The MSM has finally woken up to this country's dissatisfaction over the Quagmire in Iraq, thanks to Cindy Sheehan. That's a good thing. It's two years late, but a good thing nonetheless. Watching these galvanized correspondents swarm around Crawford like ants at a picnic, I'm struck by one thought.

Where the hell were these intrepid reporters last month when two bills sailed through Congress that will kick our wallets out the door and into the trash heap? I'm talking, of course, about the Transportation and Energy bills, both stuffed with enough pork to make Jimmy Dean gag.

As a result of these bills, I think we should just change the name of Congress to mirror what it really is: The Best Little Whore House in D.C. Although visions of Hastert, DeLay and Frist in black fishnet are disturbing, they reflect the political Kama Sutra stances these oafs have taken while lobbyists stuffed millions down their governmental g-strings. (What would that make Bush, the Pimp-in-Chief?)

We have a highway bill that isn't about highways and an energy bill that isn't about energy. We're screwed. Come to think about it, any time Bush declares a "victory" in Congress? We're screwed.

The 286.5 billion highway bill is a beaut. It contains at least $24 billion in pork, or special add-ons. This is a bill that shouldn't have been passed. It should have been sold in a deli. When the President of the United States can only defend it by ignoring the transportation aspect of it and stating: "The bill ... is going to help give hundreds of thousands of Americans good paying jobs," you know you're in deep doo-doo. We're paying for members of Congress to take bows before their job-starved voters...
