Results of any investigation should not be an issue in upcoming elections
On NPR, I just heard a discussion of the proposed independent investigations of the U.S. intelligence failures, concerning the pre-war Iraq situation.
What I found perversely amusing, was a proposal from someone on the Republican side, that the findings of the independent investigation SHOULD NOT be released until after the upcoming presidential elections - That the finding should not be an issue in the election.
In other words, an investigation that might find that there was gross incompetence on the part of the current administration, should not be an issue in the presidential election.

I'm pretty sure the version I heard, wasn't from McCain. My impression was, that McCain was prominent in pushing for the investigation. Of course, that doesn't mean that the results could be held back.

Bring on the revolution?
The corruption of the Bush administration goes far beyond the personal morality failings of Bill Clinton. It goes far beyond the corruption that brought down Vice-president Agnew. It goes far beyond the stupidity of the Watergate scandal that rightfully brought down Nixon.
I would place it as being of the same magnitude as the situation that gave rise to the American Revolution against Great Britain.
Unfortunately, not much better can be said about the Congress.
