Bush even had lunch with the woman "who thinks she's gon' be speaker, but she's not" yesterday. It's all an act. He needed a scapegoat, and Rumsfeld already had the armed forces asking for his removal. Low-hanging fruit. That's very different than actual change.
The differences I expect to see in the next few years are-
- A few quick "Dem-style" bills with enough bipartisan support to avoid the veto.
- Closer to elections, some "pie in the sky" Dem bills that are presented knowing that they will get vetoed, so that they can use it as an issue in the campaign. Whatever the Democratic version of "quick, let's propose an anti-gay marriage constitutional amendment!" turns out to be.
- Judge confirmations should be interesting for the next few years.
Other than that, business as usual, I suspect.

Why can't we all just get along
