The Departures of Democrats Favorite Targets

Let's take a look at the Democratic White House Personnel Hit List:

Scooter Libby--Resigned, Convicted
Karl Rove--Resigned
Alberto Gonzalez--Resigned
Dick Cheney--Still Going

White House and Bush Administration departures continued yesterday as Attorney General Gonzalez resigned. Gonzalez is just the latest in a long line of resignations from the White House--some of which were expected and others not so much.

But here is a dilemma for the Democrats--with all of their favorite punching bags leaving office--who are they going to have to kick around? President Bush has taken their abuse for six plus year and shows no sign of being beaten down? Vice President Cheney will stick around if only to make Demorcrats' lives miserable by his mere presence in the White House. In there efforts to embarass the Bush Administration, the Democratic hounding of senior Administration officials will actually work against Democrats.

If you want to tell a story of greed, corruption, bad faith and bad politics, you have to be able to point to someone immediately as a "villian" and the Demcorats can't. Not a good campaign strategy.
