Isn't it a great time to be a Jackass-hater?

As David Gergen put it today on CNN, the "wheels have come off" the Bush administration! I'm practically giddy.

Karl Rove and Scooter Libby are in bad trouble, and better yet, seem to be turning on each other with the respect to their possible criminal involvement in the Valerie Plame affair. Or at least Rove may be turning on Libby, possibly claiming that he learned Plame's identity from Libby's account of a conversation with journalist. One or both could be indicted by the end of the month.

And the GOP infighting doesn't end there. Nobody likes Jackass' weird choice of the unqualified Harriet Miers for the Supreme Court, but the right-wing likes her least of all. But information has recently come to light that she supported anti-abortion laws while running for office in Texas, so the left-wing doesn't like her either. In fairness, she does have supporters. Just not among the left, the right, or people who care about her qualifications. It's hard to see how Jackass could have screwed the selection any worse. My theory is that, since Rove is busy being indicted, they're actually letting Bush run the country.

The FEMA/Katrine brouhaha is blowing up again, with FEMA's guy in New Orleans saying he sent messages to Michael Brown in Washington saying people were dying, and got no response. He described a senior FEMA staff completely out of touch with reality.

Today Tom DeLay was booked and his mugshot spread all over TV and the Internet. And of course the war is still going on and going badly, gas is still nearly $3 a gallon, and inflation looks like it's ticking upwards. Jackass' second-term domestic agenda is deader than disco.

Bush's approval rating is at a dismal 39%, which actually looks good compared to the GOP congress' 29%.

Finally, US News is reporting rumors from government officials that Cheney himself may resign in the Plame affair, and that Jackass would appoint Condoleeza Rice to replace him.
