two amusing things

Two things amused me today. This is the first:
















And this is the second -- Tom DeLay says “I have done nothing wrong. ... I am innocent.” He accuses Texas prosecutor Ronnie Earle (D) of being a "partisan fanatic."

Funny DeLay doesn't like it when a duly elected prosecutor goes about doing his job (Earle has prosecuted a helluva lot of Democrats, too) but didn't seem to mind when a partisan GOP hack appointed to look into a real estate deal (one where the object of the investigation LOST money, which is how you can tell it wasn't a Republican) ends up coming around to investigating consensual blowjobs.

Anyhoo, we've got the Republican Majority Leader of the House under indictment; the Republican Senate Majority Leader under investigation for insider trading and conflict of interest; and the de facto Administration still being investigated for revealing the name of a CIA agent, and being hammered even by fellow Republicans for the befuddled response to Hurricane Katrina. And spending absurd amounts of money on various no-bid contracts, including this sweetheart deal for Carnival Cruise Lines.

But at least they see things right on cutting taxes and curbing abortion, right Mr. and Mrs. Kansas? 'Cause you sure can't vote for 'em based on honesty or competence.
