2. Well it's all very embarrasing
It turns out the pump they were using - was pulling muck out of the swamp, but some joker (probably rove) had run the hose around to the swamp - so that all we were doing was pumping water out of the swamp and then back into the swamp. Kind of self defeating.

Bush has been notified of the problem, but doesn't want to move the hose because to do so would waste all the effort he's put into this project so far.

3. We're Still Finding "Cess"
This swamp is so fetid, and the Democrats' Hazmat suits don't include a spine, they're not even close to the swamp yet to even start cleaning it up. Every day another GOOP or boooshie turd surfaces and adds to the stench. Consider this a "Superfund" sight that will take years to detox.

6. Pubs, Dems, and independant legislators all stink.
They forget the reason that they were sent to Washington and instead are looking out for whoever can get them the most money and airtime.
