If there is any question that the Bush Administration is a lame duck, this report on Sen. Gordon Smith (R-OR) should add to the case that even Republican senators are willing to tell truths that Compound W still isn't getting.

Check out THESE strong words:

* "That is absurd. It may even be criminal. I cannot support that anymore."
* "...I do believe [Bush] is guilty of believing bad intelligence and giving us the same."

Be careful if you're standing near the exit, you may get trampled.
