Started out last Sunday when John McCain told "Meet the Press" that "I'm sure the president has reevaluated his position in light of Putin's recent actions." Maybe it is time for Bush to take another peek into Putin's heart... and this time take Dr. Frist with him?
Then we got the bombshell news that Tom DeLay, the Exterminator King, was stepping down. Sure he faces a few legal hassles, but there were other factors, too. Doesn't make him any more relaxed knowing that his former pals are putting together a new Mormon Tabernacle Choir in the prosecutor's office. On top of that, Tom heard rumors around the capital that Cheney was skeet shooting using clay replicas of Tom's head...
Let's see... what's the next political fiasco? Katherine Harris lost her campaign director, a close advisor and her communications director all in the same day... She's not worried, though... her makeup man is still onboard. Later in the week, Rice admitted that the Bush administration has made "thousands of errors in Iraq"... To be more precise, Condi... 17,000 wounded and over 2500 killed...
Oh, did you read where South Carolina lifted its longtime ban on tattoo parlors? Then a few days later, the Army announced that they're relaxing their practice of rejecting recruits with visible tattoos... Coincidence? Yeah, right...
Here's an item from the Sports Page... Dick Cheney is scheduled to throw out the first pitch at the Washington National's opener against the Mets on Tuesday... think they'll provide flack jackets for the fans? Call it "Flack Jacket Night."
To help drum up future support for our military, the Pentagon has okayed a line of 6-inch toy soldiers called "Real Heroes" modeled after four real GI's who have won bronze or silver stars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The dolls are so realistic, they come with optional prosthetic limbs in case the kids' war games get a little too realistic...
Hey, did you see Ron Kessler, the author of "Laura Bush: An Intimate Portrait" on Larry King Live? Ron told Larry that Laura was "appalled" when she saw how Hillary had decorated the living quarters... Wait until she sees what Monica did to the Oval Office...
Homeland Security official Brian Doyle was snared while attempting to seduce what he thought was a fourteen year old girl via his computer. The White House is denying rumors that Bush called him up and said "Great job, Doylie!"
For more of this kinda stuff, check out my blog... So long until next week!
