    consider yourselves zinged!

    "Whatever may become of Abramoff, Reed, DeLay and their luckless co-conspirators, the Colson path will not be open to them. When you've spent a lifetime exploiting religion for profit and power, it's a lot harder to convince anyone that you've undergone a jailhouse conversion."

    This zinger shows what I love about Joe. This is the most brilliant sentence I've read all week. Joe Conason is the single person most responsible for my renewing my Salon Premium membership year after year.
