  • Lets hope President Darth Cheney's case

    doesn't make it into court, or get settled, until two minutes after Bushit leaves his office. "Pardon" my audacity...

  • Sorry Stevio ...

    but Darth has declared that Junior isn't allowed to leave office until he gets his pardon, Constitution be damned.

  • The report wasn't released because of a "fierce" protest...

    ...by the MINORITY party?

    You know, the ones that lost the last election?

    I don't know why we vote for these Democratic clowns.

  • Ever heard of Viagra, Dukie?

    What a pig this guy is.

    He bitches because he didn't get the younger prostitute, and then he couldn't even get the old afterburners going long enough to tap out on the older one. I don't buy that sudden onset of guilty conscience. He never exhibited that behavior before, when he was accepting envelopes full of hundred dollar bills.

    Besides, I think his pal the defense contractor was just looking out for the old fighter jock. The younger prostitute would have probably given him a heart attack.

  • Wait a minute, REPUBLICANS who are opposed to wasteful contracts?

    This whole investigation will have been worth it if it can be established that there were two Republican congresscreatures who were opposed to wasteful and unnecessary military contracts!

  • Peter Hoekstra

    If the name Peter Hoekstra, the ranking Republican and former chairman, looks familiar, think back to last year. He and Rick Santorum were the ones who announced they had found WMDs in Iraq which turned out to be gas shells that were old during the Kuwait war. http://thinkprogress.org/2006/06/21/santorum-wmd/

    Want to bet he has a lot to hide in that report? More evidence of delusion if nothing else.

  • On Hoekstra

    We posted about him a little bit back when he and Santorum tried that fake WMD thing...

    But, he probably is not on the take. I guess that he saw things that would embarrass other Republicans. Hoekstra has a far over-inflated view of himself recently (comically so!), but he probably is not a big-league financial or sexual hypocrite.

    He is a just a guy from West Michigan who thinks he's cool. And, by West Michigan standards, he is sort of cool. But, Pete! Pull back! Stay away from those soon-too-be-out-of power Texans and Washingtonians.
