you know, the wolfowitz scandal is just a sordid little tale of personal corruption of the sort you find anywhere there's money, power, and sex. you could strain to connect it to neo-conservatism via "arrogance" or something i guess, but c'mon. but i'd be lying if i said i didn't gloat watching him go down, with gonzales and, what the hell, rove, whose email accident is just so beautifully nixonian. i'd like to see each of the architects of this disastrous and profoundly evil administration publicly humiliated, one by one, on whatever grounds are available. i'm gonna enjoy this, all the way through.  i once again saw a "freedom isn't free" american flag sticker as i drove home from work today and i was thinking: yeah you can't kidnap people and stick them in black site torture facilities without coercive taxation.
