Now it's up to them. Can the adults in the GOP stage an intervention? In Congress, DeLay is maybe more of the problem than Bush, and I'm not optimistic that Republicans will do anything about him. On the foreign policy side, Powell and Rice have suggested that they're gone -- will Cheney allow their replacements to check him and Rumsfeld?

In a word, no and no. Bush believes he's divinely guided - do you think a man who couldn't admit making any mistakes in four years of leading the country is going to suddenly decide to listen to voices of reason? And Cheney ain't gonna take shit from either the SofS or NSA. Rumsfeld isn't listening to anyone from Bush on down. So, no way. The fiscal conservatives will find themselves outside rubbing shoulders with all the other non-True Believers.
