While Washington is in desperate need of a serious “House” cleaning, I pity the poor sucker who has to follow the 2 current criminals running the show. In this age of technology, most of what continues in DC is obsolete. There is little that happens in Washington that can’t take place at the state level. If Congress took a year off, we would hardly notice their absence, except for the billions that would not be squandered. We do it this way because we’ve always done it this way. At this point, the price of tradition is too high. DC is only a place where the most convincing liar reaches and then hangs on while the raping the constituents who sent them there. If Congress ever became accountable for their behavior the way they hold us accountable for ours, they’d all be in jail.

The previous post somehow omitted half of what I wrote, so here’s the rest:
As for John Boehner, if his term hasn’t expired or the voters of Ohio don’t boot him out in November and he’s still hanging around the Capitol dome, he may face a House Ethics Committee revived by an overwhelming Democratic majority in the U S House after January 2009, and end up paying the piper for his part in fraudulent election tampering in Ohio and his cozy secret deal making with Abramoff. In a couple of years he may just join his former Ohio House colleague and Abramoff buddy in prison, or maybe that clever, criminal coin dealer and Republican fund raiser from Toledo who also is in prison. Interesting “coincidence” isn’t it ? Prominent Republicans occupying cells the U S penal system. It has become a habit and there will probably be more of the boys heading off to the pokey if the new administration in DC cleans house, especially the U S House. And I’ll bet Boehner thinks we all forgot !

I am quite pleased to read the fact that Jake Tapper got something right for a change. I hope he continues and sets a new trend in his reporting because from what I’ve seen, heard, and read of him for the past year or so he’s been the poster boy for the moribund Washington Press Corpse

If the mainstream media organizations were the least bit objective about U.S. politics, instead of constantly protecting the GOP, the following would have happened.

Bush would never have been elected president (perhaps not even gov. of Texas).
Al Gore would have been president.

There would be no Iraq war.

Dick Cheney would probably be in jail.

We would still have been narrowing the fed deficit as we were doing under Bill Clinton.

John McCain would not be the GOP candidate for pres.

Etc., etc., etc.

You can’t expect them to give Barack Obama a fair shake in this election. They’re going to distort and exaggerate every chance they get in order to destroy him.

What else is new? The government and the media is controlled by greedy and stupid crooks who can’t see beyond the next election or the next stockholders’ meeting.

“Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.”

The right wing loves to shove the Ten Commandments down our throat. Would that they would actually start obeying them for a change.
