They are not going to get rid of any body. There is no heat on them really.

Look, they just published more photos of Abu Ghraib. And still nothing. The nation is run and controlled by fascist elements who are simply dealing with minor problems in the press from left over democratic minded columnists in papers that are already under the control of the governing forces.

In two weeks this will blow over, even if Whittington were to die.

Nothing came from Fitzgerald´s indictment of Libby and nothing will come from his indictment of Rove.

THis nation has passed a milestone and it is not coming back. The rest of the world is following it. It will take decades for this to change.

The Democratic party no longer exists. Certainly it is not an opposing force.

Look at all that has happened...all of it negative...and yet there is not even any consistent protest either in the streets, media of among democrats.

The United States is a developing fascist nation. It is a myth unto itself at this point.

We are a horror to the world and the world is following our example.

It sinks in and people fester.  there is a malaise out there.  Folks know something is terribly wrong, but in many case don't talk politics publicly.

I don't think you realize the impact that Abu Ghraib had on this country, and now though the photos will generate no outward comment there is a deep, deep dismay that shows itself as a sullenness.

the public knows it screwed up choosing Bush, suspects foul play in the elections, but will not vocalize it.

If I were a Republican, I'd try and party like it's 1999 too.  but, as anger rises, and the public gets callused by the mockery of this administration, there will come reprisal at the ballot box.

I think the Republicans are going down, and that the D's who have sat back and let Bush play the idiot will reap the benefits.
