Sadly, I Don't Buy That the DeLayites and Bushies Will Go Down for This

I've read in a few other places a theory that the whole Schiavo mess will ultimately be the downfall for the DeLays and Bushies of the world. But - as much as I would like to see them finally go down and stay down - I don't begin to believe they will.

These are the same people who brought us the impeachment, the wildly religiously orgiastic furor over a 5-year-old boy who was finally rightly returned to his father (Elian Gonzalez), and some of the worst abuses of corporations over average Americans. They see no shame on using a woman with no cortex to tout their platform. And Americans, sadly, will not punish them because they're naturally far more worried about the whole mess over the American Idol miscast votes, the Jackson trial, Paris Hilton's latest sex video and the shocker of the week: Whitney Houston back in Rehab.
