Maybe I'm still naive.... I'm not yet cynical enough to believe the Governor planned it all to make Bush look bad or even to see him impeached.... I do believe Blanco was on a petty power trip of thinking she had to do everything her way, and her pitiful 'Rat ego helped her to blunder all over the place not deciding much of anything. I think it was more ego, inflexibility, panic and incompetence by the Governor than any conspiracy, but I'm certainly willing to be proved wrong! :^)
If Paul Begala, James Carville, and/or Howard Dean were pulling strings behind the scenes, they should be taken out and strung up like Mussolini...... btw, Carville IS the "ragin' Cajun" isn't he?? He probably has a pretty tight line to the Governor unless for any reason they don't get along.... you'd think Carville would take a strong interest in the politics of his home state....
