Some hope and a good Tom Lehrer image from TPMCafe this morning:

If the public at large turned angrily on the White House, though, a fair number of swing-district Republicans would manage to find -- or create -- their voices of outrage. Most Republicans,though, would be glancing back and forth between angry voters and Karl Rove's cornered-rat White House, feeling , in Tom Lehrer's immortal words, "like a Christian Scientist with appendicitis," and trying to fend off commitment for as long as humanly possible.
