I think this article by Washington Post reporter Dan Froomkin sums up a lot of the issues right now. You have Lewis "Scooter" Libby - Vice President Dick Cheney's ex-Chief of Staff testifying that he was told by his bosses that he could release information about Valerie Plame being a CIA agent.

It also touches upon the Hurricane Katrina scandal which former FEMA Director Mike Brown is testifying about in Congress today stating that both the Department of Homeland Security and the White House knew the night of the levee breaches and not the day after as they claimed. And the big one - the NSA's domestic wiretapping program which, according to reports, the White House has rebriefed the National Security subcommittee on with some alleged change in support.

I've also heard about Bush sneaking drilling in Alaska's ANWR into his new budget only a few days after stating about America's "addiction to oil" in his State of the Union.

Not a good week for the Bush Administration. I'm losing count on my fingers with all the scandals.
