摘要

You can tell that you're having a bad week in politics when your smartest move is to ask your own nominee to the Supreme Court to withdraw her name. You can tell that you're having a really bad week when the best news is that only one of your senior aides has been indicted. The week that ended on October 28th was the most miserable of George Bush's presidency. It not only saw the ignominious withdrawal of Harriet Miers's candidacy for the Supreme Court but also the indictment on five counts of perjury, making false statements and obstruction of justice of the vice-president's chief of staff, "Scooter" Libby, a man who exercised so much influence in the White House that he was known as "Dick Cheney's Dick Cheney". And those are only the self-inflicted wounds: add in the news of the 2,000th American death in Iraq, and you can see why the mood in the White House was a cocktail of depression and panic.
