"And there will be Wars and rumors of whores!"

Senator Chuck Ghastly was just on my TV screaming for some democratic political blood, because of the SecretServiceGate DISASTER. Senator Ghastly wants a full investigation and he wants it now. I guess Chuck plans to hold his breath until he turns blue if he don't get an investigation.

The House is starting to attack Obama too, and the orange Boner is squawking even more shrilly than Chuck Ghastly. Newt is out so the corporate/GOPer dollars are going to be pipelined 100% into Mitt's ads. The full court press is on Mister Obama! Looks like the Pubbys dirty deeds are on the rise, as of today.

I wonder where Chuck was during torturegate...I didn't hear him demand justice back then? Or when the Government Oil regulators were partying hearty with the oil tycoons in Colorado?

It took nearly a whole week before they stove-piped this onto the White House. That's an extraordinary display of restraint for these troglodytes.

who arranged for the hookers.

Republicans are so funny when they get all apoplectic about sexcapades. Their collective obsession with sex - excepting when it's their own antics - begs for serious analysis.

There was an investigation and all the agents involved were fired or seriously disciplined for their actions. Funny - I don't remember this kind of outrage when Bush stockpiled the Secret Service, DOJ, and other various agencies with vastly underqualified Regent University graduates.
