Last throes for the Bush Admninistration? Consider this:
1) The President's approval rating is in the toilet, and spiraling ever downward.
2) Even Conservatives were apalled to learn the president had placed an unqualified lackey at the head of FEMA; and even Conservatives were horrified to discover that -4 years after 9/11 - FEMA lacks the ability to respond competantly not just to a disaster, but a disaster they knew about in advance.
3) The Republican leader of the House has been indicted.
4) The Republican leader of the Senate is under investigation
5) Karl Rove, the President's chief aid, is under investigation
6) Scooter Libby, the Vice President's chief aid, is under investigation.
7) 90 Senators, including 43 Republicans, delivered a stinging rebuke to the President by passing a resolution against torture
8) And now, Conservatives are outraged about the nomination of Harriet Miers, a longtime Bush crony, to the Supreme Court.
So how does the president respond? By going back to what he does best: Fear mongering
