If Blair Falls can bush Stand

Bilmon doesn't think the US has the stuff anymore to take out a president:

Here in land of the fairly free and the not-so-brave, that wouldn't make much difference, I suppose, since we seem to have lost our taste for White House scandal -- not to White House accountability -- once Bill Clinton put his slick willy back in his pants. But the British appear to still take these things fairly seriously.
But if Blair really does fall can you imagine the new set of lies and misdirection we will be subject to as the Republican controlled House and Senate dodge their responsibility.

And then again, the bushies may have laid the groundwork for trying to pull their fat out of the fire:

Senior officials in the Bush administration believe Kay's weapons discoveries should have been revealed as they were made. However, a decision, approved by President Bush, was made to wait until more was discovered and then announce it -- probably in September.

See The Left Coaster for more details on Blair's travails.
