A genuine political sea change?
  • I don't think so.

    The American people are *one* catastrophic terror event away from seeing just how thin this ostensible national awakening really is.

    Most of the spineless, obsequious toadies who passively and actively assisted the NeoCon Machine for the last six years still have their jobs. When they no longer do, *that* will be a genuine political sea change.

    Congressional Democrats failed the American people by refusing to do what was necessary to become an effective opposition party. They chose instead to sit around with their thumbs up their asses issuing meticulously crafted statements of "concern" while the Republic (not to mention Iraq) was looted and torched.

    In the vacant eyes the Democratic Establishment, none of George W. Bush's criminal acts are so great that they cannot resolved by immediately taking impeachment "off the table."

    What unites Democratic politicians today is the collective desire to win the presidency. Justice and accountability - like security and common sense - will just have to wait. Indefinitely. Just ask anyone who was around for Iran-Contra.
