"It's a Sort of Noah's Ark in Reverse..."

"with every animal leaving the ship."

Or so says the WaPo re: the cast of characters interviewed by Woodward. I'll forego the temptation to use a different analogy--you know--the one about rats deserting a sinking ship...

Later, the same piece unfairly refers to Team Bush as "the new Amtrak." Amtrak might run behind schedule, but it'll get you where you're going...eventually. And the seats are pretty comfortable, particularly compared to the sardine-in-a-can experience of modern airline travel.

Team Bush just takes you for a ride.
