Hey Roger, things aren’t that bad. Look at the starting line-up of leaders: Harry Reid (Abramoff? don’t know him), Murtha (what’s an Abscam), Hastings (impeachment isn’t what it once was) Conyers (race isn’t everything) Waxman (hearings? what hearings?), Hillary (I’m going to shove healthcare reform down your throat and you’re going to like it), and Pelosi (this will be the most un-corrupt House ever)

You gotta love it

And on the Republican side its more of the same, guys who earned their stripes by being around long enough and paying their dues. There doesn’t appear to be any true leaders but at least we get, once again, to see Trent Lott’s helmet hair not move at all when interviewed outside on a windy day. Now that’s worth something.
