...lame protestations of Democrats that its fiscal outlook is utterly sunny-they're simply not trusting of Republicans who seem too eager to overhaul a 70-year-old program that dispenses checks to a sixth of the population. If this were a Clinton proposal, he might have the Nixon-goes-to-China credentials to do it. But Bush offering to fix Social Security is more like McGovern-to-Havana...

Featured status goes to repentant Republicans: David Brock in ?The Hunting of the President,? former Rove campaign partner Joe Weaver in ?Bush?s Brain,? arms inspector Scott Ritter and Nixon counsel John Dean in ?Uncovered.? All but Weaver have chosen a very contemporary form of penance for their sins: they have written, and assiduously promoted, books on the venality of the current Republican-in-Chief...
