I can hear Tammy Wynette wailing in the background...

"Our little Leader is five years old..."

The President and the Speaker have stopped communicating with each other. They have officially divorced. Irreconciliable Differences.

For the last six months, we have seen little more than a kabuki dance anyway. There was little reason to continue the facade.

Oh, but if only the President was as crazy as the Speaker's "mistress", Miss T. Partee. But, he is not.

So, what happens now? If this were a championship fight, this would be the 15th and last round. There will be punches and counterpunches. There will be offers and counter offers.

They will sign a decree and go their separate ways, their relationship ruined for the future. Their trust totally empty.

But they must first divide the assets...
