Contemptible arrogance
This, finally, is what continued Republican rule means: sneakily shutting down an independent office that keeps track of waste, fraud and abuse in Iraq. You really can't make this stuff up.

Howard Dean? Russ Feingold? Paul Krugman? Atrios?

How about Rod Dreher, contributor to The National Review.
