How did a bunch of two-year-olds get elected to Congress?
All together now, one more time: You can't turn your back on Washington for a minute without all heck breaking loose.
Less than 24 hours after they cheered and applauded and otherwise minded their manners when there was company in the house (British Prime Minister Tony Blair dropped by to address a joint session of Congress), our elected representatives got into a squabble amongst themselves today.
And considering reports in the Washington Post and elsewhere that a "White House operative" sicced gossip Matt Drudge on the ABC reporter who interviewed disgruntled U.S. troops in Iraq, you might well be inclined to ask the people running the place what the &*%@#! is up with that. Drudge duly reported that reporter is not only gay, but -- gasp! -- Canadian.
Meanwhile, Democracy Now! reports that troop morale has reached new lows, and Editor & Publisher magazine reports that the number of U.S. military deaths in Iraq is up to 3 times higher than the media has reported. So far Drudge has yet to post any bulletins on the nationality or sexual orientation of of either Editor & Publisher or Democracy Now!
