Rats and the sinking ship

One down. Tom DeLay has finally realized he can no longer disguise the fact that he's a world-class scumbag and has decided not to run for re-election this fall.

In Florida, it still hasn't occurred to Katherine Harris what a loathsome piece of excrement she is, but the departure of much of her campaign staff may be a sizeable clue.

Bush may still be in firing mode. Mouthpiece-in-chief Scott McClellan and Treasury Eliminator John "Deficits are Good" Snow are apparently on their way out.

None of this probably changes a thing. Republicans will always vote for a racist, warmongering bully as long as they pretend to be religious and promise to take away civil rights from non-whites. But at least it is entertaining.
