The straw that breaks the camels back

[randr]

A metaphor that refers to the insignificance of the final event that brings a great beast to its knees.
Harriet Mier is that straw. Bush is the beast.
The accumulated evidence of lies, crimes, and plain old stupidity has become too much for this beast to bear. His fans and apologists can no longer deny what many of us have been pointing our collective fingers at from day one.
The man is not qualified to govern.
Unfortunately Ms. Mier will receive the scorn that Bush deserves and will in all likelihood become but a footnote in the fall of this empire.
I was truly shocked to hear Ann C say she was more concerned about Miers under qualifications than the charge of cronyism. A few of her friends are connecting the dots and the picture of presidential incompetence is emerging.
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
Humpty Dumpty had a GREAT fall
All the kings horses and
All the kings men
Could not put poor Humpty together again!
Sit back and enjoy the popcorn!

1. The Congress and MSM have largely ignored the reasons for pointed fingers

from day-one, so each has been an enabling complicitor.

2. You'd like to think so, wouldn't you?

But I will take some of that popcorn. Hold the salt.

3. My sense tells me that the words of some of the fundies

will be all too hard to take back. We are going to witness the results of a break in a dam long in the making. The resulting flood will be of bibilical proportions--me thinks.
Butter with that popcorn?

4. There's been a lot of last straws. Abu Ghraib. Katrina. No WMD.

Perhaps if Rove has to be removed because of indictment or conviction that might finally be it, since he's one of the one's actually running this Mafia.

5. Don't count on that

Will Rove be any less connected to the GOP and the talking head base control mechanism? Can't he set the plan in motion from an office at the GOP headquarters just as easily? Would we be any better off if they put a puppet in Roves chair, and Rove controlled him via telephone every day?

Limbaugh doesn't work at the White House, nor does Hannity, yet they carry the water daily. Faux News has a reporter at the White House, but the broadcast from New York for the most part, how do they get instructions? Pony Express?
