Musings 97--Miscellaneous stuff

I should be happy that Tom DeLay will not be the House Majority leader anymore. I'm really not because it is so sad that the Republican Party picks such sleazy people for leadership roles.

The rebublicans came to power as corruption fighters. Now it is hard to find a member of the GOP not covered in some kind of scandal. Now it looks like Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist will be next. Oh, Woe!

Alito seems to be the best we get for judge, so let it happen and focus more on the Abramoff scandal.

Pat Robertson is as corrupt as anyone in congress. He has made money off of fear and by taking advantage of tax free exemptions to religious concerns. He also made money off the hurricane Katrina deal by having one of his tax free concerns on the FEMA web sites. Years ago he shipped mining equipment to Africa aboard his humanitarian aid airplanes. Bad Pat, bad Pat!

Jack Abramoff was on the Bush transition team when King George came to power. Now the Bushies are saying, "Jack who?" It is kind of like saying "Ken who?" when Kenneth Lay went down for Enron. Lay was a partner in the drilling business that George Jr. had before he got in baseball. With friends like the Bushies, who needs enemies?

Apparently, the NSA wiretapping goes in all directions. Rumor has it that a CNN reporter was wiretapped...in the name of national security, of course.

I guess it comes down to the fact that this President of the United States does not want to answer to anybody. In short, he is a King, and the King can do no wrong. Didn't we fight a revolution over something like that...against a fellow named George?
