Rusty's right...

It's time to get off my ass and get going, as there is LOTS to talk about.

God's Own Party, yes, those wonderful people who never hesitate to let you know of their moral superiority, seem to be in a world of ethical trouble, as this Ari Berman piece in THE NATION informs us.

Regarding DeLay's indictment:

The indictment sent a shock wave through the GOP establishment, which is already reeling from a mass of criminal and ethics investigations. Three individuals, eight corporations and two political action committees connected to DeLay have been indicted as a result of the probe. In addition, the government's top procurement official, David Safavian, was arrested in September for obstructing a criminal investigation of über-lobbyist Jack Abramoff, a close DeLay ally. Abramoff himself is under criminal investigation for defrauding Indian tribes and was indicted for wire fraud in Florida in a separate case. Top White House aides, including Karl Rove and Scooter Libby, have been targeted by a special prosecutor investigating the outing of CIA agent Valerie Plame. Representative Randy "Duke" Cunningham announced he would not run for re-election after overselling his house by $700,000 to a military industry lobbyist. FDA chief Lester Crawford resigned unexpectedly after just two months on the job, possibly because of failure to report his wife's sizable pharmaceutical-industry holdings. And DeLay's Senate counterpart, Bill Frist, is battling possible insider-trading charges for dumping millions in HCA stock, a company founded by his father and run by his brother, weeks before it plunged in value. The US Attorney in Manhattan and the Securities and Exchange Commission opened an investigation into Frist and HCA in September.

Gee, I wonder if any of them asked themselves before doing these things, what would Jesus do?

One nice outcome of this is that it might finish the political career of Tennessee's most famous kitty-killer, Bill Frist. He had already planned not to seek re-election to focus on a possible presidential run, but after this, he may have to return to upper-management position at HCA. Poor bastard.

Also, with Judy Miller being given the all-clear to testify by her source, Scooter Libby, one has to wonder what will come out next?
