    @WylieD

    Have you completely missed the point? The utter failure of the Bush administration has left a HUGE mess that will take many more years to fix than it took to achieve-and the Bushites seems hell-bent on accomplishing as much destruction as possible before they leave office(repealing environmental protection, selling public land to mining interests, pardons for economic and Constitutional criminals, etc.,etc.). The only fixation many of us have is on accountability. We want to see prosecution of the the ones who brought this country to the brink of destruction-instead of retiring with huge pensions and other ill-gotten gains while the new Administration picks up the pieces-and the American people foot the bill.
