What do I really need to say?

• Tom Delay indicted by Texas grand jury; steps down as House majority leader per rules previously abolished but reinstated to avoid backlash from voters (i.e., not because majority leaders with indictments against them are of questionable morality)
• Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist being investigated by the SEC for possible insider trading; claims the order was made to avoid conflicts on votes related to health care issues; never bothered to dump the stock earlier; in fact, according to Think Progress he promised to recuse himself from such votes and conveniently chose this time to sell the stock completely
• Infighting over how much to spend and how to pay for hurricane relief
• Bush poll numbers at a record low
• Most Americans think the Iraq war wasn’t worth it

It’s not always easy having near-unchecked power.
