I am shocked - shocked, I say, at the allegations of cronyism, corruption and moral turpitude surrounding such prominent members of the Bush administration and its assorted associated agencies. Taking bribes from defence contractors? Government contracts being given to companies with dubious financial backgrounds? There's never been a hint that this stuff has been going on, has there?

It's not just that the Emperor has no clothes. It's just that he insists on walking around naked and thinks no one will notice.

Midterms in November, guys. Don't disappoint me.

Problem is, while Bush's approval ratings are down to 30% and there's general polling sentiment about voting for the Democrats in November, I'm not that sanguine about them winning back control of either House due to the general gerrymanding by both parties making House seats very hard to contest in general as well as the general feeling that the Dems just don't have a better plan than what failed them in 2004; i.e. running on "We're still not Bush! Really!" isn't a strong platform.
