    Condi needs to be asked that question -- under oath.

    You go, girl.

    And at least he didn't kill someone like Ted Kennedy. Blowjob. Jefferson's freezer cash. Barney Frank's gay. Blah.

    We'd like to get rid of him but the fucking idiots from West-by-God-Virginia keep re-electing his ass. On the other hand, he's apparently not taking gifts under the table from the oil lobby.

    I just wish one of the senators would have told him to take a hike. But you know, they're all friends there.

    Such a nice little club.

    Wish they'd do their jobs.

    Here's a summary of Ted's career from the Washington Post.

    Basically, the column says he got away with so much crap because he was feared. FEARED!

    "Tubes?" that was the most ridiculous comment I had ever heard in my lifetime, given the context (man chairing the Senate Commerce Committee). Thank goodness.

    Just happened to see an excerpt from the Simpsons movie where they drive into Alaska and they get a $1000 for letting the oil companies rape their land. Perfect storm.

    All points well taken, even if you did make them in sarcasm.
    By the way, the issue has never been about Barney Frank being gay. It was about his boyfriend using their house for illegal activities.

    Careful, Hondo. Pastor might still play the "bigot" card.

    Love that "I'm innocent" part.

    Another megalomaniac, provided far too much rope.

    Bye, bye, Teddy.

    So let's summarize:

    Vitter -- who crusaded for family values -- had sex with a prostitute.
    Craig got caught soliciting gay sex in an airport bathroom
    Stevens got caught accepting thousands of dollars in illegal gifts.

    What do all three have in common? They're all still U.S. Senators.
