Conyers: Bad News Snowballs for GOP

[cal04]

A lot happening today. Where to start. Well, I suppose this is hardly news, but President Bush is now down to another all time low, 31%. Another resignation at CIA cannot be good, along with related stories of investigations. At the same time, the world brace's for the next shoe to drop in the ongoing Karl Rove saga, with new disclosures that he was very much focused on dealing with the fallout from Joe Wilson's NYT op-ed. My friends at Homeland Security Committee are also hot on the trail of the Shirlington Limousine controversy.

While I am at it, let me thank all of you who provided comments -- here, at HuffingtonPost and Kos --and support after the incidents on Meet the Press and This Week shows. The fact that the other side is grasping at such straws, is proof positive of the very dire political straits they find themselves in today.

2. One line says it all:

The fact that the other side is grasping at such straws, is proof positive of the very dire political straits they find themselves in today.

That is a very powerful statement. And the other side has no one to blame but themselves for the mess they're in. They can't blame Clinton. They are in control, it is their doing, it is their mess.

And the fallout couldn't happen to more deserving people.
