Waiting for Fitzpatrick Day...

Well this convinced me that St. Patrick may still drive some snakes from their nest of corruption at 1600 Penn Ave. Not only is the White House resisting calls for a staff shakeup, Bush is refusing to condemn the criminal actions of his inner circle.

Bush ignored reporters' questions during an Oval Office meeting with Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi.

"We don't want to do anything from here that could prejudice the opportunity for there to be a fair and impartial trial," presidential spokesman Scott McClellan said.

Anything except loudly praising an indicted official for his "service to the country?" Like that's not prejudicial?
