Riding the Scooter

We'd love for there to be a prison bitch named "Scooter" being taken for a ride in the "pokey," but we know that's not going to happen. The indictment itself was a blow to the White House, but the only beating we're going to get now is Libby beating the rap, followed hard upon by the GOP beating the Dems (again) in the mid-terms. Because the Democrats are hopelessly lost.

If you can't reach across the aisle now, while the White House is weak, and get some moderate Republicans to join your cause (should probably come up with one of those first), then go ahead and write off 2006.
