** Republicans just can't help themselves -- they have to be sleazy and corrupt. Today in the House of Representatives, disgraced and criminally indicted Rep. Tom DeLay (R-TX) was appointed to the House Appropriations Committee (which has oversight on controls the funding for the Justice Department). The same Justice Department that is handling the investigation into criminal lobbyist (and DeLay's best friend) Jack Abramoff. So DeLay will now have oversight into an investigation that could eventually indict him? Are we still living in America? This is, without a doubt, the most ethically challenged Congress in history.

** According to National Journal, Former Chief of Staff to Dick "Go Fuck Yourself" Cheney, Lewis "Scooter" Libby, told the grand jury in the CIA leak case that Cheney "authorized" his leak of classified information to the media. Cheney ordered Libby to divulge classified National Intelligence Estimates (NIE) to the media to bolster the administration's case for war. Isn't leaking classified intelligence materials illegal? Treasonous?
