It’s his modus operandi.

Pelosi is Speaker of the one institution that can do Bush and Cheney a whole lot of harm simply be trying to investigate. So of course Rove is smearing Pelosi; it just means he’s scared.

Not that the Democrats need any help from the sidelines but they ought to give up on the torture issue. It isn’t working for them.

FWIW, I’ll say this much for Martha Stewart: she stepped up to the problem and rather than whine and drag things out, she went to jail/prison and she did her time. That amazed me, and I’ve respected her ever since for being such a public person who admitted a mistake and dealt with it. Count me a Martha fan, ’cause she showed guts and class.

The cracks are opening fast and I just don’t see how anyone is going to be able to close the lid on PapaDick’s personal Pandora’s Box.

I’m hoping there will be more emerging within the next week.

Yet more aspens, connected at the roots.
