Teflon?

This administration has gotten away with more terrible acts than any administration in my lifetime (I suspect, perhaps, in the history of the United States). For the last two days, this president was allowed to say, again and again, "Because of us, the torture rooms are closes. Because of us, the rape rooms are closed."

Again and again before, I've thought, no way, he won't get away with this. He always does, however.

This time, perhaps - just perhaps - he'll hand us a high head (probably one not planning to return next term, like Rumsfeld). But it won't be his head. And I'm sure - damn it - that Bush himself will walk away untouched.
