Dumb and Dumberer. Fox Picks Paris, Shaves Bush

I've got a hangover from a rare event last night. No, it wasn't drinking or partying--I wish. It was a presidential press conference, a rarer than a blue moon, in his lordship of G.W. Bush. Well, let's be fair, the guy is just wrapping up a two-month tour touting his Social (in)Security plan. He spoke to many Americans, planted by the Repubs in those fake "town hall" settings. Even last night, our leader couldn't give a straight answer. Anyway, I won't lose sleep over another Bush press conference in prime time for a while now. Hey, did you notice that FOX (in New York at least) cut Bush short towards the end of his conference because it wanted to run The Simple Life with Paris Hilton! Well, I don't really blame Fox News for doing this; Bush wasn't saying anything relevant or illuminating (that would be the day).
I was primed today to write something about the non-news Bush would made last night, but today on a second thought, I'll just let you have a few morsels to chew in your mind during the rush hour on your way home this evening.
The House relented and voted to go back to the old standard of ethics. In the last Congress, the Repub-dominated Ethics Committee had admonished the corrupt Repub leader Delay. That didn't sit well with the leadership, so in the new Congress (emerged after last election in 2004), they threw out the Repub chairman who dared to enforce the ethics rules & punish Delay, and for good measure, they changed the rules to shield Tom "The Hammer" Delay! That was under the Repub plan to establish, first, one-party rule, and then a theocratic state.
But, the pile of dung kept getting bigger and stinkier and now the Repub Majority leader Delay is so filthy that the Repubs are realizing that holding on to someone who's covered in elephant dung is not a good thing.
I expect things to return to normal as the Ethics Committee will now be used to go after those Dems who started the whole thing against Delay. As any zookeeper would say, incompatible animals will soon attack each other, especially when the food is scarce. Let's keep it that way, otherwise those omnivores will turn on us for fresh meat. This has happened before. Actually, this was the expectation of the Repub leadership: don't attack us, we won't attack you. Sure, we'll have an ethics committee! Wink, wink, ya know what I mean?
