With Democrats finally packing some power, I wonder if the Bushies can feel the tighting of the net closing in around them.  For this administration, the time of easy sleaze would seem to be rapidly ending.  Future sleaze will have to be far less brazen I think.  The investigation into the firings of the federal prosecutors is heating up, Gonzales looks to be on his last legs, and now Rove is once again catching flack.  From a Guardian Unlimited article:

...In the latest twist to a high-voltage confrontation between congressional Democrats and the White House, the administration yesterday admitted that missing emails sent on Republican Party accounts may include some connected to the firings.

Democrats have accused Karl Rove, a top adviser to the president George Bush, and other senior aides of using the email accounts maintained by the Republican national committee to circumvent government disclosure requirements.

Following a meeting between Republican party lawyers and congressional investigators, Henry Waxman, a fierce Democratic critic of the White House, said he learned that Mr Rove might have deliberately deleted them himself - an accusation rejected by Republican party officials.

Mr Rove and 21 other White House officials maintained separate email accounts for government business and work on political campaigns. Democrats suspect they used these political accounts for official work to avoid leaving a paper trail...

Boy, all this scrutiny must be incredibly unpleasant to the administration.

Good.
