While you wait

Every night there's speculation that the indictments might come very soon. Then another day passes without them. As the suspense was getting to me enough that I'd started to pretend Zen-like detachment about it all by way of self-hypnotically imposed calm, I wondered what it must be like inside the White House workplace. Of course, none of the sycophants who currently populate the West Wing and EEOB are spilling those beans for fear of a sharp Shrub-switching, so the next best thing would be the perspective from someone from another administration that had been through the pending indictment waiting game. For that, you couldn't do much better than Paul Begala.
