As the Republican Party recovers from the Craig Scandal in which Idaho Senator Craig was forced to resign [secondary to a sex scandal in a Minneapolis Airport Water Closet for Men], a US Tabloid publishes more news which could damage Bush and the Republican Party even after Bush leaves office.
A US Tabloid called “Globe” published in its weekly tabloid news that First Lady Laura Bush is writing her divorce diaries about life in Washington. It has been reported that Laura Bush is unhappy with George Bush returning to drinking and the fact that he spends more time with Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice.
According to the Globe, Laura Bush did not even accompany her husband to the APEC Summit in Australia because of her marital discord with George Bush. George Bush who has a love of secrecy and has even asked members of his government not to write about their times in the Bush Administration.
It appears that Bush is afraid that his reputation would be further damaged if there are further revelations of what happened inside the White House. The Republican Party has indeed suffered heavily in their so called “Annus Horribilis” with Karl Rove imitating a rapper, Craig and his Water Closet, Giuliani dressed as a woman, and now the Bush Marital Crisis.
If the Democrats are laughing at the scandals of the Republicans, they are not safe since their party has been filled with them. The US Public in the long run has viewed this news with indifference and an increasing lack of confidence in the two traditional parties in America.
The Lack of Confidence in the Republicans and Democrats have corroded the monopoly of power of these parties and may prepare the country for a change.
