8. I cracked the code on the liberal media meme
Anytime the media reports news--it's liberal.
Liberal=Truth.
Anything that isn't propaganda from their talking points is liberal.
So, this vast liberal conspiracy took down Ney.
I can live with that.
The vast TRUTH conspiracy took down Ney.
See how nicely interchangeable those words are?

6. But I thought he was innocent as the day is long
Of course, winter's coming on and the sun sets earlier and earlier these days.

I suppose I shouldn't hold my breath waiting for Ney's apology for lashing out at his critics.

10. Another Friday, another Republican scandal.
Hope this one has legs, because it goes to heart of the election fraud perpetrated on Ohio.

17. Isn't Abramoff also tied to Shelley Moore Capito, R-WV?
She's in a real horse race with Democratic challenger Callaghan and I'd love to see her corrupt ass go down just like her old man.

14. He won't need it
He's probably already been offered a job with Halliburton or Kellogg, Brown & Root. Crime pays if you're a Republican.

13. Apparently MSRNC haven't gotten the scoop yet..
Whora O'Donnell is bloviating about the snowstorm and power outages in Buffalo and the family of four found dead along the FL Turnpike.

How long will it take????

18. So, how corrupt are our elections? Bob Ney authored
the "Help America Vote Act" that is being implemented for November.

And you know and I know what BushCo means when they say they're "helping" us vote:

22. Will FOX call him a Democrat? Let's see...
Wow, this is more like an explosion than a meltdown.
