1. Swamp draining is off the table. It's been locked away with impeachment.
And oversight.

And accountability.

And ending the war.

Why do you hate America?

:sarcasm:

3. Not that I am defending Nancy Pelosi, but she has one small problem.
The Bunco Squad is now run by Bushies, loyal to the point of criminality. All the honest people have been cashiered, and if there are any honest ones left, they have been subjected to a systematic pattern of harassment, I suspect (non-sexual and non-racial, so there is probably little recorse), that makes the worst things you or I have ever experienced in the workplace look like a walk in the park.

Mind you, the proper reponse is Rooseveltian, NOT Pelosian (ugh, what a slimy word I just created, eh?), but you see her dilemna and the dilemna of all the Democrats.

So, the Bunco Squad is still around, I suspect. It has just been reassigned to the Bushie Black Ops Voter Suppression Campaign or perhaps the Data Mining Liberal Democrats to Neutralize Them With Political Blackmail or Destroy Them Like Spitzer While Craig and Vitter Laugh and Continue On Op.

6. The Bunko Squad is a political tool thanks to Karl and Dick.
Congress is a sick joke thanks to themselves.

"Book 'em, Danno!"

7. The difference between Congress and the Boy Scouts...
The Boy Scouts has some adult leadership.

I'm probably wrong


"Are we the doves?"

LMAO. Ahem...

11. The dove of love has been blasted off it's perch by the War on Terra.
Now the Terra-ists want to grab it's golden egg.

Congress is in a constant state of stampede.

13. All we have left is the tangled web that BushCo has been spinning...
Soon the snake handlers and holy rollers who helped the neocons won't have a pit to hiss in or a window to throw it out of, but by the time they discover that the neospider has them in the death grip too, it will be too late to repent for their ignorance and narrow mindedness.

We might not have Jack anymore...but we damned sure have the tangled WEB the deceivers have been spinning non-stop.

I think Bush meant to say..."I am the Deceiver" but he just couldn't tell the truth.
