They will still be there and waiting for someone a little more cloaked and photogenic to make stupidity and evil look less like they are. <br /><br />On the other hand, it's going to be hard to deny exactly what's been lying at the bottom of the trunk, and who was happy to pick those things up when it looked like it might benefit them.
