Dubya and that W word

While we wait for breaking news from Washington on Wednesday about the investigation of who said what, to whom and when. We offer up this little refresher course courtesy of Arrianna Huffington's website.

Huffington, after totaling up the misdeeds, suggests that the current mess at 1600 Pennsylvania is worse than the days of Watergate (and we all remember how that ended now don't we!).

Meanwhile, as the Republicans read their tea leaves there are some interesting suggestions coming out as a replacement for VP, Dick Cheney, who if following the script of some theories, could come down with some serious health concerns shortly. Original rumors that Condoleeza Rice would move into the VP's office were quickly dashed by Condi herself, who said she was quite happy where she was (we assume she was not in Ottawa at the time, though the PR burst for the capital would be nice).

So, apparently if Washington rumors are to be believed, warming up in the bull pen is Senator John McCain. A man that some suggest would not only make a good VP, but could be the only hope the Republicans have of keeping the White House in two years.

Bringing McCain into the White House may help to restore a bit of faith for the American public, his past record and his continued efforts have him placed him very much on a high road, that in a town where most of the work seems to be taking place in the lower locales.
