EJ Dionne comments that Rove's demotion is merely a refocusing of his efforts. He is being asked to use his nefarious talents to insure that the GOP maintains control of congress thereby effectively blocking investigation into the Bush regime's criminal deceptions, cronyism and acting outside the dictates of the US constitution.
We can only hope that Fitzgerald's indictment will make Rove a short-timer in his new role before being frog-marched out of the White House.
How will a new Democratic congress set priorities? Will they be able to effectively reverse much of the damage and abusive legislation that Bush has foisted on us or will they focus and bog down investigating Bush's crimes? Will we win in 2006, and fail to deliver in time for the public to support the Dems in 2008? Is 2 years sufficient to regain the public's trust?
