Not suprised one little bit. But the next salvo is on the way I’m sure by those ebil republicans.
It’s fun watching the democrats tap dancing on the landmine for once…
Oh well, as if we’re surprised from the most “ethical” Congress:
House Defeats Attempt to Reprimand Murtha
Shocked!! Truly I am!!!
I’m sure this measure will get the healthy amount of attention that it deserves in the media.
With apologies to Paul Shanklin…
The money and the power.
The power and the money.
Slip it in my pocket and I’ll take it to the laundry.
If you got a problem that needs a quick balloonin’,
You can talk on the Hill for a minor contribution.
mutha, an old washed up old fart.
Yep the most openly asinine congress ever… Is that was Pelosi meant by most open? Or was it most open to corruption? I’m confused…
