Reply #34: Either that, or they know they stand to get an anthrax letter like Tom

Daschle and Patrick Leahy did. And the National Enquirer, too. Ever wonder why they never touch bush-anything, not even stories about Drunk and Disorderly (the twins)? One of those anthrax letters, way back when, was sent to the photographer who took one of the shameful photos of "spirited" young Jenna and Barbara falling down drunk in public at some rowdy club. He later died. Who wants to stick his or her neck out for that? If nothing else, it at least buys their silence.

But if bushie-boy is considered really damaged goods, and they risk more by standing by him than by divorcing themselves from him, they'll pull away. There is no real loyalty. It's "what have you done for me lately?" If they think he's gonna be poison, they'll avoid him like the dirty water in New Orleans.
