What's with Baird's change of heart ?

2. I don't know, but this is the first week I'd ever heard of this asshole.

He's sure getting a lot of media attention and Lieberman-style love and petting from the GOP, isn't he?

3. I think the goons are out to "talk" to these commie lefties.

You can't tell me the powers that be are not putting the screws on these people. I thought it was quite stunning that when Scooter and Timmy Russert showed up for court, they were both on crutches. What are the chances of that happening? Jus' sayin'.

6. He's up for re-election in 2008

The district he represents is on the conservative side. This stinks to high heaven of a "political" move to secure his seat.

7. I gave this clown a lot of money

when he first ran in '98. Then, as soon as he was elected he flipped on most of the issues I care about - support for NAFTA comes to mind.
