First, apologies for taking an extra day away from the internets on Friday--I needed both the rest and the time for some pressing matters, although seeing (via Oyster) Greg's latest post reminds me that blogging itself is pretty small in the whole scheme of things.
Please send some kind thoughts/warm wishes/prayers-if-you-pray-or-mantras-if-you- don't Greg's way.
Back to small things, I was sent this VF article by a friend...between it, the latest headlines, other news items, posts from the big bloggers, etc., it's pretty evident that the denoument to this most pathetic of administrations will be a final attempt to save face...
It'll be interesting to see which faces DO get saved versus which get tossed over the side like Rummy's, and I sure as hell won't mind watching the various Humpty Dumpty's suffer their great falls...but, to be fair, this sort of exercise is just more Beltway-insider crap, and the "great falls" for every last one of those who don't make the grade will merely be of the Hollywood variety (even Scooter Libby can presumably count on a Club-Fed prison...and perhaps a preznital pardon in early 2009...to tangent even further, I wonder if yer national press corpse will display the equivalent indignation of 2001 and Marc Rich). But, in the end, they'll all get their book contracts, their lecture fees and/or some sort of soft landing when all's said and done.
Which is quite, um, "generous," when you consider how others--who AREN'T responsible for getting us where we are today--fared under this administration
