We can joke about it--might as well--but we also need to ask ourselves what this means to our country if it is true. I mean, HO-LEE SHEEIT!!! The consequences are mostly unpredictable but they are far-reaching. Quite frankly, it will almost certainly destroy this administration. Lying to get us into a quagmire of a war, getting tens of thousands killed, spying on fellow Americans, abducting people and sending them to secret prisons, openly defending the use of torture--demanding it even, holding people in a Cuban prison for years without a trial until some commit suicide, widening the deficit, jacking up the price of oil, allowing billions of dollars to be stolen by unscrupulous contractors, not only taking $100,000 from a man he claims he doesn't know and then brazenly keeping $96,000 of it when every member of Congress who took money gave it all back or donated it, in none of this is enough to outrage the American people, an affair between Jorge and Condi will certainly do it.

Part of me delights in this story and therefore finds it too good to be true. But another part of me is scared of the implications if this story is true which leads me to believe it could well be true. Someone else said it, Bush's level of reason is at a level where you simply cannot discount it. I didn't believe it about Clinton and Lewinsky at first either. But there IS that troubling "my husband" remark. That's certainly smoke. And where there's smoke...
