DPW Scandal Hurts Bush -- That Figures

It could be that Bush is finally getting nailed (polls here), but of course its over the Dubai Ports World deal (more here), recognized by almost everyone who knows anything about the details of ports operations to be innocuous. How beautifully American this is, that after everything this man has done to hurt our country, this of all things might finally finish him. The straw that breaks the camel's back? Possibly. The irony, however, is somewhat delicious -- Bush has spent his entire time in office since 9/11 fearmongering, hyping terrorist threats, and making Americans deathly afraid to go outside, and finally the fear he has created might turn against him as Americans imagine a phantom threat from the harmless DPW. Although I think the entire thing is quite ridiculous, I might very well be wrong, and either way if this is what finally does the trick, I'll take it.
