Rusty Tack

Tim F from Balloon Juice on the the pattern of Bush insiders (like Scott) writing critical memoirs:

Here’s the deal: early bailers get some credit for being first (or second or third) out of the gate. Rats that take longer to get off the ship won’t get the same bonus, and anyone still supporting the administration by inauguration day is left holding the legacy. It’s like a game of musical chairs where every seat has a rusty tack on it.
