'Imperfect Storm' For Bush?

(CBS) Many observers in Washington say indictments of administration officials in the leak of the name of a former CIA operative would be the final component of an "imperfect storm" for President Bush, according to former presidential adviser David Gergen.

Gergen, who advised four presidents and is now editor-at-large of U.S. News and World Report, tells The Early Show co-anchor Harry Smith, "If indictments are handed down, it's going to be a real blow to the administration, and it comes at a terrible time.

"We've got this confluence now, people are calling it 'the imperfect storm.'

"You've got potential indictments this week. You've got pressure building up among conservatives for Harriet Miers to withdraw (as a nominee for the Supreme Court), and you've got the death toll in Iraq, sadly, ready to go over the 2,000 mark.

"Those coming together, I think, put the White House in the darkest place it's been since this president took office and to me, it's going to be a long climb out of the hole. If he were to lose (top political strategist) Karl Rove, he'll lose his right arm, and it's really hard to climb out of a hole without your right arm."
