Like Lemmings Going Off A Cliff

Harold Meyerson had a perceptive op-ed in yesterday’s Washington Post about how the Bush administration still hasn’t gotten the memo about last fall’s election results. The two big scandals currently sucking all the air out of Washington–the U.S. attorney purge and the GSA “team building exercise”–both developed well after the election. Republicans in Congress seem entirely incapable of dragging the president and his inner circle into the living room for an intervention. They realize that Bush is no longer their messiah, but hero worship is a difficult habit to break.

By the way, you really should watch the testimony of GSA chief Lurita Doan. The poor woman appears to have some sort of affliction that has seriously compromised her memory.
