Well, I do think that the sheer number of scandals is simply overwhelming. I mean, off the top of my head, you've got this massive, gigantic, titanic NSA scandal, which ties into Hayden at the NSA (who told Congress under oath that this kind of monitoring wasn't happening) going to the CIA, whose head recently resigned because he had so obliterated the agency by politicising it and purging a generation of top analysts and officers and also because he was in a turf war with the Director of National Intelligence and also because his hack top appointee liked the hookers, who were supplied by corrupt contracters who have already pleaded guilty to bribing Congressman Cunningham, whose corruption was so bad that just-leaked memos show the contractors telling Cunningham how to go about shaking down the Pentagon for cash, a scandal which now officially ties in to Rep. Lewis, chairman of the powerful House Appropriations Committee. Hell, yesterday it turns out that Bush's HUD Secretary denied a government contract because the companies owner didn't like Bush.

I mean, shit. Those are the revelations of the past WEEK, just the ones off the top of my head.

You want to talk no-bid contracts for pro-Bush companies in Iraq and New Orleans? Or the neverending revelations about faked, hyped, and distorted pre-war intelligence meant to get us into a war of choice? How about that FEMA, huh? The Dept. of Homeland Security isn't exactly doing so hot, either.

Of course the media can't keep up. There are so many scandals that my brain just froze trying to think of them all.
