Lobbyist Jack Abramoff is Political Super-Villian

Remember the pandemonium when the House took up a resolution calling for withdrawal from Iraq and that bitch from Ohio called John Murtha a coward? The assholes did similar stuff today. Basically they had a resolution with some vague language about staying in Iraq until victory is achieved.

Rift? What Rift?
W. Gardner Selby’s column today features a breakdown on the breakdown between Dewhurst and Craddick. Smartly, both men deny any such a thing exists.
