Hear they are eating cow dung in Zimbawee (thanks to Mugabe), so let us celebrate Tennyson's demise with a little "barnyard cake with chicken roost filling".

Or shall I write this s**t: “Tis F**king better to have F**king redressed & F**king lost Than F**king never to have F**king redressed F**king at all”? I think I’ve got it. I think I’ve F**king got it. By George, I’ve got it. By George, I’ve F**king got it. russel

How about this Tennyson rephrasing:

“Tis better to have redressed & lost
Than never to have redressed at all”?

Or shall I write this s**t:

“Tis F**king better to have F**king redressed & F**king lost
Than F**king never to have F**king redressed F**king at all”?

I think I’ve got it. I think I’ve F**king got it.
By George, I’ve got it. By George, I’ve F**king got it.

I never heard of him until the recent uproar. Don't have a dog in the hunt--no axe to grind. He does what all politicians do--he just got caught. His news conference a fews days ago was fascinating, especially his quote of a Tennyson poem, I would have preferred another Alfred Lord Tennyson quote,"into the valley of impeachment rode Blagojevich, politicians to the left of him, politicians to the right of him roared and bitched, but onward, onward rode Blogojevich." Just a thought!! Blago is my boy–the perfect politician. I never heard of him until the recent uproar. Don’t have a dog in the hunt–no axe to grind.

"...then instead of addressing the substance of the charges, change the subject." Have you noticed another popular method is to fob away a transgression by noting, "yes, but so-and-so did ?" Pure moral relativism at it's finest. At times it's as if we're not watching politicians in action - we're watching a pack of 10 year old's try to weasel out of a deserved butt-whipping. Phil:

Could we say that Blago lobbed his shoes at President Obama? I for one celebrate the diversity of the Chicago Machine which can incorporate a member of The Bomber Left since his father was one of them. It's like Harry Truman covering up the communists in government because they were Democrats, following the Prendergast KC machine rules: take care of your own. Obama didn’t get the message: He takes care of nobody who might stain his aura. Nobody. Not the Rev Wright…. It’s not worth it as Harry found when he tried to run for reelection in ’52. Inwood Phil

The R even shows in the first line of their articles while the D, if it shows at all, is multiple paragraphs down and well below the point where todays voters stop reading because their heads hurt and the words get too difficult for them to understand. Today, the D hypocrisy abetted by Rs, goes forward with Harry Reid pushing the Never Achieve Energy Independence bill which withdraws millions of acres from energy development as a payment to the bugs and bunnies supporters of the Messiah. Business as usual under the reign of O the first.
