THE HARDER THEY COME THE HARDER THEY FALL

It's coming hard and fast now:

^ Ken Mehlman to quit top RNC post

^ Bill Maher calls Mehlman gay, CNN censors

^ Lincoln Chafee may quit Republican Party.

^ Chafee to oppose Bolton nomination

^ Biden: Bolton nomination dead in the water

^ Vilsack running in '08

^ ... so does Biden

^ Rahm Emmanuel probably will be Democrat Caucus chair

^ Rumsfeld flips off Kansas State student

^ Dean: we won't impeach Bush

And my own question, that must be asked: why isn't Chuck Shumer the head of the Senate Democrats, rather than Reid?
