What, Me Worry?

The New York Times points out this morning that the whole Rove affair has “some Republicans worried about the possible effects on Mr. Bush’s second-term agenda.”

That’s what it takes to get them worried? Not the President’s ham-handed attempt to reform social security, his reckless and unforgivable squandering of a budget surplus, the war he decided to wage without sufficient troop levels or a proper exit strategy, the horrible losses being suffered by courageous American soldiers or the thousands of innocent Iraqi citizens dying every day, a mass transit system that’s been left dangerously under-protected, the blind eye he's turned toward the issue of global warming, his indifference to furthering stem cell research and the great promise it holds for decreasing human suffering... but rather it’s the potential loss of the President’s longtime confidant and beloved Turdblossom that suddenly has Republicans nervous about the next three years?

I can deal with disagreeing with the Administration’s policies. That’s just the way it goes when the party you support doesn’t control any of the branches of government. It’s the pure bullshit they keep trying to ram down our throats that’s getting harder and harder to take.
