How's this stuff from Fred Thompson:

Thompson implied at Stamford that Republicans, along with Democrats, are responsible for making Americans cynical. While so far not spelling this out publicly, he deplores ethical abuses, profligate spending and incompetent management of the Iraq war. He becomes incandescent when considering abysmal CIA and Justice Department performance under the Bush administration. He is enraged by Justice's actions in decisions leading to Scooter Libby's prison sentence.

From Novak column over at Human Events. Take a read, because my take of the current situation in both parties is that nobody wants any of them very badly, or at least badly enough to get them elected.
