When the Clinton Administration gave way to George W. Bush's, the ditto-heads didn't know what to do with themselves for a while. They'd been trained by Rush Limbaugh and others to attack, attack, attack the Clintons over any perceived (and many invented) indescretion.

We've begged and pleaded for Congress or the Justice Department to do something before time ran out. But impeachment was off the table. The DOJ wouldn't investigate anything. And predictibly, time is now running out.
We keyboard warriors are quite used to the treatment we get from right-wingers online, and we're going to have to guard ourselves for the coming "Give it up, he's not President anymore!" when we complain about Bush getting off scot free. When they start picking at every little nit, we're going to throw back war crimes, and they're going to say "Hey, if he did anything illegal, why isn't he in jail?" It's the downside to winning, but I guess it's worth it in the end.
