Quote of the Week

More and more, the Bush Era is beginning to resemble the Harding Era, without the humanizing features of sex and liquor.
This is a quote from an extended comment by Ed Kilgore on Tom DeLay's recent indictment.

Here's my thought on the indictment: couldn't happen to a more deserving fellow. He was first in line to bring impeachment charges against President Clinton. With the Texas indictment, the chickens have come home to roost.

DeLay has skated ethical guidelines, and has tried to convince his fellow representatives to broaden those guidelines practically from the time he came to office.

If I were in a cheerier mood, I might be inclined to believe this is one more domino that will lead to the de facto end of the B*sh regime. One can pray that from this point forward his imperial handsomeness will be a toothless lame duck.

The only thing that might make that hope a reality is if the Satanic Majesty (KR) at his right hand is indicted in the Plame matter. Then perhaps we can breathe a collective sigh of relief.
