Holiday Dinner a la Republican

It’s good to see that the Democrats have found their balls and have started to go after the Bush administration. Sen. Harry Reid’s calling for the closed session to get the ball rolling on Phase Two of the investigation of just where in the hell those pesky Weapons of Mass Destruction got to, is like yummy gravy on the heapin’ helpin’ of turkey and stuffing that is the indictment of Scooter Libby. Tom DeLay’s indictments on money laundering charges are like that delicious green bean casserole that your grandma brought every year, and the promise of indictments against Karl Rove are you mom’s mashed potatoes. The potatoes were lumpy (like Karl), but that’s okay because you love your mom and you kinda like the lumps.

The fact that the Dems are getting any play at all out of asking Bush to promise not to pardon Scooter is like the pumpkin pie and ice cream after the meal. But, to what should I compare the whiskey and cigar that really finishes it all off? Dick Cheney being “frog marched” out of the White House in handcuffs? Bush, himself, being compelled to give testimony?

It’s hard to say. I’ll let you fill in what you think would be the whiskey and cigar that tops off a holiday meal. I just know that all the sudden I’m hungry.
