn't good enough for a majority party. I'm hoping they don't find that out until it's too late.

They are only voting for “reform” because they think they are on their way to complete power and that as soon as they have it they will neuter any attempt to examine themselves and use it as a tool to prosecute and investigate their enemies.(That would be US for you folks in Rio Linda.)

With few people paying attention they can throw out lie after lie, inuendo after inuendo. The important thing to the Dems is for the voters to "think" there is corruption. That's all that matters.

Meanwhile, the feckless Republicans are all hiding in the tall grass afraid to come out. When the Republicans held the house and senate the Democrat leadership held a press conference every morning to get their message (propaganda) out on the news. I haven't seen one of those sessions being held by Republican leadership since they became the minority party in January. It's sickening to see how they shrink from a fight.
