3. Breaking: Judd Gregg is a rotten fucking fink.
Oh wait, that's not breaking, he's had the "R" after his name for quite some time now.

Apologies for the language, but this merits it, IMO.

10. I smell a setup. As if Gregg and the GOP were planning this all along...
...as a final push to discredit and possibly sink the stimulus plan.

12. It had been moved into the WH and out of the Commerce Dept.
Where Gregg could've monkeyed with the number to gerrymander congressional districts.

18. I think Gregg was cornered by his fellow Repubs and waterboarded until he repented...
The whole thing was very weird.

I wonder if Gov. Richardson has straightened out his tax misunderstanding and is now available for nomination?
