Adminstration in Last Throes, Save for a Few Dead-Enders

Rumsfeld's and Cheney's latest comments (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/08/29/AR2006082900585.html?referrer=email) reminded me that this administration is now in its "last throes," with only a few "dead-enders" still thrashing about and making these absurd arguments and shooting off whatever ammunition remains in the budget (literally and figuratively). Of course, the facetious analogy here does not bode well for Democrats in the Congressional elections.
