Driving home last night from London, I listened to the 10 p.m. news on the radio. They were discussing Harriet Miers' withdrawing her name as Supreme Court nominee, wondering if it was a lack of qualifications, a lack of support from the religious right, or both that terminated her nomination. Then they discussed the indictment frenzy—will he, won't he—but I got home and went inside before that discussion was over.
And today, the lead story on The Guardian's website is "White House crisis grows" and there's a continual feed proclaiming "Dark days at White House —AP".
Walking down The Strand yesterday, I saw a t-shirt in a shop window with something nasty to say about Bush.
The average Brit knows more about the goings on at the White House, 5000 miles away, than they do about the daily activities in Ambridge, where the fictional radio drama "The Archers" takes place.
America has become Britain's soap opera.
Just thought I'd share that.
