Josh Marshall has a way with words. Speaking here of the inability of BushCo to come to grips reality, he writes:

“You expect -- or perhaps better to say, you hope -- soon to see the sober, serious grown-up come along, put his hand on the guy's shoulder and say, "It's over" -- perhaps saying it a few more times, with arresting finality, until he understands.

Perhaps a better metaphor is a user at the ugly outset of his own intervention -- the increasingly desperate lies, the bargaining, the lickety-split oscillations between apologies, self-pity and impulsive anger.”

Are we watching the final collapse of the BushCo house of cards? I must admit it: I am relishing this. But at what price does this victory come?
