DESPERATE MEN AND WOMEN

That's how the hierarchy of the criminal Bush regime should be described. They have committed so many ethical and legal violations that they have to be VERY AFRAID of a Democratic President because he will open the door to investigations. The stakes for them are extremely high, higher than just being shut out of the wingnut gravy train. Some of them may go to jail!

MATTHEWS: Yeah…
