So, indictments on Wednesday, eh?
No, this will not "bring down" the Cheney White House. That would take an aggressive and focused press. They still think of it as a great episode of reality TV.
But it does point out that monolithic power centers have points of weakness, that those points tend to be institutional and irreducible, and that concentrations of power have a tendency to come undone abruptly and violently when the keystone is removed.
Fitzpatrick will not remove the keystone. That's Cheney, the man who appointed himself Vice President. He will whack it out of alignment a good space. Then, power lies in the street for whomever is daring enough to pick it up.
The polls are dropping, the scandals are colliding, but there is yet no strong, coherent voice that offers a way out of the mess.
Calling the Democrats. Calling the free press. The moment to act is now.
