A lot of us apparently don't care if billions of our tax dollars just wound up in someone's pocket.
For what it's worth, I don't agree. I think a lot of us care very much about these and all the other misdeeds of the Bush administration; would like to see them investigated and dealt with.
It's just that we're so incredibly freaking overloaded right now. We need jobs. We need health insurance. We need the war to end.
The walls are closing in and most of us just want it to stop. We don't have the strength anymore to get to the people who set the wheels in motion. We did once. Then the '06 Congress did jack-shit, and wondered why their approval rating hovered around Bush's.
It's not that we don't care. It's that we've accepted the bitter, hard reality that nothing is going to be done. And most of us, I think, would rather concentrate on those few things in this life we think that we do have some power over.
Or maybe it's just me.
