I Ain't Gonna Lie To You

After Trent Lott and Martinez, I don't have high hopes for Bolton's renomination--even if we pay his way. In fact, I'm starting to feel like the "Biederman" character in this movie trailer, and Karl Rove is starting to resemble more and more that large African-American fellow.

"I ain't gonna lie to you. This here next part's gonna feel like somebody's parkin' a Greyhound bus up your..."

But at least I have this to console me: Abramoff's ready to roll over on several legislators, including Harry Reid. That's just delicious.

It's gonna be like Fitzmas for the Right. And I don't care about the Republicans; they didn't sweep to power on a reform agenda. If they're guilty, hang 'em too. In fact, I've developed a computer simulation of what it'll be like at the Capitol once Abramoff starts talking.

OK, I didn't develop that. If I'd done it, it would be harder. And there would be hanging involved. Still, that's kind of fun.
