''IT IS time to set down in type the most difficult sentence in the English language. That sentence is short and simple. It is this: Bush was right."

The Axis of Weasel is crying uncle, and much of the chorus is singing from the same songsheet.

Even Jon Stewart worries about ideological implosion.
