I have little interest in posting much about the barrage of current political scandals.  There is already so much out there that there just does not seem much that I can add. It brings to mind this bit from Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle:

I must confess that the timing of these multiple episodes of political power taken to abusive lengths is interesting given that they are unfolding right after the speech by the Incredible Oz at the Ohio State graduation about how we should not listen to those paranoid voices who contend that the government is a threat to liberty.

It is also a little ironic that these stories break when the stock market keeps hitting new highs and there is real progress made in reducing the deficit.

I wonder if the defeat of the GOP at the last election has reduced the unifying effect of a threatening opposition, leaving the Democrats more prone to criticize their own; or if the administration just accumulated too many liabilities and moral compromises in pursuit of their grand agenda.
