4. WOW!!

I can't help but notice the contrast. Yesterday fat ass Hastert pretended to ride in a hybrid car and today true heroes get arrested.

Just who are the true leaders in this country?

5. I think we will be seeing more of this...

At least I hope so, we've got to take our stands and not back down...

6. Of course Republicans can't be bothered

Too bad.

Any arrest for something other than vice or corruption would look good on their records.
