Drip, drip drip. Cover-up. Drip, drip, drip. Cover-up. Drip, drip, drip
Same modus operandi for everything:
Iraq, DSM, Torture, Katrina, Plame, Wiretaps, Cheney - God knows what else. And they never, ever, learn

There IS scandal fatigue out there, but fatigue in the sense that you don't need to know one more thing about these guys except that they need to vacate the premises as soon as possible. If the Republicans wanted to save themselves, now would be the time for the smart ones to jump ship.

1. If the republicans were smart, they would never gotten on the ship
in the first place. But then how many intelligent congress critters are there anyway?

2. You know what it reminds me of
I always try to find a relevant example or word picture if I can when I explain something to people.

The things we have been inundated with by this piss face and the fact that it hasn't already reached the mutiny stage yet reminds me of a classic Candid Camera episode.

Do you remember when they put a 40 gallon gas tank in their Volkswagon? It should have took only about ten gallons.

The guys started filling it expecting it to slow down and stop any minute....it kept running, kept running, kept going. They were doing double take looks at the pump, banging the pump, pulling out the hose to see if gas was coming out, looking underneath the car, walking around the car to figure out how in the world could that much gas be going in that small car, scratching their heads, looking for gas on the ground. It just kept going in.

How damn on the money is an example like that now ?

4. What worries me about the slow drip:
If you put a frog in room temperature water and heat it slowly he will boil to death.

If you throw him in hot water, he'll jump out.

American voters are like frogs, and they haven't noticed the water heating up
