Good question. Good f&*#ing question.

From the NY Times Op-Ed page Op-Ed Columnist: Where by Paul Krugman:
Still, the big story isn't about Mr. Bush; it's about what's happening to America. Other presidents would have liked to bully the C.I.A., stonewall investigations and give huge contracts to their friends without oversight. They knew, however, that they couldn't. What has gone wrong with our country that allows this president to get away with such things?

You see, Paul, the Republicans have finally captured all three branches (not to mention a growing share of the fourth estate). Now they'll likely do pretty much anything to retain power. Besides, only crimes against the party matter; let the hoi polloi fend for themselves.
