Lay on, MacDuff! Arianna toils and troubles

There’s no question that Arianna Huffington has been moved by PlameGate: the unblinking, watchful eye trained on Judy since the beginning; the &#252ber-prolific posting, the crescendo of finger-pointing toward the Bush administration as the whole sorry mess swirls faster and faster toward its inevitable conclusion — well, girlfriend is clearly affected. But last night, she was moved to poetry, invoking the archetypical themes of Shakespeare’s Macbeth in a sweeping rendering of PlameGate that had 76 commenters swooning.

Incredibly, this springs from the word “mojo” (Jim Morrison, whoda thunk?); Bush has lost his, and in the face of certain White House indictments and uncertain fallout, all he can do is “reluctantly accept” Harriet Miers’ withdrawn nomination and dream big dreams of what he’ll do in office while his closest cabal* of advisors is splintered.
