#1 Did the Seattle church group know who the donation came from? Did none of them suspect they were merely a front?

#3 And again, a long-dormant fantasy stirs back to life...

...a courtyard at Leavenworth Federal Prison...two PFC's tying Jim McDermott to a stake in front of a sandbagged wall as a JAG Captain reads the court's death sentence and the armorer checks the sights on the M-14s...

#4 This story was on the front page of the Cincinnati Enquirer this morning, below the fold. I don't know about anyone else, but I'd rather my representatives were venal than fools... although of course I'd much rather they were honest and clever, and agreed with me on the critical particulars, were the world a perfect place.

#6 Well, we know what districts really only want tools and socks puppets rather than representatives. So, can we inquiry when the shills will refile their travel papers to accurately reflect who paid for their trip? Otherwise we can ask our own Congresscritters to file an ethics violation act on their asses.

#7 File this under Democrats Without Sex Scandals.
Did you see the latest photo of Pelosi ? Yikes, it's the Oxbutt part of Botox. What a shame.

#8 I distinctly recall a comment on RB around the time these useful idiots went over to Iraq not long before the invasion. The commentator, whose identity escapes me now (which is unfortunate, as I would like to pay my respects) made it a point to highlight how truly careless and oblivious these useful idiots must be to partake in such a spectacle.

Then again, stupid is as stupid does.

Just unindicted at the present time, not unsuspected.
