It's going to be interesting to see what other material creeps out over the next two years. If we get many more stories like "the FBI broke the law, and gee we're sorry", I'd say the republicans are toast :-) I like toast.

We're going to have lots of such stories; they are hardy perennials that bloom in abundance whenever Congress is run by a different party than the White House.

I wouldn't make assumptions about 2008, however. Remember how Clinton was declared "irrelevant" after he got whalloped in the 1994 midterms? Yet he won re-election handily in 1996.

People had taken a good look at Newt Gingrich's Republican congress, and decided they wanted divided government. Same thing could happen to this Democratic congress, all posturing with non-binding resolutions and pandering to the left-wing Cindy Sheehan activists.
