After the fan gets dirty...

I don't mean to make the Limb merely a signpost pointing the way to Oh!Pinion but I so enjoy S.W.'s use of the language and his insight, that I have to frequently holler, "Look at that!" Today he has an artfully worded warning for those who have hitched their wagons to the current denizen of the Executive Mansion:

...in particularly toxic Republican administrations, second- and third-tier White House staffers tend to get the worst of it after the fan gets dirty...

- S.W. Anderson

My response to what has come to light, so far, in the Bush/Libby scandal:

Isn't it interesting to see that during a time when you would have expected a statesman President and all his aides to be concentrated on pacifying Iraq, finding an outstanding and diverse Iraqi leadership group, making his adventure actually work to the national good, this President's team may have been preoccupied with squashing American dissent.

Kinda reminds me of an earlier presidency with a very filthy fan.
