I am not a blogger who has been giddy with blue-state schadenfreude as the presidency of George Walker Bush has begun to come apart.
For one thing, the Democrats are perfectly capable of screwing things up even worse. For another, the White House’s serial missteps of the past six years leave Americans vulnerable in ways that are not readily obvious but are pretty freaking diabolical, and I would much rather have the Bush legacy be mediocrity and not disaster.
No matter. We now have the specter (no, not you, Arlen) of Engineer George’s Mission Accomplished Express chuff chuffing ever faster down the track toward a crack up with an oncoming train, the Sh*t Happens Express. (More about that in a bit.)
Given this scenario, it is interesting in a voyeuristic sort of way to identify the Republicans who:
* Have jumped off the Mission Accomplished Express.
* Are undecided about whether to stay aboard.
* Are puffing on the last of their Jack Abramoff autographed stogies in the club car and show no intention of jumping.
