Knowing When To Leave

Gonzalez, I can understand... he is not a great thinker, ideologue or even a true movement conservative, he is merely a pet reptile, happy to feel the warm hand of White House approval upon his scaley, slick skin. He is not personally responsible for the criminal politization and erosion of credibility at the DoJ, afterall he was only following orders, something he is exquisitely adept at and notoriously well suited for. So, to face the slings and arrows in a vain attempt at protecting his masters and have his name (It was never good) dragged into disrepute means nothing to him. Either he is not smart enough to realize that he is being played or his loyalty to our pot plant president is suppressing his self-preservation gene, neither scenario is very comforting to a public awakening to the irresponsibility, recklessness and incompetence inherent within this administration. That this little, sanctimonious bullshit artist rose so high within the WH cabal leads to a greater understanding of the rest of them and as this WH dissembles and the cracks become chasms, I ask, who's next to be thrust into the arena to be humiliated, ridiculed and ultimately disposed of in the name of protecting the inner circle?

As for Wolfowitz, this is a man supposedly well thought of in neocon intellectual (diminishing) circles. A man who's fingerprints are all over this administrations foreign policy debacles and therefore one who is held in high esteem by wingnut glitterati intent on a position of aggressive denial and intolerance for reality. To have their boy consumed in such a grubby, self-serving - soon to be a movie - pond scum scandal, one would imagine, would be sufficient impetus for the inner circle to take the moral highground and scuttle the good ship Wolfie, if for no other reason than to save one of their own from utter humiliation, not so, Wolfie has their full, if somewhat vascillating and always career threatening support.

Now, who in their right mind would want to join this leaking tub of ineptitude just as the raging sea crests the gunnells? Must be a real bright spark, a man capable of turning this situation around, a man of great fortitude, foresight and imagination... no just another General with a dubious grasp on reality. What? You think the 'commander guy' is actually capable of adapting to the real world? Perish that thought immediately!
