Bush Scandal List?
does anyone know approx. how many scandals this administration has gone through and survived. It seems like one after another! From 2001-now what were all of them? I can remember some big ones:

WMDs
Abu Graib
Enron
13 Words
Valerie Plame
Abramoff
Wiretapping

I know i'm missing a bunch... anyone?

1. I'm not sure what you need, but
so far, they seem to have survived them all

Katrina Response, misappropriations
DeLay
Secret Prison Sites/foreign

So many lies, I can't remember them all, either

12. Potential Presidency Ending Scandals?
I'm more thinking of scandals with the potential to topple a less totalitarian administration. This administration has managed to maneuver every one of these virtually unscathed thanks to Rove & Co.

Ones that SHOULD have sealed his fate:

No WMDs
Abu Graib
Ken Lay
13 Words
Valerie Plame
Wiretapping
Katrina (would have sunk him IMO if it had happened BEFORE the 04 election)
Downing Street Memos
Secret Prisons ("Black Sites")

The fact that he has gotten away with all of those is proof that this country is fucked.
