Like we feared ...

Ain't shit gonna happen. Digby looks at the chances of anyone in the Bush administration being held accountable for the mess they made of this country:

...

As to the pardons, there is precedent for a president to pardon whole categories of people --- Carter did it for draft resisters and George Washington did it for those involved in the Whiskey Rebellion. The article discusses some moral distinctions, but it seems clear to me that Bush could do this and there would be nothing anyone could do about it.

...

A congressional commission would be great. But at the risk of sounding cynical, the odds of that happening are about as good as Sarah W. Palin becoming a Supreme Court justice. We're now heavily into let bayhgones be bayhgones mode and I'd be shocked if this congress would do it. (Besides, Joe Lieberman might hold his breath until he turns blue and they can't let that happen.)

...


The most I'm hoping for is a scale-back of the power of the Executive, what Bush and Cheney have usurped over the last 8 years. Even though the Dems have a majority now, their spinelessness still prevails.
