Nice peroration from Josh Marshall:

Now [Tenet]'s the fall-guy for it all, in all likelihood made to take the fall by the true bad-actors.

Having said all that, beside the possibility that the White House's favored Iraqi exile was an Iranian agent, that the spy chief just got canned, that the OSD is wired to polygraphs, and that the president has had to retain outside counsel in the investigation into which members of his staff burned one of the country's own spies, I'd say the place is being run like a pretty well-oiled machine.

Oiled with what, though, we ask?

UPDATE Alert reader Marley answers:

White House Lubricating Cream
secret ingredients: feces, formaldehyde, tocopherols, partially hydrogenated vegetable shortening, enriched with vitamins W, M and D

(That would be well-preserved shit with good spreadability and texture. Nutritious, too.)
