Almost fell out of my chair
Clicked on a link to Yahoo! about the Abramoff scandal and saw the following paragraph, written just like this:

The timing couldn't be worse, politically, especially for Republicans. Lawmakers who may be indicted could find
themselves coming to trial this summer, just ahead of the midterm elections. Around the same time, I. Lewis
"Scooter" Libby, former chief of staff to Vice President

Dick Cheney, is expected to stand trial in the
CIA leak case.



Wow!

2. I especially liked this...
The Republicans, who control Congress and the White House, are likely to take the biggest hits.

7. Good grief: Libby is expected to stand trail - *not* Cheney
Edited on Tue Jan-03-06 09:16 PM by IndyOp
On edit: This reply only applies if you were shocked about Cheney, not if you were shocked about Libby.


I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, former chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney, is expected to stand trial in the CIA leak case.

Libby - who is former chief of staff for VP DC - is expected to stand trial.


Good grief folks:

Did "Panda eats, shoots and leaves."
Or
Did "Panda eats shoots and leaves."

8. I like this sentance...
"You don't have to be a political genius to sniff the smell of blood in the water," said GOP consultant Rich Galen.

Was this written by the same person that gives bu$h speech lessons?
