1. As Gore Vidal says
Edited on Sun Oct-23-05 10:08 PM by zidzi
"here delay gone tomorrow".

": We now see that House majority leader Tom DeLay has been indicted. The Senate majority leader, Bill Frist, is under investigation by the SEC. We've seen the debacle around Michael "Brownie" Brown and FEMA. Is this Administration finally collapsing under its own weight?

A: "Under its own lack of weight" , I think, is the phrase you are searching for.

Q: Sort of the unbearable lightness?

A: Yes, the unbearable lightness. Or here DeLay--gone tomorrow. Yes, I do believe it is breaking up. And the indictment of DeLay would not have happened had there not been two hurricanes, which dramatized to everybody in the United States that we don't have a government. And to the extent we do have one it is not only corrupt but a menace to other countries, to our liberties, to our Bill of Rights."
