Rest in GOPeace....

So Christie Todd Whitman is out at the E.P.A. huh?
Well it's a miracle she lasted as long as she did.
Now she joins the tattered ranks of promising republican pols who were worked to death and then run off the Arbusto Family Plantation.
Yup...birdbrained Christie could've been Vice President of the U.S.A. at one point, but like a host of other main chance GOP politicos she hooked up wit the Bush juggernaut thinking she could negotiate from a position of strength.
On paper this strategy looks good...She was a successful northeast Republican Governor from a state the party needed...telegenic accomplished blah blah blah.
Alas with the Bush Family NOBODY is ever considered an equal, it's either indentured servitude or exile to the Phantom Zone.
In Whitman's case, she had the bad fortune to get the E.P.A. portfolio. This is an agency that is guaranteed to be held in contempt by the regime based on their cartoonish middle school notions of governance.
She bore up under 18 months of humiliation until her credibility lay in ruins all over the district......there is nothing left to do but enter the fabled 12 step dignity recovery program and hope for the best.
It is an eclectic crew in there with giddy Paul O'Neill in the center seat...soon enough they'll be joined by Colin Powell and the wreckage of his presidential ambitions.
What a Bush Administration is always good for is the relentless destruction of GOP cadres and personalities with potential....GWB and his family's insane anti-governance sentiments extends even to members of their own party.
Either that or Bush is simply crude and selfless.
