shit--it's what the BRITS do when they want to unload their PM. Over there, it has meaning. Over here, it's just a wheel spinning exercise that substitutes for actual action in the minds of those who don't pay close attention. Amd the fucking Senate KNOWS this--they don't wanna hose up their summer vacation plans, after all.

What's going to stop BushCo in their tracks is repeated, intense, unrelenting and brutal investigations that peel the layers of fetid bullshit away so we can see the rotted core of this dreadful enterprise. Drag these bastards to the witness chair, strap 'em in, and grill 'em.

Anything other than that is just hot air.
