DAVID CORN, Washington bureau chief of Mother Jones, reviews the year in politics – and considers the future of the Republicans.

JUAN COLE comments on Arab suprt for the journalist who threw shoes at Bush, and the secret government report on the failure of the US reconstruction effort in Iraq.   Juan’s indespensible Iraq blog, “Informed Comment,” is at JuanCole.com.  Juan’s book Napoleon’s Egypt is out now in paperback.  READ the secret official report on Iraq Reconstruction HERE.  WATCH shoe-throwing video HERE
