Oy gevalt!
i've just finished my usual morning mosey through several newspapers and a half dozen or so blogs... i keep looking for something that'll give me a boost, something that says things are starting to turn in a more positive direction... no such luck...
i thought perhaps gonzales' amazingly inept and pathetic performance on thursday would stir some of the masses out of their somnolence, but, judging by the media and current blog postings, i'm seeing just more business as usual... george and gonzo (and don't forget wolfie) are going to sit tight and ride it out, their preferred modus operandi... i fully expect gonzo to still be attorney general a week from today and, quite likely, a month from today... if george dumps him, it will not be until he can make it look like HIS decision rather than as a response to the hearings and political pressure, the same way he disposed of rummy...
wolfowitz is following precisely the same course of action... the world bank board is hesitant to turn solidly against him because, after all, the u.s. president is where the world bank president nomination originates, and they're afraid of repercussions, just like our spineless congress... so, george continues to support wolfie just like he's supporting gonzo, and henry paulson, the treasury secretary and imf board member, is the only other administration official that could seriously threaten wolfie's tenure, and he's certainly not going to cross his boss...
meanwhile, dick cheney and karl rove, two of the darkest forces on the planet, go about fomenting their evil unchallenged...
this is not at all where i wanted our country to be in april 2007...
