Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

That Was Quick

Welcome to the Peep Show.

So, we have our first casualty of Congressional scandal.  GOP Rep Chris Lee of NY got caught posting sexy-time pictures of himself on Craigslist (Facebook For Pervs!).  He then immediately resigned.

No hiking the Appalachian trail, no "I did not have sex with that woman...", no tear stained confessionals.

I have to say I'm very disappointed in this lack of consideration for his wife for scandal mongers.  John Vitter visited a prostitute who diapered him and he WON RE-ELECTION.  John Ensign isn't going anywhere.

Somewhere, Jon Stewart is weeping.
