Every time someone has to take a dive for Son of a Bush.....

....I kind of feel almost a little sorry for him/her. I almost have to wonder if Condi Rice has some sort of contract requiring her to sacrifice her career if necessary to save her boss.
Anyway, it's all very undignified. It's one of the sad things about the modern world that you just can't go down in flames, but offered to the wolves. If we were more like ancient Rome, Rice could at least yell, "I regret that I have but one life to give for the Republican Party!" and fall on her sword.
