Rex Nutting, the Market Watch Washington Bureau Chief says that the implosion of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac is a certainty.

Why does he see it as a certainty? Because Bush and His Evil Minions^™ don’t see it happening.

Other Things that Bush and His Evil Minions^™ never expected:

• Terrorists to fly airplanes into buildings.
• Saddam Hussein to have been telling the truth about not having any weapons of mass destruction.
• Iraqis to object to a long-term occupation by a foreign power.
• Hurricane Katrina.
• People in New Orleans to object to the government’s response to Hurricane Katrina.
• The Democrats to take control of Congress.
• The Democrats to cave in so easily on important issues after they took control of Congress.
• Scooter Libby to get caught.
• Jack Abramoff to get caught.
• Abu Ghraib to be discovered.
• Scott McClellan to smell the coffee.
• The housing bubble.
• The credit bubble.
• The housing collapse.
• The credit squeeze.
• Bear Stearns to fail.
