1. Great line...

It's more like a blood bank that's been dropped into the water, the sharks have taken the first bites, and Amazonian piranhas are clamoring for visas on an expedited basis.

2. Hey, you should edit and provide a snip of article

It's very good!

Do it like this:

(snip)
WASHINGTON - To say that there's blood in the water and the sharks are circling around the Bush administration's Iraq policy would be understatement at this point.

3. This Part was news to me:

Added to these concerns is the lack of transparency, a potential new scandal that surfaced this week when a Florida newspaper reported that Rumsfeld's office had asked the Special Operations Command in Tampa to "park" US$40 million for eventual use by the secretary. The diversion, which was disclosed by a "whistleblower" in the Pentagon, was never reported to Congress and is now being investigated by an internal auditor. The Washington Post on Tuesday called the investigation "explosive", in major part because lawmakers have long complained that Rumsfeld has kept them in the dark on many issues.

What was this all about? A 40 million dollar slush fund for Rummy to do what with?

5. Oh, but Clinton got a blow job! Impeach! Impeach!

This article is MOST revealing, not to mention satisfying. And, no, I had not heard about the latest Rummy scam, either.

What shit WON'T these people pull?

As this evolves, I can't wait to hear the Bible-thumpers keep pushing how much bush is a "good Christian man," who's brought honor and dignity back to the White House!
