But I do have questions about DeLay. I never liked the guy, but his argument about prosecutorial vendetta seems to have some teeth. The first grand jury refused to indict, and the second violated the Constitution and indicted him of violating a law before it went into effect. That is enough for me to give him the benefit of the doubt.

Mark Foley is another scumbag, and good riddance, but it appears he stayed just within the letter of the law. Unlike his successor, who very well might have violated labor laws in threatening his former mistress/employee.

Craig is a pathetic loser of a joke. Vitter should be shunned.

And before you bring him up, Cunningham is right where he belongs.

Your turn, chum…

Surely it’s just a coincidence that all the people you mentioned were from he party you oppose.
Shall we throw in Tom DeLay and Mark Foley in the interest of bi-partisanship?

Like I said at the outset: good riddance. Stevens is a senile, superannuated scumbag, and the people of Alaska should have bounced him a long time ago. But since you folks are on your moral high horse, I thought it might be helpful to point out a few more scumbags who could use some similar attention.

Scumbaggery in high office is pretty much non-partisan. I’ve even said that members of Congress, when indicted, should be held to a “guilty until proven innocent” standard just on general principles. To crow that one side is more or less corrupt than the other is pointless, and usually is done as part of an effort to protect one’s own scumbags.

J.

So you are comparing a seven-time convicted felon with someone who said something you don’t like.

And why should we take you seriously?

But nobody was talking about you. You were talking about the hypocrisy of Democrats in response to the hypocrisy of Republicans and decided to quote Jesus to support your point. And I say that the Republicans can have Jesus back when they start caring about the poor, downtrodden, sick, and marginalized just like he did.

Hmm….
I wonder if I was clear enough?

Other than that, though…

And if I may expand on my prior list, the Democratic party poured tons of money to save the ass of Jack Murtha, who declared US troops as “murderers” and other things — before they had been tried, and acquitted.

And Parthenon, you CAN NOT be saying that you’d actually WANT Al Franken in the US Senate, can you? The fact that that asshole has a (D) after his name can’t override everything else about the guy, can it?

Jaim, you might want to reconsider that term, especially in light of Alcee Hastings.

And while not convicted, dare I bring up the name William Jefferson?

Hell, Ted Kennedy and Robert Byrd are still in the Senate.

There’s also Harry Reid’s land deals, Dianne Feinstein steering billions to her husband’s oompanies, Pelosi’s investments in T. Boone Pickens’ companies…

Or the “Friends of Angelo” who got sweetheart mortgages from Countrywide, like Chris Dodd…

Stevens is a senile old swine, and I am glad to see him gone. I was also glad when I heard that Palin had campaigned for his primary rival. Now if the Democrats could do a little housecleaning of their own…

“crotchety octogenarian built like a birch sapling”

SNAP, muthaf**ka.

Nice job.
