There are no brief outfits in this drama, and only the briefest appearances by the principals, who must realize from election results that half the country would be happy never to see them again. Bush, criticized for playing host to photo ops with a ghost Cabinet resurrected from Dad's White House, retreated last week to his ranch to nurse a boil, surely a biblical reminder that we'll all need...
