Go read Maureen Dowd today - She is ON!!

[crissy71]

Now Washington is consumed with the saga of how the glamorous C.I.A. officer and the dashing California surfer-turned-ambassador went from wedding cake to yellowcake.

At his wife's request, Mr. Wilson has toned down his call to see Mr. Rove "frog-marched out of the White House in handcuffs." But he still holds the man the president calls Boy Genius accountable.

2. Something I was thinking about yesterday.

Nearby was a photo of Mr. Wilson, acting ambassador in Baghdad during Desert Shield, with Saddam Hussein. And a framed letter praising his work for the country from the senior President Bush, strategically left facing out toward reporters who come to ask Mr. Wilson if Republicans have a point when they decry him as a politically motivated Democrat who has counseled John Kerry and contributed to his campaign. He and his wife also gave $1,000 each to the Bush-Cheney campaign "before South Carolina," he said, "which was a real rude awakening about the way Ralph Reed & Co. went after John McCain's wife and kid."


Yesterday morning on my drive to work I was thinking, are we seeing the end of the Bush political dynasty? How many GOP power brokers lost faith in Bush loyalty to the party when they treated McCain not like a rival within the party, but like a Democratic opponent instead. And now they have turned on Wilson, a Republican member of the diplomatic corps. I can see "P" seeking support for a presidential run twenty years from now only to be told, "no thank you; we've seen how your family treats fellow Republicans and want nothing more to do with you."
